Just make sure it's not enriched, eh?
Are you trying to collect, or are you trying to make money?
For an example like that, I'd happily pay five or ten cents. I certainly wouldn't spend it. But that's because I spent countless hours as a kid...
Yep. Otherwise, aluminum would be attacked by water.

Remember to use a glass you don't care about. Strong bases like lye will etch glass as well, eventually.
After lots of discussion here, my understanding is that it's the work hardening done on copper-nickel that makes the date more resistant to...
Any other coin will display a date and mintmark. There's no effective way to restore dates on anything other than nickels. Etching a coin that...
Well, first of all, the VerdiCare formula is proprietary, highly effective, and apparently a good seller, so I can't imagine @BadThad would be...
