I just got back from my first coin show, and I have some really nice things to share! Firstly, I bought One of these for $1950 and a 1621 Three Polker coin for $16 That is all that I bought.. However, I spent $30 on a pot luck game and won.. A 1966 mint set. Not sure of the value, but the half is 40% silver A 1965 mint set. Dido on the silver. A 1973 Lincolin-Kennedy penny A 1971 s Proof dime! A 2011 Andrew Jackson $1 proof! A 1999 Susan B Anthony proof! A 1-euro coin from 2000 I did well, no?
I don't currently have a good camera, though I have a 10 year old scanner that only works in windows 98 that I've been meaning to figure out to scan some.. I'll see if I can do anything this evening
Simply plugging it in to a computer running windows xp caused it to blue screen. Yea. Haven't tried with 7, though... Haven't used it in nearly six years as well.
Sounds like you had a good time. And nice pickup too. A old scanner may work with a Mac. the one I have has been running for about ten years now. A new scanner won't scan US paper money, so if you're buying a new one keep that in mind.
Well, the scanner, as well as its driver CD are dated August 1999. The CD says "Works in windows 98" I tried to install it on my windows 98 laptop, it never sees the scanner. Installing it on a windows xp or later machine causes the application to crash. It won't work unless run under windows 95 mode. I never had the scanner working on anything other than windows ME. >.< I need a new flatbed. Why won't new ones scan paper money?
There are none. And the windows 98 machine can't be networked. I have no pcmcia wlan or lan card that works
It's an anti-counterfeiting measure. Use a point and shoot camera. BTW...ALWAYS look up coins before buying them. Just giving you advice. You can by 3 polkers all day long on eBay for $5-$8. You can easily get burnt by people who make coins "seem" like a good deal. It's happened to me a lot.
If you had a good time, what difference does it really make if you spent $16 on a three polker coin? They seem to be going for from $12-$14 on e-bay, which means at least $16 shipped.
Well, I configured my old windows XP machine back to the ME it came with and got the scanner working.. Also, I found these in a stash. Any idea what they are worth? and
Beautiful Double Eagle! Think you pulled a good deal out of that one. Don't think either Morgan is a key, so around melt plus a little premium.
I'm not a Morgan expert by any means but I see a lot of detail in the Eagles breast feathers(still small pictures) so I'd guess at least AU on both of them.
