Saw this on another group. Perhaps someone can use it. You should try the gimp (yes its a funny name). The gimp is probably the most powerful image editing software you can get; better than Paint Shop & Photoshop, IMHO. Its uses are endless but for even simple uses it is the best. And best of...

If you have a chance to browse thru Coin World Magazine, you ought to take a look at the "letters to the editor" . Without fail, 80% of the letters are written by men ranting out some pitiful injustice and how much they suffered because of it. The other 20% are clueless dorks that are so...

Beware of a very official looking email that looks like it is coming from Ebay asking you to go to a site to fill in information to update their files. I knew it was a scam since I'm not even registered with Ebay under this email address.

Home of the Coin Abuse Bureau. ;-) In a week of operating the US National Table Tennis Championships, I got a fair share of casino time, in the end coming out about $100 to the good. (I'm a very small plunger. ;-) I also saw some numismatic abuse that was awesome in its intensity. At the...

Here's another roll searching story. I found an otherwise pretty 2000-D Sackie where someone had tooled off one of the 13 stars on the reverse. 'Twas a crude job, a large blob of tool marks three times the size of the star, plainly visible on the otherwise mirror-like field. FWIW it was the star...

You know, getting back to...
