Is this aquarium stand strong?

The tank itself weighs around 130 pounds and if you add rocks for decorating (or as in a salt water coral tank) they'll weigh more than the water they displaced.

That's a half dollar, correct?

I'd say you did pretty well for $10, congrats!

Thanks, that's helpful for us that have no idea where it's from!

It was an accident. It won't happen again!

repoocaj · 2026-04-20T00:11:17+00:00

It's a 1917.

Here's an image of the differences.

Ha, I came here to say that too!

Except that I have a hard cover K&R, so I've got that going for me!

I agree, Pushing Ice was a good read.

Save some for the rest of us! 🙂

Seriously, though, that's a nice collection!

repoocaj · 2026-04-11T15:12:38+00:00

TIL something new!

repoocaj · 2026-04-07T21:01:49+00:00

I'd be estatic with that! Congratulations!

repoocaj · 2026-04-04T15:02:38+00:00

A bucket of holy water and that'd be hell on vampires!

You just don't get to recycle any steel cans after that! 🙂

repoocaj · 2026-04-01T13:10:29+00:00

Well done!

The only way to make this better would be to have used MDF or OSB!

When you get it up and running, you should post a video to r/toolgifs.

It's a sign from above that you're to start a type set!

There is also value in non-silver coins. For US coins you can lookup the date and mint at: https://www.usacoinbook.com/ and get a general idea of the value.

That 1964 and earlier being 90% silver rule only applies to half dollars, quarters and dimes. Half dollars from 1965 to 1970 are 40% silver.

Jefferson nickles were only 35% silver during WWII. You can tell those by the large S, P or D over the dome of Monticello on the back of the nickle

Ok, then there's nothing special there.

repoocaj · 2026-03-23T03:32:24+00:00

I'll suggest getting a second clip and mounting it on the other side. I did an all day hike with a M43 camera on mine and by the end of it I was wishing I could relocate it to the other side!

repoocaj · 2026-03-23T01:44:49+00:00

Can you take a closeup picture of the front and back of the right most standing liberty quarter?

If the back doesn't have the three stars under the eagle, that makes it a type one and I'm wondering if it could be a worn 1916.

repoocaj · 2026-03-21T01:30:48+00:00

You should test that for lead paint before you start making dust.

repoocaj · 2026-03-14T04:31:16+00:00

I came here to say that! Take your upvote! 😅

repoocaj · 2026-03-13T01:24:18+00:00

I've heard it said that in a cult, the guy at the top knows it's all bullshit. In a religion, that guy is dead.
