Finding an IHC in circulation is rare enough. Finding an XF/AU details example? Priceless!
It eventually loses strength. Also, it gets loaded up with nickel acetate, which is somewhat toxic; flush it down the toilet so it gets diluted....
Nah, yours was shorter, and shorter is better. It's just that "short" doesn't come naturally to me. :rolleyes:
You've got it exactly right. The serial numbers are dark against a lighter background. The second 0 has a lighter background inside and darker...
I think that's actually more of a tic than a hobby. ;)
This never occurred to me. I'm not sure that reverse design is meant to be a crescent moon, but now I'll have a hard time seeing it as anything else!
Here's a page seeming to indicate that the UHRs were 4mm thick. The 2009 issue was also 4mm thick.
There's a time element, too, though. If I put up a BIN/BO and someone offers me 90% of my asking price immediately, I might not accept the offer,...
"MCMMVII"? Mr. Garrett really needs an editor. Or a better one.
In general, I find that it's the other way around -- finding and copy/paste a result on the Web from a trusted source in seconds, versus minutes...
I found it wasn't necessary. Throwing in salt will accelerate things, too, but makes it a lot easier to trash the coins. I prefer the slow action...
I'm further behind. Need to install the basement itself first. :rolleyes:
As we're accustomed to ours. Imagine future students, imagining us today, breathing a noxious mix of exhaust fumes, and plasticizers, and scented...
There have been more than a few threads here about date restoration. Something about the striking process for nickels makes it work really well on...
It's a compelling thought. Smell is such a powerful prompt, and we still can't properly record or replay them, much less Google-search on them....
Same one I use. Try the mirror trick for alignment and stop it down to F/11. You'll probably also want to investigate "mirror lockup", and use...
You're just reminding me how much I miss @Electron John and his images...
Almost certainly "microns", thousandths of a millimeter -- although 5.1mm seems really deep, even on a large medal?
Yep. There are some EOS lenses ("EF-S") that will only work on the small-sensor cameras like the Rebel series; others will work on both crop and...
Sorta. A pinhole camera is like stopping your lens way down, like to f/100 or higher. The narrower the aperture, the less effect the lens has;...
Separate names with a comma.
