That was a "smack"? Certainly not if the previous post was a joke. One of the sad things about today is that satire really is on its deathbed....
Yes, I'm sure 1.7 million people have been put to death worldwide and a hundred thousand restaurants put out of business in the US because... some...
Be prepared to be very patient. I've been carrying around an ASE as a pocket piece for five or six years, and it's barely down to VF yet.
[MEDIA] "It can't get no worse..."
Even better news: apparently these are now back to being readily available and cheap, at least from Amazon -- around $10 for a pack of 500, "fits...
And that's a perfectly sensible approach. But if you ever do need to get something off a proof coin, acetone is probably the least risky liquid...
That's the joke. Right smack in the "mid" of 5 figures. Like I said, :eek:...
They didn't appear in years 2001 through 2018, I suppose. :rolleyes: That's... interesting, and more than a little scary. It makes me wonder if...

Didn't see this until just now, but I guessed before reading ahead, and it looks like I got both the grade and the reasoning right. Maybe there's...

And if I had a list of things I was looking for, and was willing to pay a "fair price" for them, and wanted to avoid the "learning experience" of...
I saw this listing come across eBay yesterday -- 5 Morgans and 3 Peace dollars, $150. And while the description says it includes a 1902-S, the...
I bought a collection from eBay soon after I got back into the hobby, late in 2010, for somewhere around $1600. (Don't judge, I was enthusiastic,...
As I understand it, most hazing on proofs is actually toning, not organic deposits, so acetone is unlikely to help. Careful dipping (in a chemical...
Nope. Oh, it will clean coins -- but if you pile them in like the jewelry in the picture, or put them in in a metal basket, they'll come out with...
Yep, I remember having quite a few T-shirts with bleached-out necks. Getting old is no picnic, but youth wasn't all sunshine and puppies either,...
I'd read about the late-1980s run-up (here and elsewhere), but apparently had quite a few of the basic facts confused. I found a thread on...
