Search for acetone, and you'll find lots of threads and posts. It's safe for all metal coins. It will dissolve some plastics and is very...
Although blocking or not answering calls from numbers you don't recognize can help, there are downsides. You may miss calls that are from numbers...
Although it's good to register on the "do not call" list, it won't stop all telemarketers. The reason is a big flaw in the caller-ID system,...
Just what's needed to get those hot AT coins off the BBQ. Cal
Unless your son has expressed an interest in ASEs, you might consider alternatives with a bit more history. You can buy certified mint state...
Um... Maybe I'll get a 1958 proof Lincoln cent and try it first. ;) Cal
The silver plating was probably an attempt to make the pattern coins struck in copper look like the "regular" proof coins, which were struck in...
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, click your heels and say, "I'm going to regress, I'm going to regress, I'm going to regress." :inpain: Cal
Can't post link because of password protection, but did PM you pertinent info. Cal
So, this Judd-1732 trade dollar (see link) was struck in copper, and then was silver-plated in the early 20th century. PCGS still saw fit to slab...

Political will probably won't be there to eliminate the cent until price of zinc makes it profitable to melt them. It will happen eventually;...
Curious as to why the sticker came off the slab, but (apparently) the slab remained on the coin. Cal
If a coin comes into CAC, they scan the bar code, find it's been seen before and rejected, then what? Do they actually have their graders look at...
I find registered mail is especially prone to disappearing from the radar for days. I think because it has to be signed for at each hand-off, the...
As a side question, how many degrees of rotation are allowed by TPGs before they stick an error label on the slab? I've owned some two cent...
Must be the rare '74 aluminum Ike pattern. :) Cal
Saw this pattern on Collector's Corner. Guess the seller had it crossed from NGC to PCGS. See link:...
It was a good article. I think there was a little too much emphasis collectors being either "64s" or the "11s". There are a lot of...
Very interesting historical account. I find it especially interesting that letter (and presumably numeral) punches were imported from outside the...
Separate names with a comma.
