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...
Got a call today from one of the tellers I've talked to, saying someone just brought in $100 worth of halves. I was pretty sure it was someone...
I just saw someone list a roll of silver Washingtons on eBay for $190 with free shipping, 10% off even this evening's depressed spot price. It...
I just opened a yellow envelope from the bottom of my childhood coin-collection box. It was apparently a pouch of five BU Lincoln cents; I guess I...
Talk about "resistance at $30" -- this morning, it looks like a floor, not a ceiling! Sharp drop from a high of 30.66 to 29.82, but right back up...
You're right. I've been putting it off longer than I should have -- I'd be really disappointed if it sold out before I could order.
Heh. A fivefold drop in the dollar's value, or a fivefold rise in copper and nickel, and current clad dimes/quarters/halves become "bullion" worth...
What? We're discussing constant inflation. Given constant inflation, you can predict exactly the cost of a good at any point in the future. That's...
You're describing asymptotic growth, not exponential (geometric) growth. If the inflation rate is a constant 2%, the price of a good will double...
Separate names with a comma.
