Bonus round......ding ding ding.....What did Hedy Lamarr invent? Since none of you are remotely close! To the cost of this coin ..... Paddy offers a bonus round Hedy Lamarr actress and inventor.....what did she invent and when was it used?
She invented frequency hopping, as a method to prevent a third party from jamming a communications signal. She gave it to the Navy in World War II, but they were not able to implement it until after the war. It's the basis for which WiFi, Bluetooth and other radio frequency communications are done today.
That is correct.....and was first used in the 1960's durring the Cuban missile crisis. She wasn't only a good looker and actress but pretty darn smart to boot. As for the nickel I gave 5 cents for it and would of paid the cost of having it slabbed. However a coin club member paid for the grading as a gift to me..so I paid 5 cents ! As I cherry Picked it... Yes ddddd Paddy's rules....again. and since Justin got the bonus answer he wins. Plus ya all got educated..... Oh btw the Capitals will win the Stanley cup

Not so hard. Google is incredibly easy to use. But I did learn something today and that is always priceless. I'll post something soon.
Ok. Back to basics. This is a common date coin in a very common grade. Thankfully her eye appeal and old holder more than makes up for how common she is. I bought her at a local show last month. PCGS MS-64 1880-S Morgan Dollars average on eBay between $50.00 and $75.00. What did I pay?
