Not always. Ten years or so ago I was doing quite well picking eBay lots that weren't intentionally assembled as you describe - but they were a...
(I swear I only tapped Post once...)
Makes me think of all the old Whitman albums with spots for 1965-D. Anybody got a cent album with pre-printed slots for 2026 or beyond?
The 2025s here are already going the way of all Zincolns. This one's tarnishing and has a boil, erm, plating blister in the right obverse...
Where the heck are you getting these? No, don't answer, just keep grabbing all you can!
Here's one of his posts with the actual formula (35g thiourea, 35g citric acid, 1 liter distilled water -- I'll start with a smaller batch):...
Yep. I actually bought the chemicals to try it, but they're still just sitting on my shelf rolling their eyes at me.
Oh, that's a shocker. ;)
Dip is generally an acid combined with thiourea. Water is better for dislodging those than acetone would be. If the coin starts to discolor after...

Yes - and they also know how much they shell out in fees on credit or debit transactions. I don't think this is the intent, but I wonder how many...
In contrast, my mother was completely unsuspecting. At first.
He probably thinks it'll be worth more with a fingerprint to prove a Famous Person once held it. :rolleyes:
It's reminding me of the big melt of silver in 1979-1980, only without all the destruction. I'd love to see what's being turned in with these...
Yeah, I think getting people in the door is the major driver here, just from the math. Store A: bring us all your pennies, we'll give you 2 cents...
