I didn't want to say anything until I whupped out my ANA Grading Standards. I would grade it XF45 obverse, AU50 reverse. That said, it's...
I've never known EvaDry to require more than 6 hours. Plug 'em in before leaving for work or before hitting the pillow. Painless. No need to fire...
Yep. EvaDry makes both types - compressor style with a reservoir for condensate (which stay plugged in all the time) and silica gel (which are...
EvaDry units can be handled with bare hands during and immediately after recharging. They are UL rated. No worries. No safety hazard. I do 'em all...

A Sioux nation band named "Huncpapa" (or "Hunkpapa") was the group General Custer should have avoided.
My first foreign coins were many, many years ago. Dad was a department head at a university and hired a professor from India. I'll never forget...
While the OP looks VF30 as others have said, I bet it's very unusual to find one of these that worn.
First off, I'm glad it worked out well. More importantly, your signature is the funniest geek humor I've seen in awhile ! Why do engineers get...

I love Draped Bust silver. The half dollars are great values; they're the highest mintage and least expensive of the DB silver. They make great...
