Ok, so I watched a lot of youtube videos this week, more so xmas day as you were all relaxing and I was searching and learning.

One thing I noticed included the fact that all those videos of professional dealers and collectors were handling coins without gloves on !, not very professional after all.

Watching videos of mints making coins and blanks I saw them putting them into big drums of steel balls etc and chmical baths to make them shine!, I thought that was a no no to wash coins etc. So it leaves me a little confused.

Ahh the dark side of youtube, why do I always end up there.

Don't forget, that was the preparation of proofs, which use polished blanks as well as polished dies.
