Back in the day, I could go to a coin shop or coin show with my pocket change, and buy better-condition classic coins on a child's budget....
It's always fun when folks land on a GTG thread and don't realize that there's more than one page to it...
I admire a man who has the courage of his convictions. :rolleyes:
Here you go. Sorry, that's not gunk, that's corrosion -- there are pits in the coin. There's a product called VerdiCare that can get rid of the...
Now you done got it.
Pretty sure that "knewed" is getting into territory that's prohibited by the CT rules...
Heh. I wasn't working -- I was sponging off my wife while she worked at Armstrong, er, that is, I was finishing up my dissertation. Still, I...

I like to think that there's only one here who doesn't know that, and that he was just in a talkative mood yesterday. Glad you've found an...
