Does anyone know if Longacre doubling occurs on 3 cent nickels? I feel like this looks like it, but I'm not sure. EDIT: Missed CBD's comment. I...
Diffusing light is pretty simple. You don't even need a ping pong ball. A tissue or piece of paper will do. Remember that the farther away you...

Reddit always has some fun stuff. I read that story, too. Yep, he didn't even know that nearly all of the coins were 90% silver. I heard numbers...
