OMG ! Both of 'em !! On the same day !!!!! :eek: I expect an asteroid the size of Ohio to hit any second now :D
Well Dick is right in one way actually - the odds of getting caught by the sewer district are pretty much non-existant. Unless you're a...
What krispy said. But it is important that people realize that dipping a coin in acetone and dipping a coin in a commercial coin dip are two...
Everybody duck ! The sky is gonna start falling any second :D
Dick I worked with sewer districts on a daily basis for 30 years as a developer. Trust me, if they ever caught anynbody dumping acetone down a...

Every price guide there is tells you how they arrive at their prices. More than a few of them list only the very highest price ever realized for a...
Rarely, very rarely, do I ever talk in absolutes. I wasn't saying that was the only possible reason. merely that it was the most likely reason...
OK - but do you have any idea when the first coin tubes were invented ? I would guess that it was not until the 1950's.
