Thanks to the mod team for being quick on the draw this afternoon. Ugh.
If I tried to limit my collection to 20 coins per box, it would take up a LOT more space. Now, maybe if I adopt the rule "no more than 20...
Just remember the flip side to that -- when you (OK, your heirs) go to sell, are you going to be considered a "reputable source"? The folks...
Okay, okay, I'll spend 10 minutes watching the video. I've seen listings on That Overseas Website for "AGE" fakes that are a thick layer of gold,...
He's hardly empty-handed; he still has the $12M. ;) And I think empty hands are preferable to hands holding an item of questionable provenance and...
I don't suppose you know of a spot with the opposite arrangement? Asking for a friend... ;)
We don't have a lot of coal-burning trains out there still, do we? ;) The way I understood it, nearly all diesel locomotives are electric anyhow...
I would assume that "stained" refers to a foreign substance adhered or adsorbed onto the coin. "Toned" refers to a layer of oxide or sulfide...
I really, really wouldn't do a TAP-water rinse on steel cents, especially not if your water's treated with chlorine. Ordinarily a distilled-water...
I can believe that.
I'm not a fan of a lot of modern coin designs, but I really, really like this one.
I'd say "with clean acetone". I'd keep even distilled water away from steel cents that have already started to rust. But, to be honest, I know...
The stars are the easiest tell. I imagine you could distinguish the varieties by touch based on those. If the coin were worn enough that you...
The only way that would happen is if the eventual real room-temperature superconductor needs one or the other (technically very unlikely). Or, of...
I'd like to know where anyone's seeing wear on that coin, because I'm sure not seeing it on the shield, knee, head, or eagle. I won't hazard a...
I learned that lesson with the first Apple stock I bought -- sold it a year or so later, doubled my money. Bought 50 shares for $1020 in 2001,...
It's really pretty easy to find out. My Prius is six years old, and its battery is holding up just fine. If it does fail, there are multiple...
A platinum core wouldn't yield nearly as much profit as a tungsten core. There are tungsten-core fake AGEs out there, and a gold bar would be even...
Oh, platinum and palladium are massively useful in the chemical industry (including pharma). Even more so when their price isn't driven sky-high...
Right, and battery and power-management technology has barely changed at all during that time. :rolleyes: I agree. Plus he's not as ruthless as...
Separate names with a comma.
