T-BOP, this photo is straight from the SD card, the only thing I did was crop it down to 1600x. Not sure if that is helpful with what you noted about the "texture" thing.

Edit: Originally I left them in Verdi-Care for about 10 minutes, then carefully blotted (not wiped) them dry with a coin cloth. Is that not long enough of a soak? Should I try 30 minutes/an hour/overnight? Would it help if I do an acetone bath for them first to loosen up the crud?

Yes, acetone first, rinse & dry the coin, then verdi care. I have soaked coins overnight in it (only because I forgot) but usually an hour or so per side is good, everybody has there own preference so I guess it's a learning thing.

I now only need 1922 "No D", 1914-D and 1909-S VDB


I'm the same way, except I do have a 1914D in G-06 I picked up under $100 a few years ago off ebay.

My whole dansco 1909-present consists of 1909-1929 VF-XF+, and 1930-present all UNC.


So far so good, just missing SVDB,14D, 22 no d, and then half a dozen others that need to be upgraded.

It's amazing how hard it is to find some coins in VF-XF+

Still on the lookout for a 1912 D, 1923 S, 1926 D, in VF+ and then 1932PD in UNC, and a 1933P in UNC.

I completely agree, the 1924-D is so rare and so hard to find a decent example.I also feel the 1926-S does not get enough respect either, but still not as tough as the 1924-D.
