  1. Kubric upset several people, as he is want to do. He rejected the entire commissioned score, for the most part, and used existing classical music, such as the Blue Danube. Arthur C Clark was terribly upset and walked out at intermission at the premiere, when he saw large gaps in the fleshed out --script as collaborated between he and Kubrik..
  2. Quite the methodology of sellers, but I suppose that is the nature of the business, like any other. For example, the other day, in a used car lot, there was an '80s mustang that had enormous, extremely shiny, chrome mag wheels out in front and center. Yes, I have seen cashiers unable to go beyond the display of their machine and I have had to explain how much change that I needed to be given when paying in cash. More than once has this occurred. I have heard that there are considerations to not have any sort of exams to gauge education levels for graduation. A sad state of affairs. I have a strong mathematics background. In VA, every HS student participated in a math\trig\calc(ulus) exam. I scored in the top 20 and as such, the 20 spent the summer at Langley Reaserch Center Nasa, studyng with various departments, by pair, such as astrophysics, aerodynamics, etc. I worked with 2 meteorologists, studying computer aided aviation design. We saw and toured the initial design works of the shuttle (1975).
  3. There are quite a few very good recommendations. I have not quoted responses due to the length. The advice to learn more about the coins themselves is something that I will certainly entertain. @powermad5000, I assume that "raw" are loose coins and not in jewel cases. Yes, I am referring to "raw". Also, thank you for the warnings. Most probably are not aware of easy counterfeiters. I am somewhat hesitant to purchase at shops, as some people are not up front or honest. Most certainly, there are those that will be honest @EagleRJO However, learning more about the coins, especially true market value, would be extremely helpful. I would assume that there would be opportunies to purchase coins a bit less then those values. @GoldFinger1969 This is what I am looking for. A reference to an alternative source. On a side note, there is already a username of HAL9000. While 2001ASO is most certainly a classic movie, the knowledge would generally show someones age. I saw it in the theatres when it was released. Again, thank you very much for your time and effort to respond.
  4. I have some interest in gathering a barber series collection. I have a few, but am interested in adding to the collection. Nothing expensive, rare or high grade. I know of ebay, of course, but I am looking for other potential options. Thank you for any advice.
