    That and not knowing much of anything about it. Jump in head first being a cynic assuming big pharma doesn't want it to harm their profits and that between them and the moralistic types, they must be right prohibiting it in America?

    Or seek out private individuals who can candidly relate their successes or failures having undergone such procedures? Logistically and realistically, the former is likely easier than the latter for most considering such.

    My first primary care physician was Indian. Thick accent, too. I found it tough to communicate effectively.

    Anything is possible I guess. But as far as spots on the newer coins and even the older coins, is good old environmental circulation Crud. Now here's a pic of the original coin in this thread. Some things that are not noticeable may be noticeable by my outlined pick. Let's start with a. In the four head of Lincoln you can actually see a lamination separation crack. Indicated by the a and arrows. Now the most interesting part jump down to B, what is the allusion is that these are actually impression indentations in the coin. Which is the results of the big lip factor. The one thing interesting is that the impressions fade into the die impressions. Have a look at pics not the best but it will have to do.:snaphappy::blackalien: c2-28-2-2.jpg

    A1 chicken sauce?. And definitely don't drink the water in the Philippines, my little experience there I ended up with the water buffaloes revenge. Could not even keep water down. Or it could have been a combination of the barbecued monkey leg that I had the night before.:yack::yack::bigtears::blackalien:

    Clearly, you haven't ever tried 57 or Lea and Perrins Steak Sauce, the orange paper wrapped bottle with the gold ribbon. My hesitation in visiting is that they have no long-haired Scottish high-lands beef being fed grain and sweet feed from 250 to 1100 pounds or so roaming aimlessly about the country.

    A pan fried ribeye or porterhouse you can cut with a fork..... with not a bit of beef on it anywhere fatty enough to make burger without adding fat from another animal.

    My apologies in advance to any vegans who may find the foregoing graphic depictions offensive. Well not really!

    Yet another reason to retire somewhere in present-day UK. Who knows what structure it will have by then?

    I see tons of spots on new uncirculated pennies. In fact, it is hard to find a BU devoid of these spots. I have a few and think I have one that may grade MS and high. Possibly.

    I'll see about digging out the fishmouth 2009 that may be kin by affinity to your fat lip version. Sadly, even with the arrows, I cannot see the fault pointed out by A. Perhaps the over-exposed area above it conceals it from my eyes?

    I'm gonna go easy on this one but would suggest you study prior and embrace whatever variation of Sharia may become predominant. Not all of it is bad, to the contrary, insurance and fractional banking are forbidden and that's pretty solid and wise.

    Nah.

    "... We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.

    We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

    Well now that we cleared that up. Has anyone had a good kobay beef steak lately. Any Steer that has its own massage therapist, and gets the best food available. I still have a problem with paying $50 for a steak. Let's try getting back on topic if we can.:happy::blackalien:

    Not really I still preferred the good old American red meat. buf1.jpg USMC60 Actually ordered an 8 pound Buffalo porterhouse, was not that impressed. And definitely do not like what they call beefuffaol, but some people like it I don't.

    Well here is a 2009. That has the big upper lip on the overs, and a weird funky forefinger on the reverse.:blackalien:

    There's no doubt it was changed (was even announced by the mint iirc), and was because Lincoln had long since become a caricature. It's hard to say the attempt to return to Brenner's original design was successful though, perhaps mostly due to the low relief of modern coins. It's better than it was but still leaves much to be desired, unfortunately.

    I agree, and very much miss the camera shops of yesteryear. It's not just the shops though. Digital is undeniably wonderful, but simply lacks the (for the lack of a better term) character film has, and all but the nicest and/or most costly equipment today lacks the quality and feel of even the average old. "Progress", at least in this respect, is certainly open to debate.

    I too have a number of film rolls/canisters dating back decades, so perhaps I'll use your example as motivation to finally send them in to see what's there. And payphones... don't get me started. ;)

    Rogaine is the stuff used to make the hair on your head grow.......

    I have a friend that does beefaloe, some free range and grass-fed, others left standing in a feed lot on nothing but sweet feed and water from 300 pounds to slaughter.

    Huge difference in the taste between the two. The grass-fed knocks you over with wild onion taste.

    The Oreo Cookie cows are Belted-Galloway and they generally cannot be raised very far south as they do not suffer heat well.

    If you ever have the opportunity to try the belties, you should. It isn't cheap at all and I definitely prefer the sweet feed fed over grass fed. Yeah yeah yeah, modifies their dna or whatever since their stomachs aren't made for that. They get over it.

    At one time, we raised them further south than anyone had ever done with success. 15 out of 20 would grade USDA Grade A and the Standing World Champion Bull lived on the farm.

    15 years ago, ribeye fetched about 20/lb and Tenderloin 35/lb.

    Long-haired bovine have much less body fat than short haired.

    The result is very good beefaloe or the highlanders will age a full 26-28 days (highlanders the longer) before turning rancid. Too lean to make burger.

    Compare that to USDA Grade A Angus maximum aging of 21 days and no need to add other animal fat to make burger out of most cuts from it.
