As BadThad pointed out earlier, there's a difference between cleaning and conserving (at least in my opinion). If a coin has an active, corrosive...
Question to silver half vets: If I've got roughly 10 40% halves and 5 90%'ers, what can I expect to get at a coin show next saturday (in terms of...
I'm interested in doing this for some of my war nickels (that series is PLAGUED by some of the cruddiest, nastiest 'toning'/gunkage as many of you...
Fatima, I'm sorry but you are just blatantly wrong. You do not need a justification for choosing apples in that case, I'm not sure I know what you...
That's not necessarily true. That $145.00 is an opportunity cost, and most often is not the same as an accounting cost. As far as I'm concerned, a...

Not entirely fair; I signed up for this site unaware that argumentative Hobos traipsed these forums! LOL On Topic: I might consider calling up...
You have made it clear where my misconception arose; when you said "as this gets smaller, that gets bigger" I thought you were implicitly...
I'm not so sure you understand what I said. Affixing "potential" to your estimation that the "lower your bill the greater the penalty" does not in...
Dude I used to read those in elementary school! I knew it was oddly familiar! Lol@ nostalgia
Naturally, the total "penalty" is some value between $0.00 and $0.99 ; therefore using a percentage relative to the total bill is extremely...
On a related note, I just ordered a "Cheese & Charcuterie" with 5 selections and gave the restaurant an extra 98 cents ;)
I agree with much of what you said, as do others that have posted in this thread previously. One of the original questions posed in the OP was...
