I'm inclined toward "splashed with something corrosive", but it's a bit hard to tell from a photo of a screen showing a photo of a coin......
Yep, it was more costly, and also novel. Metal utensils, almost as shiny as silver -- but light as a feather. Almost magical. At least until you...
So do I -- just not on me. :rolleyes: Super-nice! Maybe one day I'll own a bust dollar, but likely not this early nor this nice.
Or, for that matter, want change for it? ;)
I assume if I get my choice of labware, I also get my choice of experiments. Molten lye? Fluorine? NO THANKS. :eek:
I got a rock tumbler for Christmas one year when I was very young. I was super-excited about it until I read the instructions, which said you were...
Given my choice for labware, though, I'd pick platinum every time. It just doesn't STAY as pretty or malleable as gold. Why do people flock to...
I've been meaning to try my ultrasonic cleaner on some crusted-up coins. I plan to use a nylon net to suspend them, instead of putting them in the...
There are lots of people who know how to sell on eBay or FB, but wouldn't know how to find a scrapper. They may have gone to a "WE BUY GOLD"...
Ed! Sadly, I believe he perished in a tragic collision between his business jet and his Lamborghini. I'd provide links, but it looks like CT has...
I can't even tell which face I'm seeing in that first photo. I can only guess that it's copper, as a Zincoln that rotten would have crumbled when...
For me at least, roll- or lot-searching is all about the occasional lucky find. If you want the lab rat to keep mashing that button until it's...
Are the counterfeits showing these hollow areas cast, or struck?
Huh. I thought I remembered Doug saying that halogen light was the gold standard for examining coins. Fluorescent lamps produce diffused light,...
All right, THAT one I can respect. Wow! Edit: although it does remind me of the famous rhyme ending "...I'm just glad that cows don't fly!"
Yeah, I self-moderated probably half a dozen replies before finding one I was willing to post. :rolleyes:
I feel seen. ;) [IMG]
Nice twist! I like it a lot. Now, let me see if I can dredge up those posts where I was talking wistfully about Stellas... :D
Hey, they're pouring all their resources into improving their processes, not WASTING them on frivolous nice-to-haves like, um, people to...
I'd love to have a $500 or $1000 note -- heck, I'd love to have a $5000 or $10000. Just not enough to pay what they're worth. But I can still...
Separate names with a comma.
