So you bid at $30 shipped in the auction, then you went looking for a BIN? If you're asking why items go higher in auctions than in BIN, I think...
Maybe more people are thinking that silver has found its bottom and it's time to buy. That, and a lot of people are bad at math.
I think part of what I do is looking for things that would escape the notice of "typical" searchers. Any "coin-finder" script that grew into wide...
I had to look three times to convince myself that there wasn't a second p there...
You're on the right track. EMF is electromotive force, but that's just "volts". The specific concepts for metal replacement are: Single...

Well, I won't be setting up that regularly scheduled delivery for you to authenticate all of my copper 1943 cents, then. ;)
Why would you scrape, running that one-in-several-million chance of damaging a valuable find, when you could just use a magnet?
