    Just wondering, If I wanted to take a picture of a coin by using it on a scanner, will the light from the scanner in any way ruin or tone my coin?
    I know it's a dumb question, but, better be safe than sorry!:smile

    The only dumb question is the one you don't ask ;)

    It was a good question coinkid. If you don't know the answer to something, you can bet a lot of other people don't either. So you are helping out a lot of people by asking.

    What does GDJMSP stand for !

    BTW - did you catch that fast 180 you did on that mint set. I was impressed with the athletism, reflexes and nimbleness. Float like a butterfly .... etc etc ;)

    Light will almost definetely affect silver. What drove me nuts was scanners of Comic Book Covers. Now there you can talk to me untill your blue in the face and I KNOW that set off chemical events in the ink and paper.

    IIRC, those are his initials. My parents were lazier (more conventional, whatever) and only gave me 3 names, but Doug's parents were overachievers and so he got more!

    That part I knew, but since he never signs his name I have to remember the random sequence of letters if I'm to properly address him!

    My name is a story unto itself and with a set of initials that long you can imagine how long the explanation for it would be :D

    I've posted the full name several times in the past but I suppose it has been long enough that everyone has forgotten. So here we go again - Gordon Douglas John Michael Spencer Prather - there is only one.

    And now ya know why I just go by Doug ;)

    Okay, I get it - I didn't need to say it's a dumb question.
    The only reason I said is because those annyoing insults are what I have to put up with at school.

    Doug is a whole lot to easier to address you with than GDJMSP! When I got divorced under Jewish law they had a special witness who had a name with about 8 names and the "son of" someone with about 10 names. Evidently it was a tradition in that family in order to forfil the need for a specifically known witness in documents for Jewish courts, such as divorces and monetary disputes.
