I'll say this for sorting cents instead of practicing drums: it's a lot easier on bystanders.
Let's see, $20 is 2000 cents, an hour is 3600 seconds... that's pretty close to "I'll let you keep the cents you check". I think I'm in the same...
What, you want longer posts from me? ;)
Yep. I've got a few square inches of platinum foil that I expect to use someday for electrodes, but making it into a little tray is also tempting....
That would depend a lot on how the metal had been treated. If it was annealed "dead soft", the bell would just go "thunk", and then you'd have a...
And they're more than happy to take soon-to-be-worthless birdcage-liner fiat bucks in exchange for it. Kinda makes you go "hmm"...
They had to use heroic measures to draw platinum out finer than gold (coat it with silver, then draw, then etch away the silver). It looks like...
Why, oh why, couldn't they have produced a standard uncirculated finish that looks like an original Peace dollar?
I haven't yet found an India Pale Ale strong enough to dissolve Sharpie marks, but I won't give up the search.

You both must really hate the five-ounce silver ATB rounds, clearly marked QUARTER DOLLAR on the obverse...
Wow, I'd completely convinced myself that was a dig into the surface between T and S. But I still don't know jack about grading classic proofs, so...
Gorgeous cameo obverse, but given the reverse scratch (that is on the coin, not the holder, right?), the deep dig between T and S, and what looks...
As it says on the label, that eagle is pretty fly -- but I can't hazard a guess on its beanability.
And certainly not worthy of a claim against their guarantee. :rolleyes:
Yeah, I'm sure she's great, and I'm sure her brothers are too -- but not great enough to get me to switch teams. :rolleyes:
So, um, wasn't one of the original points of third-party grading to facilitate sight-unseen trade in coins? And how exactly does the TPG's...
In Search Of... ... ancient baseball equipment?
I think the magnetism is less interesting than the fact that it's invisible. ;) Did you mean to attach a photo?
