I have 6 days to go and it's bin bid up to $122.50. Last week I watched an eBay aution on the same coin end at around $153 and that coin didn't look as good as mine. Anyway, it's money I wasn't counting on and I have 10 auctions right now. Planning on buying the new Canon 5D II 21MP camera body with what I get from these sales. Then I'll take a trip somewhere! :D

Excellent!

Re: Bruce's comparison. Interesting, but the German currency had some exciting adventures between 1877 and 1938.

Maybe you could sell it and buy an iron cross, second class.

What's that got to do with what it's buying power is?

Well, running my mind over German economic history 1877 to 1938 caused me to think of World War One, hyperinflation, social turmoil, and a nasty little chap named [deleted - Goodwin's law]. Combining those ideas threw up the trivia that in the aforementioned war, the afore[un]mentioned chap earned the aforementioned medal.

Do I drift to fast for you? :p
