Now, I don't think anybody here has ever claimed that you have to inspect vacuum pumps in-hand to find the proper specimen...
That was addressed (rhetorically) to Amazon, not you. You were just serving as an uncompensated marketing associate. ;)
And I'd award you points for the rebuttal as well, if you hadn't already stated your opinion that good Morgan dollars make horrible collecting...
Ah, Amazon. You really are doing your inhuman corporate best to make me accumulate more stuff...
But how do you feel about spoiled grapes? I mean, proper curation would have kept that sugar intact, either by freezing or drying, instead of...
The big stopper is 1916, which was really more of a pattern. 1923-S and 1921 are very hard as well. 1927-S is sort of a "semi-key", and many dates...
That works for me, too. Good thing I'm not looking for attractively-toned coins, though, because I'm sure not getting many of them.
I don't get it. What, exactly, is the key difference between "placing coins into a specific paper envelope or an album known to cause toning" and...
California is absolute paradise. Plus, unfortunately, about 35 million too many people and about 80 million too many cars. Get rid of those, and...
I read it less as "we get to dictate to Kurt whether his experiences are valid", and more as "Kurt's experiences aren't universal". Plenty of room...
Better. You. Than. Me. (shudder)
Universal quantifiers are easy. One counterexample and you're done, or at least on to moving the goalposts. :D
And yet, here we both are. When I come up with, say, a Kisatchie quarter with odd disturbances in the reverse fields, I can put up an image so...
Except when "the market" guides a seller or a TPG to do so, classing the wear as "cabinet friction" or the like. ;)
Funny you mention that. Thanks to the new generation of antihistamines that have come to market in the last decade or two, I can hold that cat...
I think I'm going to have to pile on here, too. https://www.thoughtco.com/einstein-proposes-his-theory-of-relativity-1779192
Hard to remember back that far, but I think it was my grandfather... telling me that I wouldn't be capable of cogent or important thought until I...
Or, more generally, "the Internet". Yeah, there are great resources out there. Now I'll just wait for Someone to chime in with a comment that...
Until someone can show me a balanced chemical equation for the toning reaction that incorporates intent, I think that's a non-starter. I mean, if...
"I know it when I see it." No, wait, that was only for off-color material, right?
