If it's missing both clad layers, it's a big deal; seeing that it's thin helps to suggest that, and getting an accurate weight will help as well....
That's the most tabloid-worthy title I've seen here in a while. What they're actually doing is increasing the ceiling on Final Value Fees from...
So, if we've already got lowball slabbed sets drawing lots of attention at big national coin shows... How long will it be before someone starts a...
I wonder if this thread will ever be released in a version with English subtitles?
I'm not losing any sleep over that clause. I think it's just covering them against some technical issues. It's actually quite hard to manage...
Well, there are certainly some nice examples of classic Seated coins here, but I guess I must be the only one with a substantial collection of...
Maybe. But I can imagine that one of the "impurities" involved is just plain old oxygen dissolved in the acetone or adsorbed on the metal. That's...
...and I guess I'm back to "acetone on copper probably isn't a good idea". :) I sure wish, though, that the citation could be more specific about...
Found it: RARE Three (3) 1923-S Buffalo Nickel 5 Cent ~ U.S. Coin Lot !! 5c Semi key Dates Looks like nobody bit, not even at the $9.95 starting...
I thought of one other exception -- higher-end restaurants that put single-digit prices on their menus. In that example, I think they're going for...
I'm pretty sure that even the most rabid libertarian/radical-capitalist thinkers agree that "force and fraud" are big no-nos, and even justify...
Ended (already) "because the item is no longer available". Kudos to you for calling it out, and to the seller for doing the responsible thing and...
As I said, "you'll find some disagreement here". :) It may be that some acetone has impurities that will attack aluminum. Chemical engineers,...
Never going to happen. For evidence, look at any gas station's posted prices. It's been many decades since 1/10 cent was a significant fraction of...
I'm personally in the "acetone is fine" camp, but I don't have a lot of experience to back it up, so you probably shouldn't listen to me. Xylene...
You'll find some disagreement here about whether acetone can harm copper coins -- some people think it can, some think it can't. You'll also find...
That shield nickel looks off to me, but I'm not very familiar with the series. I don't like the way the denticles disappear around a big part of...
One quibble: I'm pretty sure vinegar eats the nickel faster than the copper. Nickel is much more reactive than copper; it'll displace hydrogen...
Sure. It's been discussed for years, maybe decades. I think it'll be discontinued eventually; the only question in my mind is whether it'll go...
Yep, the Internet is a great source for accurate and useful information -- and for wool. ;)
