I'm not losing any sleep over that clause. I think it's just covering them against some technical issues. It's actually quite hard to manage...
Well, there are certainly some nice examples of classic Seated coins here, but I guess I must be the only one with a substantial collection of...
Maybe. But I can imagine that one of the "impurities" involved is just plain old oxygen dissolved in the acetone or adsorbed on the metal. That's...
...and I guess I'm back to "acetone on copper probably isn't a good idea". :) I sure wish, though, that the citation could be more specific about...
Found it: RARE Three (3) 1923-S Buffalo Nickel 5 Cent ~ U.S. Coin Lot !! 5c Semi key Dates Looks like nobody bit, not even at the $9.95 starting...
I thought of one other exception -- higher-end restaurants that put single-digit prices on their menus. In that example, I think they're going for...
I'm pretty sure that even the most rabid libertarian/radical-capitalist thinkers agree that "force and fraud" are big no-nos, and even justify...
Ended (already) "because the item is no longer available". Kudos to you for calling it out, and to the seller for doing the responsible thing and...
As I said, "you'll find some disagreement here". :) It may be that some acetone has impurities that will attack aluminum. Chemical engineers,...
Never going to happen. For evidence, look at any gas station's posted prices. It's been many decades since 1/10 cent was a significant fraction of...
I'm personally in the "acetone is fine" camp, but I don't have a lot of experience to back it up, so you probably shouldn't listen to me. Xylene...
You'll find some disagreement here about whether acetone can harm copper coins -- some people think it can, some think it can't. You'll also find...
That shield nickel looks off to me, but I'm not very familiar with the series. I don't like the way the denticles disappear around a big part of...
One quibble: I'm pretty sure vinegar eats the nickel faster than the copper. Nickel is much more reactive than copper; it'll displace hydrogen...
Sure. It's been discussed for years, maybe decades. I think it'll be discontinued eventually; the only question in my mind is whether it'll go...
Yep, the Internet is a great source for accurate and useful information -- and for wool. ;)
One of the brothers who helped drive silver to its all-time high in 1980 has passed away. Nelson Hunt the man who took silver to $50 in 1980 dies...
Did you read it here? US Mint to Cease Penny Production in 2015 - Cash Money Life If so, please note the specific month and day that they say...
To be just a little more technical: Vinegar is a mild acid. It will attack various metals, some quickly, some slowly. It also dissolves a lot of...
Nah. There's a big difference between "delusional" and "misguided". And both of those are far removed from "telling stories that serve their own...
