It may take a while for knowledgeable people to hit the thread. It will help to provide photos of both sides of the coin, and of the edge if you...
What? I don't see any breaks in the band separation... :rolleyes:
Sure looks like one. Don't know if it could be a plating defect instead -- is this a post-1982 coin?
Makes sense. Not foolproof, but errors would be rare. When I took a course on computer security (decades ago), one of the topics was using...
I'm curious -- how does anyone go about tracking a particular buyer on eBay, now that buyer IDs are anonymized? Sellers see de-anonymized...

No, you're just saying that we're all wrong, and then pretending to laugh dismissively at us. Except that instead of dismissing us, you keep...
"High and low resistivity pressure"? Word salad. What must overcome its... whatever that was... to cause damage? "Appeal to authority" is a...
The way you use "scientific" here doesn't give me a lot of confidence that you understand the term. What measure did your cousin use to assess...
