I just can't get over these low-four-figure mintages for MS. It seems to me that they would be likely to appreciate even more than the proofs. Am...
20 rolls of halves from the bank that told me they had two boxes from their supplier, then told me they didn't. All CWR; all pre-searched. Nada....
I'm guessing it'll be a while before I see them. Here are links if you're curious: 0.001g 30g Digital Milligram Gram Scale Balance Weight...
I love to see hard numbers. :) I just ordered a pair of scales from cBay (as I call the cheap Hong Kong importers on eBay), one 300g x 0.01g and...
I think the prophets of that period were too fixated on "chips" and "implants". I suppose one can hardly blame them, having just been vouchsafed a...
GOLD-BONDED -- well, at least it won't be itchy!
First bank: 4 loose halves, 1 40%. Next bank: 3 halves, all clad. Next: none. Next: no loose ones, but $440 in the vault from their...
I get charged 7.75% sales tax here, because localities can impose levies as well. We already round things just to get to the nearest penny....
Couldn't say. The source I used (http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/250.html) doesn't break out the bottom 50%, which in 2008 earned 12.75% of...
To get back to the OP's original question, I picked the Canon 100mm, because I got a good deal on a used one. I've shot with an original...
I'm a little puzzled. Why do you change the f-stop for different coin sizes?
For comparison, the top 1% of earners earn 20% of the total income, and the top 5% earn about 35%. In concrete terms, using 2008 numbers, a person...
Whoa! Try using something between F/8 and F/11. If you're really using F/26, you're losing a lot of detail due to diffraction. I use a Canon...
I'm sorry for the tone of my initial response; rereading it, it sounds kind of hostile, and I didn't mean it that way. I'm talking about the...
I'd love to, but those last two graphs make it nearly impossible to tell what the starting figures are. Without that, I can't tell a thing. Do...
Aw, man, you aren't doing this on the west side of RTP, are you? :)
I'm full of regret over my last bank visit -- I was there to buy a bunch of half dollars (which turned out to contain nothing interesting), but...
Wow -- it almost looks like it was shrunken (http://www.capturedlightning.com/frames/shrinkergallery.htm).
If silver goes below $3.38, the value of silver in a 40% coin drops below the coin's face value. If silver goes below $1.38, the value of silver...
One silver dime, as minted, weighs 2.5 grams. Heavily circulated, they lose some weight, perhaps up to 10% in an AG specimen, or so I gather from...
Separate names with a comma.
