twenty five of them that needed replacing!

Very first? No, afraid not. Are you talking about a pre-production

I think nearly all run of the mill PCs of recent vintage are going to
be as collectable as circulated bicentennial quarters. Take something
really extraordinary and, preferably innovative for the time and give
it a quarter century ... you might get half your money back if you
find a collector who wants your unit. I've gone to Dell's web site
and customized a dream computer there ... price was around $15,000.00.
In the year 2030, it might be worth $7,000.00 ($500 in today's
dollars).

No, I didn't buy the $15,000 configuration. Just dreamin'

It's only 8 1/2 years old and is a mighty pentium 133, it'll last for
years yet.

I've still got the box and instructions. :-) Billy

A couple of times I have sold 100 first or last prefix Royal Bank of
Scotland £1 notes to dealers in England for £145, I got them at face
from the bank and sold them within a few days.

Could I have asked for and got more money for them? Billy

I spent some $2 bills, dollar coins and 2005 buffalo nickels at a White
Castle in New York yesterday. This caused quite a stir and competition
among the workers to buy up these denominations.
One worker said he was buying the $2 bills because "they'll be worth
something someday". I've heard this before and wonder why people think
this about coins or bills that clearly will never be worth more than
face value.
It has been disproven time and time again, but people still think it.
Everything from bicentennial quarters to $2 bills to half dollars to
state quarters to dollar coins NEVER EVER are worth more than face
value, yet there's this allure or myth of "worth something someday"
that is apparently irresistable.


Well, consider a stock held the past 40 years. If all it did was keep up
with inflation but without any tax due then it has not made a millionaire
but yet it is a very impressive chunk of value...Along those lines you need
$10,000 worth of the targeted collectable not just a few items.

Actually, I think $2 bills in uncirculated condition are very sharp. Also
look for exponents of Mersenne primes as serial numbers of uncirculated $2
bills !

Also, I think modern coins need an edge such as the proof versions or
versions mint packaged as uncirculated or first day strike versions...

Hear, hear, Cliff. I feel exactly as you do. And as I recently sold a
roll of circulated Bicentennial quarters for 3 times face ($30 for

the
roll) at auction, I have facts to support the claims.

But keep on putting your $2's and Sacagaweas and Bisons out there,
Paul. We'll be glad to cash in on your ignorance. You clearly don't
know a thing about values of modern issues.

One man's trash is another's treasure.



Ditto on that!

Slo, don't tell 'em, it's his loss! ;-)
