They are "good" if they appeal to you as being attractive objects.
But they are very poor investments. Traditional philatelists
(stamp collectors) don't want them, and they have virtually no resale value.

These days a lot of the commemorative coins have surcharges tacked on
for fund-raising purposes.  The market will often ignore these surcharges
later on, because they have little to do with the coin's actual value.
Thus, these coins will sometimes trade at below the original issue price.

This doesn't apply as much to bullion coins, which the original discussion
was about.  However, the U.S. Mint does seem to overcharge a bit for
bullion too.

Hi Marc,

I'm reading this newsgroup for the first time, so this reply to your
question may be very late in coming. What you're looking for is the
so-called "Blue Sheet" which is published weekly by the Coin Dealer
Newsletter (CDN) of Torrence, CA. The Blue Sheet gives prices for the more
popular series' (like Morgan's, Walkers, Buffalo's, etc.) as well as
type coins from PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and (I believe) others. A yearly
subscription is VERY expensive, but I just saw an ad in the Numismatic
News in which the CDN would sell a one-time issue of the current price
lists which should satisfy your needs. The price was $7.50 and you get
one issue each of:

	- The Coin Dealer Newsletter Weekly (weekly trends for U.S. coins)
	- The Currency Dealer Newsletter (paper money)
	- The Certified Coin Dealer Newsletter (the "Blue Sheet")
	- The CDN Monthly Summary (a monthly summary of U.S. collector's coins)

I'd recommend calling the Coin Dealer Newsletter and mentioning the $7.50
offer listed in Numismatic News. (Sorry, I don't have the phone #.) As for
population info, you can get this info but I belive it's also very expensive.
I'd ask a reputable dealer about this...

NNTP-Posting-Host: grayling.cs.berkeley.edu

Hello,

My Grandfather recently passed away and left me his coin collection.
I've come across a "Hoover Dam Memorial" medal in his collection that
I can't seem to find any information about. I was hoping someone might
be able to tell me something about it.

The piece is a medal of slightly larger diameter and thickness than a
morgan dollar, and although it LOOKS like gold it seems too light to
me to be solid gold. The obverse has the legend: "THEY LABORED THAT
OTHERS MIGHT SEE A BRIGHTER DAY" around the circumference and the
obverse devices consist of two men on a scaffolding working on the dam.
The reverse has the legend: "HOOVER DAM GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY" around the
circumference and the reverse devices consist of a bird's eye view of
the completed dam and the lettering: "1935    50th    1985". The coin
has a reeded edge.

What I'd like to know is whether this piece was minted at one of the U.S.
mints, or whether it was struck privately. Also, I'd like to know the
composition of the piece, and whether it has any numismatic value beyond
raw bullion content. Thanks for any info you can provide,

Fred

Over the Christmas holiday, while visiting my parents
in the Midwest, I had the opportunity to peruse my
late grandfather's stamp collection.  Among the 
miscellanea were about two dozen airflight and navy
covers from 1929-53.  These covers commemorate (inter
alia) the launching of ships/submarines, fleet exer-
cises (incl. one bearing the cachet and postmark of
the famous aircraft carrier USS Lexington, ca. 1933),
Charles and Ann Lindbergh's aerial survey of four
continents (ca. 1933), and various first flights,
also Byrd's Antarctic expedition.

My question: The philatelic catalogues available
to me (Scott's, Bowman, Blackbook Price Guide) do not
list such material.  What source should I consult to
determine what (if any) value these covers might have?

Thanks.

Can you talk about the relationship between hardness and rebound? My
assumption was that the reason that one wanted to use 74As on rough surfaces
was that their rebound was *lower* than the higher-durometer wheels.

I guess my point is that skaters may be more concerned about the rebound than
the literal hardness of the wheel, even if that isn't what the durometer
measurment is directly reporting.

Also, can you tell us what the meaning is for durometer ratings greater than
100?

The other Fun Fact I know about durometer, from the former head of R&D at
Kryptonics, is that the hardness of a wheel is highly temperature-sensitive. A
10-degree F shift in temperature will radically change the
performance/handling characteristics of wheels.

Finally, Kryptonics has a disclaimer on its new wheels warning people that
polyurethane wheels are not intended for speeds over 30MPH. Does anyone know
anything about this? What is their concern, or is this a fiat to avoid
liability? If nobody knows, I'll ask around...
