I wish I had known him better but we all have so little time. We shared a great number of interests. As a poster here and elsewhere I didn't...
Small mintage, different design, and better hidden to get into circulation. What's not to love?
I poked through a couple hundred 1980 souvenir sets in that gift shop. I bought only eight or ten but would have bought a lot more had I known...
A few years back ('21?) I looked for a nice BU zinc of the current date in circulation just as a project. I looked at hundreds of coins from...
Moderns coins don't get no respect. Even without the TV assassins there would be limited value because people just quit collecting coins in 1965...
'55-S rolls come extremely nice, '54-S not so much. I've opened rolls of the '55-S where virtually every coin is a solid Gem.
The above post led to an interesting conversation with Copilot from which this emerged; Humans flourish by acting. AI flourishes by processing....
Yes. AI "merely" substitutes words. But this is where it's showing its power because it tends to substitute words that are more correct. It's...
This is a very highly complex question with no simple answers. Coins wear differently depending on size weight, and the specific conditions and...
Copilot already exceeds the turing test. I can still trick it into acting like a machine but otherwise it can pass. I would define "intellience"...
Indeed! Exactly true. We mistake thought for intelligence. I think therefore I am. I believe we're going to be able to use our thinking...

Copilot (last post as prompt)- You’re describing something most people sense about AI but rarely articulate cleanly: you’re not “using a tool,”...
I use AI differently than most. Rather than requests and questions I mostly just ask to to elaborate statements that reflect my thinking and it...
Those tiny mintages (24,000) can really suck you in. I can only imagine the difficulty of assembling a VF and better set of these. The '93...
...And they are bigger than the great pyramids! My AI (copilot) suggests; "The scale is impressive enough without importing anything from space.".
Most people want blast white. It's the same with moderns. Most retailers won't send out even the most attractively toned coins because too many...
Many many bags of silver dollars were dipped in the '70's and '80's when most came out of storage. I'm told that dealers were buying dip by the...
I used to do this with things like '21-S dollars but I never gathered enough information and experience. So I moved into a field where I had no...
Sounds almost funicular. o_O
