Re: Russ, how did this one get past you?
Clark, He's yanking your chain. If I'd have seen it, I'd have bought it at that price even with the milk spot. While the spot cannot be removed, it can be substantially reduced. For $10, it's worth a shot. Russ, NCNE -
Re: Acetone and spotting eagles.
I use Koinsolv, which is a brand name solvent containing n-Propyl bromide, 2-Propanol, Dimethoxymethane, 2-Methyl-2-Propanol and 1,2 Epoxybutane. This solvent is not Acetone but I understand that it has similar properties. I usually just swirl the coin in a glass cointaining the liquid and then dip it in a separate glass… -
Re: Guess the Grade - 2019 Reverse Proof Silver Eagle
That is a nasty yellow toned milk spot forming which is only going to increase in size. Not to mention the smaller water spot mark shown in the proof field of the dress. 67 at best, and this coin might as well hit the melt bucket -
Re: What does it mean when the same coin gets sold on Teletrade multiple times?
<< <i>Is the coin not a DCAM because the frost is weak on Kennedy's check and the eagle's shield? >> That, and quite a bit of the lettering. << <i>Though I do not collect DCAMs, am I correct in presuming that it is these characteristics that preclude the DCAM grade? >> In my opinion, yes. << <i>What are you looking for as… -

Re: Congratulations to silver! New all time high: $120+!!!
Well yeah on hold, can you read the date and time of the edited post? He just put it on hold. As for the tokens can you guarantee that you treat the blanks so they don't develop those nasty milk spots, toning etc. And just noticed spot: The way things are going looks like that dude was lucky to get the 65x when he did.… -

Re: A question for sellers on eBay or BST that don't accept returns.
My few eBay listings say no returns because I don’t want it turning into an approval service. With such low volume (and items I’ve decided don’t have a spot in my collection), it doesn’t make financial sense to offer returns. Now if someone reasonable asks (reasonable meaning they don’t have a history of leaving multiple… -

Re: Any advice on raw coins?
