There were actually stories in all major newspapers talking about how the No Cents nickels were worth $5. Now, what happened is they confused the...
If I only collected perfect coins, I would not own a single sogdian piece. I agree with this, you know the coins and buy what you can buy if you...
Lol, the "armed guards" had someone walk up on them, but "couldn't give police a description of the gunmen". Man, it just keeps getting deeper and...
I think the key is not that its LED lighting, but what kind of LED and what lumens. Try to stick to "daylight bulbs", as they will more accurately...
I used $4,000,000/$1200/31*454 which gave me a similar answer. I just used estimates to see how many ounces, take it back to grams, and back into...
