I'm afraid that hasn't been correct for more than 20 years. Congress abolished the presidential appointment in 1996. John Mercanti was given the...
"Dies have to last" is a not really a reason for NCLT. Let's assume that each die costs $1000 to make (NWT charges range from $150-$1500 per)....
This may be a repeat, but we seem to be stuck on dimes: [ATTACH]
The challenge is that if the D3100 detects chipping, it requires that the aperture ring to be set to the minimum aperture or it shows the dreaded...
Unfortunately, pre-AI-s lenses have a non-linear aperture lever action. "Chipping" one allows all exposure modes to be used on a D3100, but...
Correct. Only a handful of older film camera bodies distinguish between AI and AI-s lenses. Mid-range and high-end Nikon dSLR’s do allow...
It will mount and shoot, but you can only use it in unmetered manual exposure mode (as well as manual focus).
I need to rephotograph this one: [ATTACH]
The requirements have gotten considerably more formalized in the last 47 years! No shock there. IIRC, a quick presentation, a 20th century type...
I wouldn't spend $10 million on coins, but I might spend $2-3 million on a 'denomination' set: 1/2 cent -- 1809/6 Half Cent 1 cent -- 1943-S 2...

I'm not sure this one counts as Mexican: [ATTACH] This one does, but every April I offer it in barter for a personal grooming session. So far,...
As nice a 1926 $2.50 Sesquicentennial as I could find for that price.
I wish I had a nicer coin to wake up the thread with. Or at least a nicer shot of this one. Anacs EF40 Damaged. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Odd bit of trivia -- at least 25,000,000 1943-dated brass coins were intentionally minted at the Philadelphia mint. But they were minted for the...
Excellent prediction. Reserve not met at $14,105, which doesn't seem like an unrealistic "quick sale" price to me.
I bid $9000 for it, but a) it was under reserve, and b) I've been overbid. No surprise on either one.
