Base metal calculator

I just ran across something interesting. Some of you may have seen it before, but it is at coinflation.com. It is a basemetal calculator to see what your'e coins are really worth. Right now a pre '82 cent is worth...........drumroll.......1 cent. You can plug in different denominations to see what they are worth.

I've used it before. It is a great tool. Thanks for sharing with the forum.

You should have seen the prices when copper was high several months ago. It was getting crazy!

 

About a year ago, this site was highly talked about. A member of CT created this excel data sheet that allows you to plug in numbers for silver values. Not as extensive as coinflation, but still neat and I use it to this day.

Well, I was trying to upload this file and CT doesn't accept excel files. I can't remember how this guy uploaded it and I can't find his original post. He may have actually emailed it to me. If some knows how I can upload it to CT, please let me know or you can email me through CT (do not PM me on this one) and I will email you a copy of it. This is a great tool if you are selling or buying 90% silver. Joe

 

Try compressing the Excel file into a zip file. A zip file can be attached to a message.

 

I was thinking that very thing, but I have this new Office 2007 and can't find where/how to compress it to a zip file.

 

The Office 2007 program isn't used to create the zip file, that is done using a different program such as Winzip. You create and save the Excel file (and please save it using the older .xls format. If you don't it can only be opened by Office 2007. Leave it to Microsoft to develop a program and have it become an industry standard, and then put out a new edition that save files in a format that no one can open.) and then use the Zip program to compress it. I'm not real good with that explanation, I have "unziped" many a file but I've never "zipped" one.

 

Well, I'll tell you what.... once I get my older computer back up and working, I will try to zip it there since I have Excel 03. I believe that it can be done there.... or if I could just find that post from last year, I could place a link to it.
