Washing Coins - Cheap And Circulation - 2 new
---------------------------------------------
Lke many collectors, I take items out of circulation, and also buy some cheap
circulated items. Some brass and copper coins of recent vintage are still
shiny. And I want to keep them that way. My current idea is just to give them
about ten seconds or so of water under the kitchen tap. I am suspicious of
using dishwashing liquid, because of the risk - Sat, Dec 20 2008 10:56 pm

Dear Co-Collector Very interesting. It's easy to take it with you everywhere.
You don't need to carry kilos of paper. It concerns PDF-files, easy to handle,
to print, to search. I don't use that catalog anymore. Have it for sale at
Ebay for those interested within the European Union only. Original and
complete. - Sun, Dec 21 2008 1:22 am

make it your New Year resolution to stop. We get troll posts because the
