Yes, I can see what you see. I can also see an "S" or an "8" above and to the right of the S mint mark, a tilted 1 pointing away from the S in the...
Every once in a long while -- every few years -- a new error, one that isn't in the books, gets discovered. People who just let their "eyes do...
I think you're doing the right things to remove the damaging "gunk" from the coin, but the damage it's left is permanent. I don't think there's...
Yup.
Doesn't seem to be. I think the only things illegal to melt are cents and (75/25) nickels. I believe war nickels are explicitly fair game at this...
And yet nearly all of us choose it over the alternative...
I like gambling on "cull lots" myself. I know next to nothing about early copper, but I'll be interested to hear what others have to say about it....
Also, I'll grant that sterling is different. A bar or lump of .925 is easier to deal with than a pile of ugly forks and candlesticks. But I still...
Drag a corner across a stone, drop silver-testing acid on the streak, and see what color it turns. Or if you're a clueless pawn-shop employee,...
That's all I can tell, too. I mean, I can see it's a 1969-S cent, but...
That's the whole problem. We need advanced electronics to run the factories making advanced electronics. Disconnected spare parts wouldn't be...
You can gather a bunch of 90% coins, or 40% halves, or 35% war nickels, wrap them in rolls, and stuff them in boxes. Anyone can easily see what...
Well, maybe -- but how many libraries still have non-electronic catalogs? Here's a good short treatment of the problem, from 1961. :rolleyes:...
Well, that doesn't sound suspicious at all. Two packages going missing from the same location, with the same carrier? Hmm.
We're climbing a really huge pyramid here -- all today's technology is based on many decades of accelerating progress. "Starting over", even with...
What? No love for Poor Poor Pitiful Me?
It's not eight hours, it's endless days as I rotate old stock. I guess I could just view MREs as permanent. For that matter, I guess I could view...
Dad, get me out of this! [MEDIA]
Big pile of change in the Harris-Teeter machine this evening -- one or two foreign, two or three dollars worth of quarters, nickels, dimes, and...
If you want to do different things depending on whether the spot price is $1329, $1328, or $1323, you need to keep in mind that it can easily...
