As the resuscitator noted with the introductory "Zooming ahead to 2024". ;)
The other thread was talking about peracetic acid (white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide). I haven't tried it yet myself.
So what did they do with the contents? I've heard people say that bank workers were instructed to throw away anything that wasn't credited as...
"should've done". And "poll". ;)
A friend of ours long ago had a parrot who was toilet-trained. He'd have the bird perched on his forearm, hold it over a trash can, say "Go...
I'm not aware of any markers that would let you distinguish a dateless 1921 half, but I'm really really far from an expert on the design. If I...
Struck through eagle dropping on DOLLARS?
I'll still happily pay $30 for a coin that's worth $90 now. But instead of paying $30 for a coin (or a pile of them) that might be worth $90 at...
I wonder. It makes me nervous to consciously bet against someone having a new idea. And then there's the whole "asteroid mining" thing, although...
I see lots of luster, but I can't tell whether the duller areas on the hair and wing are wear or just not fully struck. AU63? :rolleyes:

Based on my experience at today's local show, margins are compressing, and buy prices from dealers are lagging spot. I just checked...
So, yeah, I had to go and look up Cartier 18K frames. Why would you want to have glasses made from a heavier metal instead of a lighter one? I...
Eh, my Apple stock begs to differ. (My Nortel stock, not so much. :rolleyes:)
Right there with you. I carried a 1994 ASE, harshly cleaned, as a pocket piece for more than five years. I sometimes consciously rubbed it against...
...but not today, so no sale. :( My go-to dealer wasn't there; in fact, I haven't seen him at a show in quite a while. I think he's moved on to...
Yeah, having verified the weight and composition, I think I'd be compelled to go back and treat her a bit better. I know sterling trades at a...
I have the impression that coin gold, alloyed with copper, is a lot harder than pure gold. But I'm having trouble finding actual...
Separate names with a comma.
