It would cost me a lot more than $2100 to buy it all, I think. I wouldn't be able to spot all those varieties myself, so I'd have to pay someone...
And the "acid free" part is scientifically accurate. The potassium hydroxide makes it a strong base. Problem is, aluminum and zinc are attacked by...
Not dichloromethane (methylene chloride) or other halogenated solvents, please. There are warnings against using it on alloys of aluminum,...
And raw problem coins often get surprisingly close to their problem-free price on eBay. Some people say that reflects the ignorance of eBay...
As somebody who hasn't run the experiment myself... it's time for various bits of aluminum around my house to start getting nervous. Also time for...
If I saw that happen, I'd be very concerned that my acetone was contaminated, most likely with something acidic. I just can't see a chemical path...

Let me guess -- the coin is made of zinc or aluminum? MS70 contains a strong base (potassium hydroxide). I'd expect it to gobble those metals...
I'm not seeing how this could happen, and some quick Googling doesn't turn up anything relevant. Any links?
And here I thought it was the guitar that got me the girl. Huh.
I don't think plain English is quite up to the task here. Silver is "brighter" than nickel by a long shot, but adding 10% nickel to gold turns it...
Nice pieces! I'm not in touch with the brick-and-mortar market, but it looks to me like each one of these could get at least $200 on eBay, even...
I'm reminded of a quote from a coin-magazine article I read when I was a little kid: "Someone spent that?"
If you spin a story about doing something really stupid in your very first post ever on a site, there's some risk that forum readers, who've never...
Well, their head weather guy is from Lancaster. Gotta be able to relate to all those Relocated Yankees in the heart of the viewing area...
I'm afraid you're on the wrong side of history, at least history for the rest of this financial quarter, which is the furthest ahead any of these...
And that will be one more thing for your estate to deal with, along with the lawsuits from the family of whatever other driver is unlucky enough...
Yup. If it were on the right network, it would be click-bait for GOLD, not worthless fiat toilet-paper. :rolleyes:
I'm seriously biting back trigonometry puns here, but only because none of them are very good.
...but there's no need to discuss that. ;)
