There are large operations in China turning out counterfeits of collectible US coins. They produce quite a lot of "silver dollars" (usually not...
Ugh. I remember screaming after dropping a soda can on my foot as a teen -- and a tube of Morgans weighs a good bit more, and has a sharper edge....
:eek: I could spend the rest of my life doing that. Heck, I spent a month or two digging and chopping through thick roots in my front yard just...
Quite a few of us did. :)
Sort of. Zinc is okay in pure water, by itself. But add a bit of salt or something to make the water conductive, and put the zinc in contact with...
[ATTACH] (I kid; I know there's a good chance BTC could go back to five figures, maybe six. No reason, but a good chance. Just not good enough...

Yeah, and I bought some platinum when it crossed to become cheaper than gold for the first time in years, figuring I'd hold it until the...
Hmm. How many of the in-original-packaging dollars are "normal"? If it's only a few, then we have a New Champion Rarity! PCGS Cheerios Dollar...
Yeah, unless you're driving it with a cyclotron, I don't think an XRF meter is going to pick up on a tungsten core under a few hundred microns of...
Pretty sure that all such scrap containing precious metals gets audited and tracked carefully. It's one thing to smuggle out a few cents' worth of...
Separate names with a comma.
