I'm not sure what to think about this statement. If there's non-coin material on the coin, it's "foreign material", whether it got stuck there in...
No, now it's too narrow! ;) "Oops I splashed beer on my coin, I'll rinse it off" -- that's cleaning, but there was no chemically induced change....

Yes, strange, considering it's such a condition rarity...!
Someone needs to speak to them about their data validation. We had a talk about data quality at a former employer. In a mass of data about corn...
And that was exactly the point I was trying to make, perhaps with a bit too much snark. I don't always agree with the way things go here, but in...
