   I've seen threads go "off-topic" before but never like this! 

   Why not continue the discussion in a "Star Trek" or "Advanced Physics" topic in the "Water Cooler" forum?

Because this content is leading to a transition to the coin topic where it is revealed that some dryer coins may actually be coins that were glued to the outside of the Enterprise where travel at warp speeds caused excessive wear resembling dryer coin damage though they are actually warp coins not dryer coins. Be patient please

THE FOLLOWING POST IS STRICTLY TO ANTAGONIZE THE THREAD COMBATANTS CURRENTLY COMBATTING IN THIS THREAD............

The Enterprise did not travel in straight line normal space to achieve faster than light travel. They used a space warp developed by Effrom Cochrane (episode Metamorphosis) to cheat space and move from one place to another in a time frame that put them in place "faster than light speed" while not having to travel in normal space at speeds faster than the speed of light..................

PS: I never used the word "combatting" before.

Looks like a chemical stain caused when a rubber band is around the box or envelope that the coin was stored in.

Gene Roddenberry exists which proves that warp speed exists. Stop resisting......................................................

No debate. Simply stating proven facts Stay away from that youtube................

As well as unfounded optimism and motive.

According to my handy dandy Star Trek warp speed calculator, at warp 7.15 you can travel one light-year in 24hrs. So, one a day? I have a feeling @GoldFinger1969 may have something to say about this. 

That Warp Speed Calculator must have come from youtube In the episode "That Which Survives" the Enterprise was thrown 990.7 light years from their location. In less than twenty-fours hours they were back where they started from. Maximum sustained speed of the Enterprise is warp 8.0. You have been pulled from reality world and led astray

Has NGC started attributing pareidolia???

Try a dime and a dollar next time. Be careful though. Do not mash your finger👍👍👍

And I still have this MS70 1943 Copper Cent that looks like a shoe………………………………………

Always remember that for a conversation to have validity, fact must supersede opinion.

You can compare your coins to these to help you authenticate your examples👍👍👍

Is this one of those "This is your brain, This is your brain on drugs" PSAs???

For Scotch whisky, The Glenlivet Nadurra is a nonpeaty that is a good starter for people who are not yet turned on to Scotch. Used to be $55.00 or so but recently is selling for nearer to $80.00.

Is "nonpeaty" a word?

Pappy - very nice, but hard to find.

If you do good research you may find it is easier to get than marketers would have you think.........................................

Until recently all the versions of Blanton's except the original single barrel were only sold outside of USA. Some are sold at ridiculous prices in the states now. Never pay more than retail for them. You can get them in duty free in many places. Normal retail are usually the following or so,

Single Barrel: $49.95

Gold Edition:  $59.95

Silver Edition:  Discontinued but can still be found $69.95 (Currently selling for $6,000.00 a bottle online)

Special Reserve:  $69.95

Straight From The Barrel:  $79.95

There are still retailers that sell Pappy Van Winkle for retail if you do some looking. I will not mention any places online as that will make it harder for me to acquire Pappy at retail. They are out there though.

I’ve never tried or even heard of Blanton’s. Send me a bottle please.

Your request has been noted. I only give bottles as unsolicited gifts. No soliciting please

Huh. I wasn’t even aware they used polish on those. Now a nice Allen Edmonds dress wingtip….

Mr Spock is rolling over in his grave

I give Blanton’s as gifts regularly

Blanton’s is never impossible if you know where to look. Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel is great and also Blanton’s Gold Edition. Gold edition is a great starter for someone who is not yet a Bourbon fan.

The logical explanation for this coin to exist is that a poorly executed die polish resulted in the coin looking exactly like a shoe.
