Re: Should you clean coins?
Oh yeah, if you really want to clean a coin, I would suggest soaking it in clear olive oil for a year or so. Less if it is a mild cleaning. Acetone works to remove some spotting from a coin, but this has to be done carefully. Acetone carefully applied can remove those fresh fingerprints. Sometimes you only let the fumes or… -
Re: opinon on this 69-s ddo1
Whatever is sent to you in the mail, it won't be this coin, more likely an empty package or a plain old 69s cent. Next step would be to sue you for switching/stealing coins from this poor young girl that is grieving for her daddy. How does a PCGS MS64 6-figure coin get cracked out and end up in a newbie's hands? Answer, it… -
Re: Will You Sell some coins and buy a Harley this Spring?
I was wiped out on a Honda back in HS. Had my helmet yanked tight and the crash apparently blew it off like butter. Pickup turn left right in front of me and knocked me out cold until reached the Hospital. Lenthly hospital recovery. A couple yrs later, a car of pyshco's tried running me over on a high speed chase late at… -
Re: NFL in Decline?
I immediately thought about this thread when I (unfortunately) saw that nonsense last night. That was not your average run-of-the-mill blown call, mind you. That was multiple incompetent acts by an officiating crew that should have been fired on the spot. If I had been Tyrannosaurus Rex, I would have been flagged, kicked… -

u1's top 10 purchases of 2022 {2023 update in comments}
As we approach the conclusion of another year, I continue a tradition of looking back and evaluating my purchases. There were some duds (I'll spare sharing those here), a few decent collector coins, and of course the highlights-that is what this thread is about. My main focus is a box of 20 and a few of the coins on this… -
Re: Anyone else get the new RCNH monthly newsletter?
just like it is not a great idea to get all your knowledge on a certain newsworthy topic from the ABC, NBC, or CBS evening news, it is also not a great idea to characterize what Warren Mills had to say with just two selected quotes. For a better understanding of his opinion of CAC, one is advised to read the entire… -
Re: TEBOW !!!
.jpg)
Sometimes I wonder if the OP is actually Skip Bayless... The people in the Southeast can talk up the SEC all they want but the SEC is still the amateurs. The worst NFL team is still miles above the best amateur team on any given day. Yet, many SEC players achieve success in the NFL but Tebow hasn't. He isn't simply… -
Re: First SS Central America coins hit the market
Didn't realize there is more of this choice/gem shipwreck gold out there to bring up...esp. the 1857-s twenties. Increasing supplies and dwindling collector/investor base isn't a good formula. Better values than shipwreck gold in the market today include US Mint 1 oz proof gold eagles in mint packaging for 2-3% over spot.… -
Re: How should I handle this eBay seller?
Normally when an auction doesn't specify a charge for shipping , a quick question to the seller about that occurs asap. That way there won't be any surprizes. Further more, the 22 negitives would normally raise a mental red flag , at least to me. Nothing like getting ready to be # 23. We generally reap what we sow in life.…
