Do you mean these? [ATTACH] To my (extremely non-expert) eyes, the obverse and reverse look like two different coins. On the reverse, the rim...
That kind of "dumb" mistake is still pretty common, though, isn't it? I mean, we pay more attention to the fakes that are more deceptive, but...
I've found proofs in circulation, and I've found silver in circulation, but I don't think I've yet found a silver proof in circulation. Congrats!...
So, have you seen any machines that actually sort out silver for separate handling? I think most current machines reject it, but there have been...
Aw, man. Now I'm once again mourning the quarter-bottle of reagent-grade nitric acid that I flushed down the drain when packing up my chem stuff...
What he (actually they) said. You don't want something like nail polish remover that has additives, but you don't need spectroscopy-grade reagent...

Feel free to start a thread whenever you find something interesting, of course, but instead of asking others to post their finds here, it's...
I was gonna say -- do it in someone else's microwave. Someone you don't plan to visit again. It might not ruin the microwave, but it'll certainly...
I hope you took bathroom breaks. :eek:
It was different when each cent you set aside represented a piece of candy you wouldn't get. Pennies in general just aren't as significant now.
That font on the roll... I think of that as a 1970s font, maybe 1960s. (This is based on an extensive collection of old SF paperbacks that I...
I'm inclined to agree, but that one's so worn that it could be a dateless Type 3. I think I see a D mint mark.
It sucks, but nearly everybody prefers it to the alternative...
And that takes it from "nice surprise" to "bloody miracle", IMHO...
Separate names with a comma.
