<p>[QUOTE="cris11, post: 799426, member: 22136"]Coin talk has taught me a number of things, especially as I am new to the hobby, since I joined a few months ago. Firstly caring for my coins. I learned that PVC does not mix well with coins, and that coins should be NEVER cleaned. Storing coins was also something I was exposed to here, flips seem to be most encouraged and liked (which is what I got too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ). Secondly I have learned a great deal about toning, doctoring and the like. I honestly never would have guessed in a million years that H2S causes silver to turn funky colors. CT has given me tips to look out for not only doctored coins, but also fake gradings, and other fake coins in general that can be found on Ebay and the internet. I would also like to thank CT for helping me identify several coins in my world/ancient collection that I did not have the faintest idea about before coming here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
