<p>[QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 2197514, member: 73321"]Thank you for responding, I hardly had a chance to get the 'corn outta the micro. However, personal likes are important, I agree!! But I have seen US cents exploited because they had some colors in them, exploited in that the normal selling prices could increase by 10x. I have seen coins dipped in an acidic solution, then quickly dipped in an alkaline solution (baking soda, or potassium monopersulfate) and the results were spectacular and unpredictable. And the sides of the coin in no way were similar. A handful of 1950's cents could generate hundreds of dollars for the manipulators. (Do note, in that the SOME of the circular "rainbow" effects seem to be more often genuine, again this is my personal experience). I think the rainbow effect can be recreated by wise manipulators, but it is difficult to ascertain!! I guess it is "to each his own". Again thank you for replying, I liked your reply, it is the only one which justifies the practice of this type of coin alternation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
