[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 547206, member: 4552"]Not really. Or at least by definition. Properties or a rectangle: All angles are 90 degrees. Opposite sides are equal in length. Opposite sides are parallel. Diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other. Nothing states in my math books that opposite sides must be of different lengths. Meanwhile at last Sundays Coin Show I purchased a rediculously polished Buffalo Nickel. It is now in Acetone in a glass jar for one day now. Tomorrow I'll move it to Laquer Thinner for several days. Then back to a paint thinner for a day or so, soaking in warm distilled water for a day, then on to my Kitchen window sill while still damp. [IMG]http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/carlagain/18.jpg[/IMG] Difficult to notice the excessive shine on from this photo but it is highly polished. After a few weeks and then breathing on it, I'll try some more photos. Let you all know. Presently have a Walker Half and a Mercury Dime on that window sill for several weeks now.
