Zinc Pox.
Yeah, you could oxidize the copper without disturbing the zinc underneath. It would still be tricky, though, because once the zinc is exposed it...
That would be tricky. Copper melts at 1984 F; zinc boils at 1665 F. I found this out when I was focusing sunlight through a large lens onto a...
Nope, that approach completely divorces the collecting aspect, leaving only speculation. I'd rather speculate on things that produce value as...

Y'know, in this particular market, it's possible that your daughter's used car has appreciated more than that coin in the interim! That is a...
And there's one other bidder who thinks the winner didn't overpay by that much, and several other bidders who disagree. I wonder how high the...
Always nice to see a write-up of a historic milestone that I'm not (quite) old enough to remember. :rolleyes:
