basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 07/14/2012 12:34 am I believe I have seen a website before that does sell legitimate srunken coins. Not sure about that one, to be honest it wasnt even enough for me to notice in the pics Report this Post to the Staff

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the likes of such a powerful magnetic field, this side of the Solar System! Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/14/2012 03:02 am Does their density change? Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 07/14/2012 03:05 am I have no clue what actually happens with the coin when they do that. Just remember seeing that a while back and thinking it was kind of cool. I wonder what they would say if you tried to send one of those into a TPG to be slabbed Edited by basebal21 07/14/2012 03:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
