Was talking to a Laser Tech. guy the other day. He stated that the Laser did not like the low quality steel with surface "patina" that our company purchases.


So I pulled out a catalog to show him the "petina" I like to see on a coin. Turns out he collects Roman coins.

    Why did you spell it "petina", rather than "patina"?

    Hate to hack further into the OP here...but "careful" only has one L.

    Well, now that we are done thoroughly spell-checking the OP...
    What sort of laser are we talkin about here?

    It is interesting how there are places where one wants to hook up with other coin collectors...
    And yet there are other environments where one doesn't want to.
