Woo-hoo! I can't wait to hear the outcome ... I hope you get that AU50 you seem to be aiming for ... regardless of the grade, if it comes back...
I don't mean to imply that my time is more valuable than anyone else's, and I certainly didn't mention prestige ... But I do resent "customers"...
Buy a BU one and carry it in your pocket for a while.
If this happens to me and another customer interrupts, I politely say "I'm sorry, I'll be with you in a moment after we finish our discussion, or...
I like that Kennedy half! (and others too)

Wow, what an impressive debut on this forum. Welcome aboard! Glad to hear some new literate folks out there.

Mathematicians used to use it at the end of rigorous proofs. It's Latin for quod erat demonstrandum, "that which was to be demonstrated (has been...
Not all proofs are shiny ... it's much more complicated than that. The early gold of the 20th century was produced in a matte or sandblast finish...
