    1) The various chemicals people put on coins (Blue Ribbon, MS 70, etc.), and how each chemical affects the color of copper, nickel, silver and gold coins.

    2) How various processes, ie., heating, lasering, puttying, etc. is done, how it affects coins made of the aforementioned metals, and what to look for so we can spot this process more readily.

    The easier to spot doctored coins, the better.

    What areas of the coin market are undervalued?
    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    I'd like to see more about altered coins. Pics and discussion would be good. More guess the grades would be good, especially circulated coins.

    Some chatter about dealers and ebay experences are ok, but for me it's very heavily weighted here.
