Zinc is so soft that I'd think a toothbrush would just finish them off. :( Zinc is a really reactive metal. Unlike silver or copper, it reacts...

It's crazy how many YouPotatoes are advising people to drink bleach! YouTube: the perfect embodiment of Asimov's "cult of ignorance", where "my...
This is relevant to my interest, but I'm not sure I'll be able to make the live stream. Will it be available for later viewing? Thanks for...

Read the rules. We're not allowed to give directions to there.
It's the kind of problem that I like to dig into instead of finishing the work I'm supposed to do. :rolleyes: I'll try to come back to it if I get...
Larry showed up at the big Raleigh show a couple of years ago, with the most impressive array of problem coins I've ever seen (in SEGS detail...
At least they're super-common dates. I once had a proof Trade Dollar that had been holed and engraved for use as a pendant.
