Oddly enough, I just got a texted photo from my daughter of the chemistry experiment she's running as homework from her chemistry class!...
They certainly look like today's Alibaba fakes - coloring, texture, mushy details. Edit to add: the 1948 would be a key date, with mintage under...
You can't fool me. That's Beavis!
I know some of the tricks for learning and remembering names, but I have a really hard time applying them. Couple that with my really poor ability...
I was always a good speller, but not contest-level, and never got the hang of spelling verbally. I have to see the word in front of me, but when I...
I've talked to a lot of people with a lot of education levels. There's some correlation with speech and writing styles, but lots and lots of...

I agree, toning, not gold. You certainly could layer enough gold onto a silver coin to be worth something extra. I've just never seen or heard...
What it takes is a gap between two large-enough conductive objects, or in a large-enough conductive loop. I've made a nice little ball lightning...
I guess there's still a steady stream of people cashing in collections at banks or spending them at stores. Keeps things interesting for those of...
I think putting a single coin in the microwave would be about the same as running the microwave empty, which isn't good for the appliance. The...
I've often joked that since I cycle for exercise, I really should be filling my bike frame with lead. I suppose gold would be even better! Heck, I...
A classic argument against the gold standard. Don't base your economy on something that can be "lost in a tragic boating accident".

You know, Them.
Separate names with a comma.
