    Never Forget.

    Even air traffic control had bad information. Salt Lake center reported something along the lines of “ a bomb has gone off at the World Trade Center and someone blew up the Whitehouse”. The first accurate information we received was from an AM radio station and trucker chatter on cab radios.

    How is everyone's garden this year? Getting ready to pick my first tomatoes...

    Here in Texas we’ve done pretty well this year. Lots of tomatoes, but now that the temperatures are above 90, I expect production to fall way back. Have pickled 8 quarts of dill cucumbers, and about the same of bread and butter jalapeños. We’ve gotten plenty of zucchini’s and squash which...

    Chicago Travel Suggestions

    The Museum of Science and Industry has a B727-100 on display inside. The interesting part of the display is the video of the aircraft being landed at old Meigs field. When you see the jet and realize they landed it on a 3900’ runway, it’s hard not to be impressed. it was later put on a barge...

    Any numismatics on here?

    State College coin shop web site says that they buy on Mondays or with an appointment. I’d take a couple of your “nice” rolls or some uncirculated coins in and see what you can get. While you’re there, ask about their interest in some of your other stuff. once you know what they are paying...

    Any numismatics on here?

    Where are you located? I assume the loose coins in bags are all in circulated condition. Those would probably be purchased either by weight ( for the Pennie’s) or by ratio of face valu to price ($1 face value: $15-$19 price). Older nickels in this condition can also be sold by weight. as far...

    Any numismatics on here?

    Look up Monument Metals online , search under the silver tab and you will find hat they are selling 50 & 90% US silver coins, in circulated condition for about $20 per $1 of face value.
