I see the same problem with the words blank and planchet. Even ANACS, which is supposed to be the go-to place for different error and variety...

Gotcha. Thanks so much, my friend.
Having someone damage it to do a test is all the proof I need that he is not being totally forthcoming, possibly even outright lying. As you said,...
add "immature" to my assessment of you
Ok, so it is more like a bath then
I know they are copper plated, but I was asking how they are plated. Are zinc planches dipped in copper liquid to plate them or is it done using...
Separate names with a comma.
