My wife had some coins that were dirty, greasy, grimy, etc. Nothing special, just modern junk. She soaked them in vinegar for a day before I knew what she was doing. After two days she removed them and rinsed them off. She laid them out to dry few a couple more days. Yesterday she grabbed them but I got these photos first. One of the Dimes took on a small rainbow after all was said and done. She said they look and feel better but now she's complaining that they smell like vinegar. All I could do was laugh. No reverse photos as the coins were stuck to the paper towel.
Nice results for some common change she probably didn't want to touch otherwise. The smell, well that's another story. And I do mean another story..... I'm going back to probably 1988. Dad decided to remove some stubborn wallpaper off the dining room walls. He read somewhere that a mixture of vinegar and water would do the trick. So into a bucket he mixes it with a 50/50 ratio. Long story short. I go to visit one day, a week or so after he performed the wallpaper surgery, and upon walking into their home the first thing that hit me, like a 2x4 to the head, was the smell of vinegar. I asked why the house smelled like salad dressing was spilled all over? My mom explained what dad did while dad sheepishly sat across the room. It probably took two months for that smell to dissipate. At least you can spend those 'vinegared' coins
That is a total dad story. Made me laugh my kazoo off..... Not long ago I had an air handling unit in the attic develop a leak which left a yellow stain on the living room ceiling. Simple enough, one can of Kilz and a stepladder did the trick..... Except that I didn’t cover the wife’s furniture or hardwood floor below. Took me an entire weekend of elbow grease to get rid of that with Goof-Off..... Which is what my living room furniture smelled like for six months.
It's not possible for the first zero to be smaller The date is added to the master hub. The master hub is used to make master dies, which makes working hubs, which are used to make working dies. If the 1st 0 is smaller on the OP coin, it would have to be smaller on all 2006 dimes. I think what your seeing is an artifact of the lighting in the pic. Hope this helps
Not at first. But I do believe she got some morbid sort of pleasure watching me scrub the living room for two days.
Help me Steve. I'm definitely drawing a total brain fart here. Your talking about Flo? Name your price? I am trying, but I just don't get the joke Wouldn't be the first time, and guaranteed won't be the last time.
It's their (newest?) skit on training new homeowners how not to be like their parents...it's hilarious! (guess what...the waiter doesn't need to know your name! ; do we really need a sign for this? ; etc.) Nothing to do with Flo or Jamie!
That makes sense. I disconnected from the boob tube last June. I haven't seen any network television since then, including commercials. Thanks for the clarification.
