Xray

this.

surprised to see several dealers packing up and leaving already

flights.) But fortunately most...

cent piece:

some letters - which I hope you can see...

Identifying a coin by
dwsidwell
I'm wondering if someone can give me a suggestion on the best way to
identify a coin.
I found a coin when going through some daily change. It is a 1896
coin, but I can't find any wording on it indicating a country, etc.
One side has a large "2" with the date and some branches/leaves. I
can't...

Toning by
f b
Thanks to someone here, I have been pulling toned coins out of
circulation.
A question, If I remember right, once I put them in 2X2 the toning
should stop?
I like them the color they are now and don't want any more to be added.
Am I right, or is there a better way to stop the toning?
Thanks,...

Auction Catalogues by

I have around 30 or so Bowers & Merena/Ruddy auction catalogues from the 1980's
(back when I was an active collector /investor). Can anyone tell me if there
is a market for these or of any contacts to numismatic literature dealers who
might be interested in them? Thanks Much.
