[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2726181, member: 71723"]Regarding the average knowledge of the typical coin club denizen, I am afraid I have to agree. People like John Eshbach are not being adequately replaced, and furthermore, the prospects don't look so good. Even Red Rose is becoming a gang of bullionistas. :( The people I admire MOST in this field, and I do have a negative view of the modal dealer, I admit, are those who study the field for the studying per se, without the profit motive mixed in. They ARE exceedingly rare. It's the same deal as in my previous career, photography. The best photographers on the planet are people nobody ever heard of. They decided to eschew commercialism, and I admire that. I DO use a thiourea dip of my own concoction that uses citric acid, not a more active one like sulfuric or hydrochloric. I have proven to my own satisfaction that "overdipping" effects are NOT from the thiourea, but from an excessively active acid.
