2000 D South Carolina error? Or not, and if it is what is it?

You calling me a moron???? Take it back.
On second thought why don't you just tell me what is wrong with me showing die cracks and PMD so others can recognize them. I do not quote any sales prices.
Oh maybe they should all just buy books.

I think watching videos is the LEAST ATTRACTIVE way to learn anything I've ever heard of. I just wanna slap the narrators.

Want me to learn something from you about your specialty and you like electronic means? Publish a stinkin' eBook or something. The "pace" needs to be controlled by the audience! That's why when I give Money Talks at ANA shows, I ENCOURAGE interruptions from the audience. It's interactive and the audience dictates the emphasis.

 

Geez, I think I'm starting to understand you.

 

@Jesse Gillispie PICK IT OFF. Be carefull not to loose it so it can be reapplied if you want. I’ll bet it’s PMD but instead of post mint damage it’s post mint debris. Lol. What ever the junk is it looks to occured after the coin was minted and might just lift off. Try it the coins worth $.25 what’s to loose.
Try it with bamboo skewers. @lordmarcovan recommended using them in one of his post and I’m going to try them. I’ve always used tooth picks sharped with a #10 hobby knife but find them to weak for some of the tougher jobs like this. Bamboo I believe is the ticket. It can be sharpened down to fine chisels and points but care must be taken as Bamboo has a high silica percentage making it more prone to scratch coin metal.

 

Do you realize that 95% of the schools in the USA no longer use books. Everything is electronic. Aren't ebooks electronic?

 

I realize nothing of the sort. I get into classrooms. Textbooks are still the norm.

And for my son's college? MASSIVE numbers of books - "DEAD TREE" BOOKS.

 

@V. Kurt Bellman @yartiques
Have to agree with Kurt here. My son is in college and I paid $475 this semester for books and half of them are used. It’s his second year and all through High School he had books and middle School he had books..................

 

Schools here don't "issue" computers at all, although I've read of places that do. More common is BANNING tech from the classrooms.

 

Textbook publishers are the Big Pharma of colleges. I don't see it fully going electronic for ages. Books are references as well and many people navigate by remembering in different ways where they saw something. Hard to adapt easily to fully electronic references, especially if urls change, or access is pulled or files are corrupted.

 

uh...no

 

Yeah, pick it off, even if it is a strikethrough it wouldn't be worth much.

 

Some schools HAVE made eCommitments, such as I believe Stanford U. has.

 

If your physician or surgeon learned with ebooks, I would choose another. I prefer them to be at least 60yrs of age myself. The Human Anatomy book I Use is available in all forms,paper, Hard and Soft covers, and buy or rent. The ones with the paper pages do best, as it is devilish hard to see diagrams when you are learning the structures. And is it not fair to compare the publishers with Big Phrama that buys from India and other countries and multiply the price before reselling. The largest expense by far is for the fancy artwork which must be there to survive. About 2/3 of the cost of a textbook is to the excellent illustrations and photos. It is no longer my textbook, or probably not most here, where everything was B/W including illustrations. Also scientific knowledge now is doubling about every 5 years, where as it was prob. doubling every 20-30 years. However, Rice Univ. started a project which is now OpenStax ( https://cnx.org/) with excellent books that can be downloaded and use for no charge in classes. My college has had a committee working on incorporating this for a few years, but the seduction of free tests, lecture notes, powerpoints, that the publishers offer with their, is difficult to resist still.

 

@desertgem @V. Kurt Bellman The way you guys are droning on about books reminds me of Burgess Merideth’s character in the Twilight Zone episode “Time enough at last” he was just crazy about books like you guys. I can picture both of you sitting surrounded by piles of books in a bombed out library. Lol. Poke poke.

 

Was that the episode with Burgess Meredith? Edit-did not see you mentioned his name. Sorry.

 

Henry Bemis was the characters name
