The thread below will give links to tax token organizations. Lots of info there. Cal...
Hmm. The shot doesn't look like stainless, so it should rust. But maybe the frequent agitation removes rust as fast as it forms. Cal
Noticed in the video they were using shot, probably of lead, as an abrasive to clean the pennies. Seems weird. Wonder if they put a prop 65...
You need a few coins if you want to stay there. Cheapest rooms are about $500 per night. Cal
I've heard that a special Britannia proof set will be announced in July. Maybe they'll have some at the Denver show. Cal
Plane tickets from the west coast are still reasonable. There is now light rail service from the Denver airport to downtown ($9 fare). There's...

We need think about aqueous solutions and suspensions too. Things like coffee, cola, milk, honey, jelly, etc. ... yes, even beer. Good chance...
Thank you very much. Nice to know Leroy himself has something to offer on the topic. Hurrah for VAMmers! Cal
I'm quite familiar with metric and nonsensical units and their conversion. I was rounding and don't think it would make any difference to a diver...
Doing a believable theoretical calculation is probably not possible. The properties of liquids and metals when impacted rapidly with huge force,...
Seems speed of the coining press would be a factor. Water can be pretty resistant to flowing if hit suddenly. Try diving into water from 6 feet...
Ask and ye shall receive. Apology for graininess of pics, but they're old. First pic is the obverse. Second pic is the reverse, which is...
Separate names with a comma.
