I'm not a paper-money person, but the threshold for unaligned bills does seem to be having part of the design run off the edge. Certainly at least...
I'm sorry, but I've been seeing this thread for more than a day now, and I'm still seeing the title as "Fake Cheerios hemidrachms". It's starting...
Well, you can't let them figure out that they've got something. :rolleyes: The problem with BIN is that it only takes one other person spotting...
Which I'd forgotten about until you reminded me. :( But I forgive you.

I'm actually intrigued by the notion of collecting some things that would need to be kept in high vacuum or an inert atmosphere. Zincolns don't...
There seems to be an underlying assumption that the price of "collectible" or "stackable" silver should closely track the price of industrial or...
My wife doesn't use makeup, and we can swap T-shirts if we need to. Pants, not so much; her legs are more normal length than mine.
The idea is that PMs will hold their value, not that they'll skyrocket in actual value. A loaf of bread on sale for $3.50 now might be tagged at...
