    Welcome to the forum.
    Based on your own words, you don’t have the funds or the knowledge to start a business. Interest and enthusiasm are great, but you you’ll need a lot more than that.

    ldhair reacted to RWB in does ebay actually do anything to bad sellers??   
    Until a few years ago ebay employed a retired teaching nun (Sister Brutus from the Order of the Sisters of St. Bernard) who was sent out to give malefactors a sharp wack on the hand  (or neck) with her wooden ruler. I recall reading that Sister Brutus quit after breaking a gross of rulers and wearing out her custom-made steel toed jackboots. She then took a job with the Greenbay Packers as left tackle. At 375 lbs she could make quite an impression on the field. (The silver cross she wore with the sharpened upright might also have contributed to her success.)
    ....or maybe it was a different nun....

    Based on the way the question was posed, it didn’t sound like the poster had any basis for thinking the coin should/would upgrade. So that gamble could have a nice potential payout, but only an extremely slim chance of success.

    ldhair reacted to DWLange in 1960-D penny SM date multiple die clashes   
    The squiggly line through ONE CENT is indeed a die crack, one that led to chipping at the top of the letter O. There's no corresponding feature of Lincoln's bust in that part of the coin. The other flaws may be die clashing, but the photos aren't sharp enough to say for certain.

    ldhair reacted to RWB in From Mine to Mint   
    The FMTM CD comes with the book - it's not sold separately. (If you bought a new copy from a book seller it would have had the CD inside the clear shrink wrap, with the CD label facing outward. The CD has some ugly colors on the label. This makes it easy to see if someone broke up the original package to illicitly sell the CD separately.)
    It includes a full resolution PDF of the book, and a low resolution version for phones and similar small-scree devices. It is searchable by any word, phrase or combination of words or number the users desires. In effect, it is a word-by-word index in electronic format.

    From Mine to Mint is the best book I have bought in many years. The searchable CD turned the book into a great tool for me. It's fun to be able to zoom in and study one subject.
