As long as it's only on coins that are already ruined, because it will ruin them further. In this context, lemon juice and vinegar serve the...
Or you could, you know, put some double-sided tape on the magnet. Shouldn't we be spending less time figuring out how new posters might be trying...
Trouble-maker. And I mean that in the very best way.
Those fractionals can carry a premium on buyback, too. But there's generally a fixed component to transaction cost, so the smaller the amount...
I'll defer to your actual experience, but I'd expect a pressed Zincoln to foam up like a rabid dog if you dipped it in lemon juice and salt....
Religious discussion, reported. ;)

Gotta have that two-letter abbreviation, I guess, and gotta distinguish it from regular proof (PR) and regular reverse proof (RP). Are the...
No, I'd just like it if you'd make good on your debt to @Garlicus, instead of taking the coward's path of avoiding the issue. I don't have any...
I'd leave out the salt. Even though some of them will be chased to the other electrode, chloride ions are never great news for copper. Plus,...
