You... you don't actually think those reserve dollars are all coins and paper money, do you? Total paper money in circulation amounts to...
Huh. I can't remember the last time I saw a pump that wasn't fully electronic.
Wait, what kind of dealer are we talking about again?
Power outages. Yeah. I'm pretty sure we've already reached the point of "no power? can't shop". At least in a grocery store or big-box retailer,...
Like zinc? Not really. Copper will corrode if it encounters the wrong stuff, but it doesn't keep eating itself the way zinc-under-copper does....
Maybe someday. I sure like the looks of that one...
I know standards must be different for early copper, but with corrosion that deep, I don't see how it could grade cleanly. Not my field, though;...
Just remember, rarities are rarities because they're rare. Being buried for decades doesn't make it any more likely to be a rarity -- it just...
You don't know the half of it. More importantly, though, it would make it harder for me to admire them. I like them right where they are.
Then we have different definitions of "toning". Acetone will remove many foreign materials from a coin's surface, but it won't do anything to the...
Show-off. I still just use the bowl.
As @RonSanderson said, that would be a fire and explosion hazard, at least if there's a lid on the container. If there's no lid, it'll evaporate...
That would knock out the high points on the devices, not the parts closest to the field.

I'm getting "Page not found"...? Edit: apparently you edited out the link while I was hitting "Reply"!
I was about to say "I've got at least one 1913 Buffalo nickel that I'd be happy to let go for half that price", but then I realized that I don't...
Are there reports of tungsten-cored fakes for coins this small? Since you can't strike a design into tungsten (it'll flatten your dies), you've...
I don't have a great deal of faith in those machines, but I'm guessing they'd catch most non-gold fakes of coins like the OP's.
And now I've learned a new term. Wikipedia says it fluoresces under UV. Great, now not only do I have to look at crappy Zincolns again, I have to...
Can't make out enough from that photo to risk anything more than melt on any of it. "Uncirculated" Mercury short sets can contain anything from...
Separate names with a comma.
