  1. Old books are good books. You'll have some nice reading.
  2. Totally 100% agree but it's always been about the dealer and the common collector is just fish bait. TPG's, CAC, etc. - established by and for dealers. Grading system and additives* - established by dealers for dealers. * Proof Like, Deep Mirror Proof Like, et al = ???? If it isn't a Proof it's a simple business strike no matter how pretty. New one coming soon - Semi-Proof Like. Buy that Bullion @ $75.00 an Ounce (ASE) and a year from now see how much a dealer will pay you for it. This is all done to increase the 'Premium' you can be charged. An ordinary Business Strike @ MS63 is what? Then I add DMPL to the nomenclature? Ca ching!
  3. I guess you want to know "what will be returned to you??? Your coin that you sent in in an NGC slab with a 'determination' on the label If you're not satisfied then crack it out and get a second opinion. (PCGS, ICG, ANACS, etc)
  4. Ah didn't git no privy* coins and now I was booted from this. I just don't understand it. I put the US Mint website on my favorites; shouldn't I be allowed to buy one? a toilet located in a small shed outside a house or other building; an outhouse.

  6. Ever drive through Nebraska? One huge pig farm and windows up and vents closed don't keep out the scent.
  7. No. UPMC (University of Pittsburg Medical Center) bought Lock Haven Hospital. Pretty much all I've had is UPMC now.
  8. That should be every hospital's policy. Now that you brought it up I will have that done if needed.
  9. Not that I know of. In what was, perhaps, the most publicized case of a surgical mistake in its time, a Tampa (Florida) surgeon mistakenly removed the wrong leg of his patient, 52-year-old Willie King, during an amputation procedure in February 1995.
  10. No, I was very nervous not knowing what was going to happen if doctor made a mistake.
  11. My eye was wide open and they had the left taped shut. One minute I saw and the next nothing. I was sent home with a patch over the eye and told to leave it on for 6 hours. Okay, took it off and everything in the room was sideways. Panicked and put the patch on for another six, took it off, and this time I was amazed and how brilliant and clear television was and the colors. Went back the next day and had the other eye done. Don't regret it in the least. These Lens Implants I have are guaranteed for 100 years! This was 15 years ago so I can't imagine what they can do today.
  12. The Doc used some drops pre-surgery and there was no pain or discomfort.
  13. In Europe, North, South, East and West English is the Business Language and French is the Diplomatic Language,
  14. Had both eyes done and was wide awake for it all including the implants.
  15. Could you please tell me where I can find this rule? I've never heard this before. Show me.
  16. I can understand that. I just came back after 30 years in Alaska and things were okay for the first year but... This isn't the same town I grew up in and you can't hold a candle to Alaska. Every day there is an adventure. I'm wondering what the future will hold.
