That looks great, much better than the original cardboard components

That’s the official story at least, but we all know what’s really going on. There are 10 seasons of documentary detailing what’s really happening under that mountain.

Before the fiasco in Thailand I was a Musk fan, my opinion of him has falled greatly since then; even more so since Twitter. Now I groan whenever I see a headline with his name.

That is a great price for a random shop. It’s a great coin and it’s really cool you were able to stop in and find coins. The shops I vist here in the US, all the prices are 3 to 4 times what they should be, if they have any at all.

I find those green splotches a little worrysome, are they exposed bronze beneth the silvering or is it BD?

They’re not advertising or telling people to come to lemmy.world… people are coming here and they’re just accommodating them instead of blowing them off

Lol, I literally just saw a similar headline, read the result, and said the same thing just before seeing this post.

This is blowing my mind right now… Those things gave me nightmares as a kid thinking they crawl into people’s ears…

Nope, totally out of the loop on this one… Is he renaming Twitter?

What’s the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?

Is this a humble brag for how many books you’ve read?

This is exactly what I needed :-) not quite the same plugin support as Firefox but it’ll do. Thank you

Is there a plan to ever do that?

Lol, no I was making a bad joke referencing how images are low rez (appear blurry) before they finish downloading.

I’ll let you know once the image finishes loading…

Same, every post

Including this one lol

Lol, this one went over my head. What’s the story here?

Wow this is really neat, I didn’t realize sun spots occur in bands like this. I always assumed they occur across the whole surface

Lol, this one is great

If you are buying a coin that’s already on the market as a fully attributed coin then yeah you don’t want to clean it. I buy coins that are “fresh” out of the ground so they’re literally caked with mud. They look like this so they require cleaning. Properly cleaning 2000 yr old coins is a months long process involving microscope and very deliberate & precise application of effort. For some reason I find it very relaxing, almost like a form of meditation. It’s a hobby that I’d love to share the results and talk about with others.

Shameless plug: You can see some of my Before/After pictures over at !ancientcoincleaning@lemmy.world :-)

Yeah, I like tech too but also enjoy cleaning ancient coins. It’ll be nice if someone else found my community and it would pick up. I’m trying to post ever so often so anyone that stumbles on it will know I’m still around
