12 Mercs at full weight is 30 grams. One troy ounce is 31.1 grams. One avoirdupois ounce is 28.35 grams. 12 non-slick Mercs will make an...
Even if it's 8 avoirdupois ounces of war nickels, that's still not a bad price for 45 or so war nickels. I generally won't pay more than $1 each,...
But if your bid is equal to or higher than the reserve, eBay will bump the current bid up to the reserve, right? Suppose the current bid is one...
Looks a lot thicker than usual, and looks cast. Or maybe it's platinum. :)
My guess would be that there was a problem with the servers, causing old sessions not to time out, or maybe an attempted attack. But it might just...
I got a few in a mixed lot a couple of years ago. One was gold-plated; all claim to be .999 silver, and I believe they're 1/10 ounce, but I'm not...

Yeah, I haven't had time today to look into this story, just what I heard on NPR on the drive to work. So, to protect the banks, they decide to...
You're absolutely right. USM is nice, but it's really not relevant for your purpose. I have the third lens you listed, and I'm extremely happy...
No, I'm saying that I don't think UV light helps to show toning. I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine how it would work. For fingerprints,...
I'm pretty sure that actual UV has nothing to do with bringing out toning color. As far as I know, none of the simple metal salts responsible for...
