AW for short.
Coke is acidic. It removes tarnish from metal surfaces, along with some of the metal. It will leave the coin shinier, but ruin it for collectors....
Oh, I was never under the illusion that you did. Reread what you just said. You're deftly classifying all those characteristics as "personal...
...and good luck getting Sigma, or any large distributor, to sell to an individual. That went out in the 1970s, if not earlier. Of course, if you...
I'm no expert, particularly on Morgans, but these were easy. They looked like they came off oddly-finished dies. But those stars were wrong -- not...
Uh-huh. And those of us with tics, or conditions that make it hard to manage appropriate eye contact, or dreadlocks, can just take our chances...
Decades nestled against sulfurous paper. What could be more natural? :rolleyes:
...actually, Morgans, close to a dozen of them. All priced at the "shiny silver dollar" price point of $40; normal Morgan and Peace dollars are...

My one and only bottle of glacial acetic acid was Kodak-brand. I wouldn't have it in the house now, out of consideration for my daughter, who...

Welp, my neighborhood Ace can order toluene for me -- $19.99 a gallon. But I have to buy a case (four gallons). But I get a 10% case discount....
So, these are seller photos, then? It looks for all the world like someone did a rectangular selection of the date from another image and pasted...
What does the machine read for a handful of other post-1982 cents? I'm not surprised that it would read high on copper, with a thin but dense...
After a bit more reading (but not nearly enough to start selling), it's looking like you can deduct any VAT you already paid on the item you're...
Separate names with a comma.
