What ever happened to our little Timmy?

 

@rickmp , I dunno. I'm sure you clicked his avatar as I did and saw that he hasn't been on CT since March 20th.

 

Well, I'd put money on it that he hasn't yet propelled the world 1000 years into the future.....

 

Well, sure he did. It just means that the rest of us will have to do without his posts for the next 999.5 years.

 

Chemists use density, everyone else seems to use specific gravity or SG. Density = Mass/Volume

 

And circulated War Nickels are always that greenish-gray color too.

 

I *love* that greenish-gray color.

 

Actually specific gravity is the mass of the material divided by the mass of the same volume of water at that temperature.

 

But since the density of water is 1 g/cc, they are practically the same. Density is more accurate than specific gravity, but harder to determine, so SG gets used.

 

Who told you that...weeeeeeeeeeeeell, pretty close, but density changes with temperature, specific gravity doesn't. Just depends on how picky you are.

 

He hasn’t been on CT using the Detecto name since March 20. I suspect he’s been around though.

 

I'm not sure how that can be true. Nearly everything expands as it gets hotter and shrinks as it gets colder, and not everything does it at the same rate as water.

 

So does sg - it is based on water at 25C.

 

Hey I have the same nickel a 1946 transitional error silver nickel has been tested to be silver 30% silver what's it worth?
