From a chemistry hobbyist who's worked with these acids, and had a fair number of mishaps, and tends to be clumsy: These acids are very powerful...
Always a fun comparison, but not really relevant. In 1967, you didn't know what would best catch collectors' fancy 53 years in the future. And...
That's an 1851-O! The only year the series was struck at a branch mint, and quite scarce and desirable. If I had to guess, I'd say that one's...
So does oxygen, but try living without it.
And for an example of how well that works out, look at any HOA. :rolleyes: I still like the idea of a draft for political positions, just because...
He did her a good deed -- the machine wouldn't have given her credit for steel cents. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, there's a magnetic trap inside...
Toning is often caused by certain gases that are emitted from paper, or from combustion (cigarettes/coal/gas), or foods. People have toned coins...

Sounds a bit like the eternal lists of "Best [album/band/artist] Of All Time", where someone spends an hour or two compiling a list, then gets...
Just point out that it kills viruses, and that it kills them even more effectively in the presence of carbon dioxide! Stitch a few silver dollars...
Dang, I'd expect them to clock that at 60 or 70 when it was sitting at a red light...
I think most restaurants are going to end up this year with no profit. :( Oh, non-profit. My bad.
Okay, I actually caved in and watched the video. Looked like 1896 to me. A real, real shame about the scrubbing.
Yup, it's part of the Circle of Numismatic Life. Being spent at face value or passed through a CoinStar is better than being thrown in the trash,...
Golly, wouldn't it be great if PCGS's cert verification gave you at least a thumbnail image of the actual coin, so you could see whether it was...
I know a fingerprint in a field is distracting, but... Part of the fascination of old coins is thinking "who handled this, and what did they buy...
I don't doubt that it's MS65, but dang, that's an ugly coin.
From a single photo, I still can't distinguish light wear from "MS but typically poorly struck from New Orleans". I agree that this looks like...
Separate names with a comma.
