I disagree (surprise!). Yeah, chess is a discrete problem, with a finite set of solutions. But that set is really really REALLY huge. The number...
I'm guessing that the communication from the buyer might be grounds for getting eBay to remove any negative feedback they leave.
Coinflation says $6.1275 for a quarter, 24.5x face value. It was a bit higher earlier today; they're showing silver at $33.88, where before I...
I'm not gonna generalize about which generations are more likely to ask for handouts. I am sorely tempted to generalize about which generations...
Heh. I spent my teenage years in Lynchburg, and don't miss the place at all. Our rival high school was E C Glass. I thought maybe it was named...
But if the grade assigned to a coin depends on how the grader feels at that particular moment... how is that a good thing? How I feel about a...
I have a really hard time judging features like that (two fairly-high-relief curved surfaces) where there isn't consistent lighting.
Gotta love it. Reminds me of the pawn shop I found selling 1964 Kennedy halves for $5 each, when melt was in the $7-8 range. Some of their halves...
I don't recall "defective units returned to Mint and destroyed" being called out in any official mintage figures, for what that's worth. Cutting...
I hope you're right! I'm still a little nervous about the light weight, but I did see this on Wikipedia (of all places): Not my go-to source for...
I was just going to guess that the privy-mark listings were people who hoped to get one, and would cancel the sale if they didn't. But if PCGS...
NOT a gold expert, and these small pieces are even harder than most. I was nervous about that weak bow, especially on a Philly strike -- it...
I'm guessing the Mint is (unpleasantly) surprised, too, after all they did to encourage a scramble (TWO levels of lucky scratch-off lottery, AND a...
But-but-but if people weren't trampling each other to get them, and there weren't thousands of disappointed customers who couldn't get in, how...
If you click on the "1" at the bottom of the page, it'll take you back to the first page of the thread, where there's a great definition.
I've seen that happen, but I've also seen mods post to threads containing it without commenting or taking action. I'm guessing it's way down on...
This guy gets it. :) If you're doing it for fun, it doesn't matter "how much you make per hour". For entertainment, the question is how much it...
What?! Okay, maybe it's only worth face value to you, and that's perfectly fair. By the same reasoning, to most of the public, a silver dime or...
50 pounds of copper cents is about $75 face value, right? How much time did you have to spend sorting and separating them to turn that into an...
And yet people are buying all day long at 2xFV or more. I don't see the attraction of buying them at that level today, but if I were sitting on a...
Separate names with a comma.
