I never did mention this, the sale of the 1909-S and the 1910-S more than covered the purchase price! I like to add an image with other coins if...
Oh, absolutely! If it doesn't come of easy - dirt, axel grease, nicotine, it's not meant to be. Why was there so much axel grease around in the...
These are the "best of the best". I went through both folders and sorted them, choosing the best ones for the first, and successfully selling the...
This is the 1914-D in a 50/50 overlap with the plate coin on PCGS Coin Facts. The upper window is my coin, the more central circle is 100% PCGS....
Just piddling around some more with them today... For instance, trying to figure out what to do with this bad boy: I decided to swap him out and...
NO! Dawn strips away too much of the essence of the coin's patina! It has sodium laurel sulfate. And it turns the coin blue! (Ya had me at...
And, I find myself at the end of the journey! (I ended up successfully selling both the Whitman Bookshelf album and the Folder I had assembled...
Yes! And be sure to spend even more money on a bean sticker while you're at it!
The half is out of the folder during this time, because she had to spend a year in exile on the window sill to retone. Got a good deal on the...
I love old Whitman coin folders, probably because I didn't have the money as a kid to experiment with collecting other series than the Lincoln...
Oh my blue heaven! I didn't bid on this junk! I was just admiring the seller's honesty, though. It was the verbiage that made me chuckle. And...
So frustrating to win an auction and get a surprise metal-detector find that wasn't mentioned in the seller's description in the mail a week...
I found my way to this thread to try to figure out why there are so many older cents with x's carved into the reverse. Just got a nice set of...
I CAN'T with this web-site! My post has split. I thought this one was lost because I wasn't signed in. And I actually wrote the whole thing again!...
Thanks. The stem on the six too long and pointing too far to the right? What's the best go-to diagnostic?
Back paddle! I read the label on Dawn - sodium this, sulfate that. I switched this time to a boiling pot of water and Ivory soap. What a...
Yeah, and "wash coins", but don't "clean them"! Clear Dawn dish soap heated on the stove does well. (The blue tinted kind actually tints copper!)...
What a nice compliment! Thank you! But, you're doing the right thing. Better to get your feet wet than your head soaked. Join a coin club, go to...
Too bad I have to return them all! There was a (second) 1931 in the 31-S slot. And that's "not as advertised"! Back they go! I won't STAND for...
So, not only key dates, but same in VF and AU! No, I kid you not! This HAPPENED! It's not some deranged cry for attention! If you're in Kentucky,...
