When I think of "pickle smell", I think of vinegar. Have you tried soaking with baking soda? I can't imagine the glass would retain an odor, but...
I remember you bringing this up in an earlier thread. I was speculating about nitric acid, but based on what I've read since, I'm wondering if it...
The thing is, I'm pretty sure eBay's current prohibition on copy coins (even marked ones) would give you a bulletproof Buyer Protection case --...
Or, better yet, slip in a cheap gold-plated copy of one -- then pepper the listing with "as is", "no returns", "seller will be leaving for Tahiti...
Certainly not for SLQs. But the 1916 issue has pickup points that you can distinguish long after the date is gone, so there's never any need to...
Is that vinegar and peroxide? I'm curious whether you'll see any staining on the "stainless" steel under the coin. Iron, and most of the other...

Pressure changes accelerate gas exchanges, but diffusion happens even in perfectly still air. You don't need air flow to get unwanted gases into a...
I haven't, and haven't seen the product of a successful treatment. I also can't envision a mechanism for peroxide and acetic acid to attack...
1980 and 2011 say you might have to wait quite a long time.
A capsule will slow things down. Putting it in a zip-lock will slow things down further. Putting some sacrificial active metal (freshly scraped...
Aw, man, I thought for a minute you meant the eBay Report button worked in Europe! I was all ready to fire up my proxy... :rolleyes:
You've already mentioned "no stars", which is the foolproof way to spot even the most worn Type 1 quarters (1916 and early 1917). It also sounds...
We've gone back and forth over the years about whether there was ever a product that would successfully restore dates on silver. Some people claim...
Yes, the Mandarin word for "four" sounds very much like the word for "death". Some buildings in China skip over the fourth floor, like buildings...
Separate names with a comma.
