I don't think any houses have been lost since Tuesday or Wednesday. There are still plenty of hot spots and small to medium fires on the...
That is what is called a 'BIE' Lincoln. The 'I' between the 'B' and 'E' was caused by a die chip. 'BIE' Lincolns were fairly common in the 1950s....
You're right. Poor choice of words. Sorry about that. I cannot edit my post for some reason but I will reword it when I am able to.
Another person affected by the Waldo Canyon Fire is The Penny Lady®. Yesterday Rick Snow told me Charmy had cancelled and will not attend Week II....
I will probably not be able to attend Week II of Summer Seminar due to the Waldo Canyon Fire. I do disaster inspections for FEMA and I have been...

Check out my thread: http://www.cointalk.com/t207601/ We plan to have a get-together for CoinTalk members at lunch on Sunday. Hope you can make it.

Seach the threads here for "strike doubling", "machine doubling", etc. Some of the threads have good explanations of how strike doubling (aka...
Or (as I pointed out above) look for a seam around the rim where the pieces were joined together. (It is pretty hard to make the seam look right...
