It's almost as though both commodities fluctuate in value. Along with all others.
Hmm. I guess if I had to rank them according to "do they really belong in a set", I'd say: 2021 dollars -- right dimensions, right metal 2014...
Ugh. I forget, did they add the 2014 gold Kennedy commem to the Kennedy registry set? The 2016 commems to the Mercury dime, SLQ, and Walker sets?
I can't help thinking that you're working too hard here. Don't model the planchet as a flowing fluid. Think of it as a solid object being hit by a...
It's not "lazy" to prioritize your time. If you work long hours because you find it rewarding, more power to you. If you work long hours just to...
Sometimes it does, and the luster patterns follow. I'm thinking particularly of the Mercury Dime reverse, although I'm having trouble coming up...
No, I mean, why should you work more time than you want to earn more money than you need? If you love your job, fine, I guess -- but many (most?)...
It's all getting too hypothetical to be of use, I guess, but: More chatoyant ("lustrous") coins would come from dies with more flow lines. The...

Coin metal moves in the direction of the grooves. Any grit on the surface of the planchet gets dragged along the face of the die in the same...
But the flow lines on coins do mark the actual flow of matter across the die. That makes ocean waves a poor analogy. A better one is land being...
What's wrong with that?
Oh, I'd never use a basket. Tongs, or maybe a soft net.
Heh. I think my problem is that I got all distracted by the "plants need oxygen" question. The quick response is "no, no, plants make oxygen" --...
Heck, I'm old, and that's still where my mind went.
With some exceptions, like buffalo nickels and UHR Saints, right?
Good link, citing precedent. Like it or not, we have to acknowledge it.
I'm no lawyer, but from what I've seen, you can try this -- and you'll end up in the company of plenty of others who had the same idea, hosted at...
Separate names with a comma.
