for what the value of the silver alone, coinflation.com will give you silver value

emerald coins is a local coinshop to give numismatic value...

Morgans? Peace? Ikes? If they are Morgans (like the one in my pic) look for a CC mint mark on the reverse below the wreath. Most any CC Morgan is valuable. There are other years/mint marks that are extremely valuable too.

Peace dollars, the ugliest coin made IMHO, have some that are valuable, any 1921 and a few others but Morganland are where most collectable coins live.

Ikes, or Eisenhower dollars have little collectable value. Most are copper/nickel and contain no silver. The ones that do contain silver are only 40% so. I'm not a fan of coins with real people on them but the Ike's reverse is cool, especially the one depicting the moon landing.

John, if you'd like me to look at the coins I can tell you which ones have collector value and would warrant further appraisal. Like anything collectable, condition is everything.

Thanks Rick. I will probably take you up on that when this job is over (maybe end of April). Working 12 days on and two off out of town doesn't leave time for much. These are all older stuff, no Peace or Ikes. It's been 3 years or so since I looked at them and don't remember that much detail.

Been listening to this podcast today while driving around. Been pretty interesting so far, thought I'd share.

Three shooters in body armor and a bomb found. Can you say "Allah Akbar"?

Now, you'll get flooded with cat pics, feel good quotes and too much information from people you don't like.

I'll look you up when I get home.

Now you have to be everyone's friend, post anything and everything that you are thinking (all the time, no matter what it is, what others may think, etc.), "like" and "share" everything you see, be sure to post some sort of political rant/rambling every single day, post pictures of every meal you eat, and be sure to tell everyone you know how much you hate everything about facebook.

That should get you started.

Sent a friend's request.

Just came in the mail today. Regularly $39.99, bought on sale Thanksgiving day at $24.99 and ending up costing me w/tax $11.49 due to some Amazon gift cards I had.

 

[Seanpcola]

You're gonna love it Ross! I don't have the Firestick but similar.

 

[Ross7]

I hope so. It's my first foray into streaming devices. I originally only got interested in getting one because I wanted to watch that new Amazon series The Man in the High Castle on my TV (I don't like "watching TV" on/at my computer). Fortunately I was able to snag it at a good price.

Yep, same here. I did watch a lot of TV on my tablet when my wife was in the hospital but it's not the same as watching a bigger screen in comfort. Problem is gonna be when you go exploring Amazon, Hulu and Netflix and get brain locked with too many choices.

Yep, I can foresee that happening. A couple weeks ago I finally got around to exploring the Amazon Prime I got during the one day sale day back in Sept. Started out looking at their collection of movies and somehow ended up buying my first ever Kindle book, "The Germans in Normandy", for 99 cents.:redface:
