Oh, lordy. When the algorithms start coming back and pointing out that rich-collector-beloved, even famous, coins are "damaged" or "fake", those...
The Panda was 2019, the ASE was 2018. And if there's a "current-year appeal" premium, why are they selling the 2018 lower than "random year" ASEs?
Yup. Quartz passes all the way up into UV-C, and way into the IR (but not quite into the thermal IR ranges). Just a shame it's so hard to work.
If you ever find any that aren't unique, the Secret Service will probably be interested. ;) Yours is DEFINITELY a candidate for the Official...
Evidence suggests you're right. :)
To get into "you're both partly right" territory: UV comes in different "colors" just like visible light. After you go past blue and violet, you...
Found another eBay listing that should give you what you want, here ya go.
That second one listed should, if it supports OTG. I've got a snake-camera that works with my phone; don't see why a suitably-configured...

Not crazy, just gifted with a fully-functional human brain. :) It's natural for people to look at random detail and see patterns in it. That's...
I ended up just cruising surplus/scrap stores until I found something workable. Looking for new stuff on Amazon or eBay, I could never find...
Or needed, from the looks of it. :yack: (Only kidding, some of my go-to quick meals look worse than that. And, as I used to tell my kids, "it'll...
Many plastics yellow over time with UV exposure, and can turn more brittle as well. But I think the fogging you see on headlights is from abrasion...
There's also Photoshop Elements, which is quite capable and non-subscription (usually $70-100).
The Effigy Mounds design on a puck must look like a quilted pillow.
Fortunately, the over-the-counter tests are pretty reliable these days.
I don't understand the thought process behind this. If there are ugly spots on a coin, you photoshop them out, and it sells based on those...
