Yup, it would. And what it will tell you is that this - - isn't true. The total reflective area is decreased when the small and consistent flow...
Absolutely. Learning how to correctly identify harshly/improperly cleaned coins, in all their forms, is one of the most difficult things there is...
Works for me, but do as I suggested in my first post - look at it. Just doing that may answer your question.
And that was my point, there is no single definition, which is what you were proposing with your personal definition. But there is a very distinct...
While I understand the intent of your challenge, the limitations you have placed upon it, as quoted above, make it, well, pretty hard if not...
