That was called "fire retardant" back in the day!
Yes, we used to do a bunch of "dangerous" stuff back then! I remember handling liquid mercury and my friends and I would see who could gather up...
I had an old milk jug I found in the 70s as a kid and filled it up with anything interesting I found back then! Mostly wheat cents, and a few...
The upper left cent was dipped in either sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid, in science class back in the 70s. The elongated Canadian is either...
Lots more to go through, but these look interesting so far! [ATTACH][ATTACH]

Interesting, I didn't realize there were enough BUs left on the market for large retailers to sell in bulk. I did order some XF/AU Walkers a few...
I was searching through some of the silver retailers for some nice looking silver dollars. I'm just curious, where do they get BU Peace and...
