  1. Ditto... Gut feeling based on very little experience. I would suspect, however, that a coin that has been bronzed would NOT display any luster (lustre). I think it might also display a slightly different surface texture. Whereas a coin as struck, would display some natural luster, at least until it disappears with handling or age.
  2. I would suspect using cpu resources first.
  3. It might be in contention for Best Line of the Year...
  4. Being an Emperor would trump Trump being only a President... Maybe the the etymological root of 'trample' is actually 'trump'. As in the following. "The Emperor exhorted the populace to 'trumple' over the Senate."
  5. I had a problem last time I had to upload images. Secret Santa posted them for me....
  6. As I'm still looking for an example, I would be content if I had found it. More convincing than the superpoor possible VIGTORIA that I found a while back..
  7. Just so long as that they don't go a bridge to far...
  8. The end of civilization as we knew it...
  9. For some reason I am unable to upload the images.... I'll keep trying...
  10. As a regular seller, I am sure you are aware of the following, but I restate it for the record.. There are a many added fees for additional services which, IF you use them can add up very rapidly (ie: bold, picture paks, highlighted, additional country site, etc.). On a lower priced item, these fees can vastly increase your cost percentage. These fees are less likely to be as obvious nor skew your percentages on a higher priced sale. Another factor to consider is the cost of listing and relisting items that do not sell the first time around. It's very easy to jack your costs up with little or no appreciative added value to your gross sale. The fees only serve to cut into your net profit and/or increase your expenses.
  11. It would still have me going in circles... Or is it the upward spiral of technology..
  12. Having seen, heard of, or experienced situations such as you described, my general mantra has been: 'When you have a situation that needs professional advice, seek a professional. And even then, get a second opinion.' Unfortunately, too much gets by even the experts....
  13. It wasn't listed as an F-25... I missed seeing the missing colon dots though...
  14. Correct, neither upper or lower curve of the 3 would be considered to be open..
  15. IMHO, Absolutely correct. NOT an open 3
  16. From the posted images I would concur with your identification and assessment.
  17. You're correct Pete, inasmuch as it was the N in ONE... Reverse D both uprights point to teeth Reverse E the uprights point to a gap Unfortunately, as I indicated in my original post, if the border is so worn that the position of the 1 cannot be determined, the same problem will probably exist regarding the uprights of the N.
  18. Unless I am misremembering, I vaguely recall reading something about an alternative method of identifying an F-169. Regretfully I do not have any way of determining my original source of that information. I believe that it might have had something to do with the position of one of the N's in PENNY. Unfortunately, in many instances, if the date was too worn to determine the position of the 1, the same situation existed for the lettering in PENNY. As I stated in the beginning, I might be merely misremembering, simply incorrect, or just delusional...
