i'm picking up a load of 90 ikes, 400 halves and an early yoyota supra supposed to be excellent mechanically tofay. A coin that has a mechanism? would appreciate some positive chi or whatever that granola head stuff is. thanks. I bought an Alfa Romeo 6 cyl 5 speed today, drove it 300 feet, parked it and may never drive it again, I should have bought coins. Why the big coins, don't you save copper or zinc bullion? :-) This link says Gore owns a lot of zinc; http://www.junkscience.com/jun00/gorezinc.htm Joe Fischer |

"Joe Fischer" wrote in message ... I guess I was thinking of the coin ad running all the time on TV with a hinged device, but it hurts to mention the name. Saw that ad the other night. Talk about tacky....... |

I guess I was thinking of the coin ad running all the time on TV with a hinged device, but it hurts to mention the name. Good God!! I just saw that commercial for the first time yesterday. Unbelieveable!!! Talk about tacky exploitation. Can't you just picture someone at home raising that hinged piece once a year in emotional tribute? The Alfa is in ok condition, and gets good mileage for an old car, so maybe I would not have to spend my pennies to buy gas, but I like big cars (and small coins). The 140 MPH on the speedometer scared me. The speedometer on my wifes' Toyota Camry tops out at 140mph. Must help sales to men or something. Bruce |

VERY infrequently. normally i'm mr i-kow-they're-trying-to-kill-me-and-can't-see-me. Sounds like you've got the right approach. but thanks, dave. Yuppers. Looks like I was right, that noise was a conn rod. Short block should wipe my silver budget for a month or three, damn. |

If you find joy in finding a piston not where it belongs with part of a rod, and the rest of the rod on a crank, then I'd guess it's joyful. The bore is gouged pretty bad, maybe it can be sleeved. Not sure if a 16HP Kohler is up for that sort of thing. I may take this time to upgrade to as big of an engine as the hydro will handle. Guys use this tractor (JD 140/300 chassis) for garden tractor pulls around here, so I'm guessing the drivetrain is up to the extra horsepower. No idea on root cause yet, oil is new. On a coin-related topic, have you broken down the 40% halves you're finding in bags by date/mint, or do you just count 'em? Are there any varieties in them, or are the a completely uninteresting series? Dave Hinz |

Are there any varieties in them, or are the a completely uninteresting series? i meant isn't there an easier/cheaper than buying a short block? sorry for the confusion. Yeah probably but if I can bolt this head and intake onto a beefier engine, I'm going to take this chance to get a few extra horses. Haven't done any research on it yet. i have done casual surveys. 1968's are the most common and 66's least. haven't bothered with %. as a series, they are pretty dull. the only thrills are the rare 70-d's and the sms's. SMS? What is this please? i've found 11 70-d's, maybe a dozen total of the other 40% s mints. the 70-d's run from ms67 to ef 40, the other s mints ms61 to beat vf. the mint-only series seem to get a lot of wear. i would not have guessed that. Well once it's released, that shows you that people aren't looking for them. I guess that's not surprising. there are very few die cracks, or other errors. no doubling errors i've found, off metal and only 2 die clips, one a full 50%, sold for major money. one off center, 10% dated, a 65. that's all out of the silver. How in the world does a 50% clip ever circulate?!?!?! you know what the 90%'s are like. oh. abou 24 sms, mostly with wear, but one spectacular frosty i'm guessing at ms66. cameo both sides. also sold for good money. Argh. Acronym problems. The only SMS I know is Single Malt Scotch. would you believe some dumbass troll try to deride me for making money on bullion to get my new care for cheap? dumb..... Lovely. There's always one. Why in the world would someone have a problem with someone who looks through coins & picks out the good ones? Sheesh. Oh - about that - regarding pennies - "the mechanism" works. Admirably. If I hadn't been tearing down a tractor engine I would have got the final tweaks in but right now, zero false-hits and only a few false-rejects. |
