Really? There were an awful lot of people surprised that it went as high as $700-800. Can you ask "everybody" whether it's likely to go up...
Just to make sure I'm following here, you're talking about damage to the minting equipment, not reputational damage or anything like that, right?
I wouldn't expect MEK to be much different from acetone. It doesn't evaporate quite as quickly, and it's got a higher boiling point, so I guess...
@goldcollector, all your posts are "challenged". Address your debt to @Garlicus. As far as anyone here can tell, you're still stubbornly holding...
It gets tricky, because eBay always excludes Coins and Paper Money from those promotions now. You can list in another category, but then not as...
Yeah, we just went through the heart-wrenching process of dispersing a lifetime's worth of treasures from my in-laws. There were some pieces with...
Don't forget that he's been reduced to skulking through in the middle of the night (4-5AM Eastern), when he figures nobody else is up. That way he...

Looking to get rid of any half-cents, two, three, or twenty-cent pieces, or classic gold for which you've lost all respect? ;) As long as demand...
Wow, I didn't think that gunk would budge with any organic solvent, but there it goes! Can't wait for tomorrow's photo...
Yep. You signed a blank check, made out to the government, good for an amount up to and including your life. I'm sure some people have signed up...
I'm still uncertain about this. The flow lines are, as you say, microscopic -- but non-terminal toning involves layers of submicroscopic...
Not a Mac.
I agree on the ones you called "artificial". The "real" example may not be artificial or intentional toning, but it's not desirable. It clearly...
My brother and I learned from Boy Scout guides that suggested it, so I did it myself as a small child.
Oddly, all those terms you've trotted out are ones I was more likely to hear from the generation that brought me up. They were descriptive terms,...
Or someone checking a mechanism, needing a test item, and turning to something non-critical that they already had on hand. Who here hasn't used a...
