Yup, they're "special", all right...
I think at this point I agree more than disagree with what you've written. I don't think a respirator will do any good, but it won't do any harm....
I'm still puzzled myself about which part of my response constituted "tough talk (macho attitudes)". If I'm inadvertently hurting someone's...
I take exception to this. I "chime in" when people post bad information about certain topics. If I "always" do it, well, it must be because...
For completeness, we should note that rags and newsprint are also combustible when they aren't soaked with acetone. Acetone will evaporate very...
When it comes to that, 100% water isn't healthy for the lungs, if you inhale too much of it. Acetone is one of the very safest organic solvents...
Just leaving this here for myself to look at next time I'm tempted to judge a coin from a photo... :rolleyes:
You're right; the analogy was too much of a stretch. My point: How does "letting people learn lessons from making mistakes" justify turning a...
Great point. That's why I don't call 911 when I see someone weaving down the interstate in the wrong direction. How else will people learn to...
D'oh! On the other hand, if acetone dissolved the bucket in the first place, it should take the plastic back off the dimes. Soak and rinse them...
Maybe, if it's in such a tight enclosure that differential expansion would put pressure on it, but that's really far-fetched. The biggest danger...

Yeah, I've bought coins like that considerably closer to spot, and wouldn't pay the premium you're facing. Guess I'm out of the market for bigger...
What can I say? I'm glad your luck has been good; mine was, too, mostly. Yes, I'm in a position where I'd rather not take a $1600 hit. I don't...
Yes, the images are clear and even, but unflattering. They obscure luster, and can obscure toning. On the other hand, scanner images can also...
Of course not. They've made things much safer for buyers than for sellers; I've responded rationally, by becoming a heavier buyer, and no longer...
@kanga's point about stray light is important. The brighter your desk lamp is, the less other lights around the room will interfere -- but if...
My case happened in 2008. It's possible that policy has changed since then, perhaps in response to scams like the one my buyer attempted; if so,...
Account hijacking is not that uncommon. One or two of my auction "wins" gone bad have been because of hijacked accounts, and I've reported...
Fine, the fact that he "received Buy It Now commitments with provisional transfer of funds" for 48 of them. :rolleyes: If your listing claims to...
Separate names with a comma.
