Here's a citation for methylene chloride attacking copper and nickel when water is present (which it usually is unless you take special...
...because you'd be spending more in electricity than you were earning in coin, never mind the cost of the equipment?
That color is incredibly unnatural-looking. I'd hope that removing the residue would change the color. Why would you think acetone would be more...
Interesting! I just expected "questionable color". Wonder what the residue is? I'd try acetone as well, or maybe xylene.
Don't you suppose those are just die polishing lines?
I don't know, but if it did slab with that coloring, I expect some lively discussion.
Wake up, Kurt, you just illustrated "circular argument". ;) As I've read, silver dollars were always unpopular in most of the country -- people...
Really? Well, I'm glad you got better!
And for the people who realize that CoinStars reject silver, perhaps a few nickel 2x2s labeled "1885 AU+++", "1912-S XF", "1937-D 3-leg"... and...

Doin' my best to avoid. Exercising, eating as carefully as I can stand, BP/LDL/sugar all good, not dealing with politicians or The General Public...
Yep, that's why we pay the big premiums for AGEs. :rolleyes:
You know, I think there could be a market for something like a tiny hand-held vise that would let you slowly tighten a pair of wedges against...
Don't I remember some discussion here a few years ago about that very topic (a "transitional variety" of the half with the new obverse and the old...
And, later, dentistry. :rolleyes:
As for the OP's question, I have no idea if those bars look legit, but I wouldn't buy silver of any form at 4x melt value unless I could be darn...
Go straight to gamma. Cobalt-60 photons will go through any coin, although a Yap stone might leave them a bit peaked. Plus your source gets you...
I'm still deeply, deeply skeptical of Sigma's claims. I have no doubt they can tell a 90% Franklin or Morgan from a silver-plated steel copy. I'm...
