[QUOTE="Cincimatti, post: 24695654, member: 16004"]Hi, Jeff! I will! Lots of before and after pics. And a caveat about indiscriminate shopping around on the internet! I think I would have some good insights on navigating and surviving eBay (excluding the 500 IHC - excuse me, "Sarah Longacre Cent" debacle above. Can't say I'm not a little nervous. Usually, it's "clear pictures", or I move on. This time, I took a walk on the wild side!) Will unveil the contents soon. It hasn't arrived yet. One of my success stories here (not to go off topic) but a preview of my new thread: A lot of Lincoln Cents I bought for $3.00 or so yielded nothing too exciting, mostly junk, and this jaw-dropping knockout. I sold the rest of the lot for what I paid for it, and kept this one for [I]free[/I]! My kick is working on filling out a whole Dansco with "free" coins; selling the incumbent and using the proceeds to upgrade, or cherry-picking lots. The local coin shop has quite a few on a top shelf collecting dust. When I asked for one of the Dansco Lincoln Cent albums he had last summer, he rang it up with a hefty discount and stuffed it in a bag in record time! He doesn't draw the kind of traffic that is interested in them, but there's definitely a market out there! Won't be needing the chemistry this round! Oh, and yeah... 10.6 gr. of baking powder is 2 1/4 teaspoons, while 8.4 gr. = 1 3/4. 100ml is .4226 cups, or a little less than half-a-cup. Sorry it took me 7 years to enlighten the community on that tidbit. I googled it just now. I'll let you know, if I botch the measurements and set off an explosion in my kitchen, but I think it will work.
