If the quarter was dated 1958, it was 90% silver, containing roughly .18 ounce of that metal. If it had been "traveling" 22 years, that would make the time in the clip 1980, in which year the film is set. In 1980, the average price of silver was $20.63 (from an intraday high of $50.35 on Jan 18, 1980), which means that quarter was worth about $3.71, on average, during that year. The US Gov't stopped producing silver quarters for circulation in 1965 (or 1966; the records aren't entirely clear), but here's the trick: they had been continuing, on an emergency basis, to date these quarters (and dimes and halves) 1964. This was in "violation" of Federal law, which said coins had to be dated the year they were struck, but the mint was under orders from Treasury, and they set that aside for those years. Not relevant, but interesting. The takeaway is that all US quarters, halves, and dimes dated 1964 or earlier were silver. The Mint also introduced the cupro-nickel clad coins, which contain no silver (dime and quarter) and halves (40% silver until 1970.) By the mid-70's, it was difficult to find silver coins in circulation. By 1979, due to the spike in silver prices, it was essentially impossible. So, I doubt Anton would have given that convenience store owner a 1958 quarter as a quarter in 1980, and I don't think he would have been unaware of its value. Or....maybe he did, and that was what the shopkeep won.

There had to have been some serious calibrating going on to make that. It's amazing how creative and inventive people can be.

Rock- blue is a total person_too_unaware_of_social_graces to do business with... I wouldn't worry about his comments too much

Superconductivity and superfluidity are fascinating concepts. It's frustrating as hell not being able to think on the level these guys do.

Hey Blowie...are you across the street?

Don't worry about it; you and I will never do business, on ebay, on here, anywhere.

Yeah. If you don't sell often, they basically hold your money to make sure you're not a scammer or whatever in case there's a problem with the sale. I had the same thing happen to me on my first half-dozen or so sales. I guess I understand that but... bro how do post you tubes directly on here? I was trying to figure it out earlier and gave up.

Go in the sink. Or the shower. All end up in the same place. Why do they have 7 rolls of TP on the toilet? Bad runs?

Fro's overtaken me in the post count again.

Why isn't it in spoiler tags? The DFJ, moderation threads, and eBay blocked bidder threads are exempt.

It's a wormhole!!!

I did not "hump the button" or notify on anyone. I simply decided to get out of this thread. But rather than let people speculate as to my intent or actions, felt a response was needed. Which is it? You decided to get out of this thread, or that a response was needed? It cannot be both. I have more to say, but I will save it for the moderation threads, where these things can be discussed. I am not allowed to respond further, because: notify.

Good to know. What other issues were in that BGF 4-pack set? 'Tec Annual 8, Catwoman Annual 2 and LOTDK 50. 2 of the 3 are on the DCU list, with the exception being LOTDK 50, which is a shame because that would be an awesome variant.

And the answer to that is "yes." Wow.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED RMA--- your single comment quote has this guy convinced I both hate you and that my only thought is you are wasting your time. Well played. God forbid they read the very next line in the original-- nope-- no need, let RMA edit it down to what he feels are the important points. ridiculous and not what I said at all. You are overreacting, and calling MustEatBrains incapable of reading your post for himself and coming to his own conclusions. That's not reasonable.
