Seems like they're trying to get you to start. :) I haven't sold tech on eBay in close to ten years, but they just sent me a promo to list...
I checked my opt-in box, and got two nice, beefy offers over the next month. I guess I took too much advantage of them, though, because I haven't...
Care to post a link to the auction? Seems like you might have good grounds for opening a Significantly Not As Described case, but I'd like to see...
I've come to hate the eBay Bucks promotions, because I never get them any more. And since so many others do, it drives up prices -- if you know...
I've just gotten back from mailing my Kennedys back to the mint, so this is relevant to my interests. I don't follow your logic here at all. If...
A three-volt piece! Sweet! :) Were these in the internal reject bin (which I don't think I've ever actually seen), or just lying in the reject...
I'm getting ready to contribute my -5 to next week's totals. :( I thought about asking for an exchange, but the more I thought about it, the more...
For those of you following along at home, I just called them, and they're no longer buying. Guess there were plenty of folks who thought $1350 was...
I'd expect a lot like that to go for $250 on eBay. If there are any more where that came from, go snag them!
Ah. The "silver solders" I've used bear only a few percent silver, and melt not too much hotter than regular tin/lead. I think they're mostly...
Again, this is mostly based on my experience with electronics. Heat sinks -- I think you'd be more likely to cause damage by clamping on the heat...
Solder has quite a lot of surface tension. That's why braided copper wire draws it up. Gravity won't do the trick -- even if you sling it off the...
Yeah, I actually signed up for My Choice so I could get the narrower delivery-window report on my Mint package. I wasn't entirely sure that we'd...
I really do appreciate that. :) But I can't claim completely noble motives in this particular instance. I wanted to take a chance on getting into...
Ooh, I'll have to spend some time at that site. :) I started looking around, and found that concentrated (28%) ammonia is easily available now...
Okay, I've found another reference that mentions etching silver, and even gold, with an iodine/potassium iodide solution. That caught me by...
Hmm. I see ammonia plus hydrogen peroxide listed as a silver etchant. That might be worth a try, although you'd have to make it up fresh each...
I've seen other posts about a silver date restorer that was available a long time ago (1960s?), but I haven't been able to track it down. I think...
...and here's the circular smear on the first one's obverse, lit from two different directions to show how its appearance shifts (a bit like...
Here's the big obverse smear on the fifth one. I used strong oblique light and stretched the contrast to bring out the (mis)feature. [ATTACH]
