My favorite local show is happening this weekend, and I'm of two minds about going, for the obvious reason that we can't discuss. :(
Not the Type I with its smaller diameter?
Potentially. Stopped by the pawn shop near my employer yesterday for the first time in several months. They had a bunch of 1g Karatbars, in...
The silver-composition nickel planchets were kinda prone to lamination problems, weren't they?
Any place where I can get it well below spot. As a result, I don't buy much, and don't buy very predictably.
That's... actually got an interesting Van Gogh vibe from what's left of the obverse.
When I first saw them, I thought briefly that they were kind of clever -- until I saw what they look like from the other side. :yack:
I never would've thought of it, and now I'll never be able to stop.

...but I'm pretty convinced that those premiums will be temporary. I started as a YN back when proof sets were $5, well out of my reach....
Ugh. Sounds like it's time to start planning an expedition to a show...?
It would be tricky, and probably pointless -- soaking the reverse in clean acetone for years would have no additional effect on it.
I slept through the PM and numismatic price swings of the 80s, 90s, and 00s. I could post plenty of amusing receipts for computer equipment, though...
I'd love to see them, but images from CoinTalk are trickling down to my machine at about 20 kilobytes per second, barely faster than dialup....
NO POLITI... oh, that's right, there's an exemption for recipe posts.
Nice palate cleanser. :)
I want to say it was exposed to enough heat to melt the zinc core, and when that happens, it deforms like a tiny water balloon. But in my...
I guess I'm obligated to post it in this thread, too, if only to break the ice on what constitutes "ugly": [IMG] [IMG]
