  • This probably wouldn't work, but it is interesting to think about this

    Only for the sake of imagination:

    Suppose that idsoftware was a public corporation. Suppose that I bought some shares from idsoftware. Games such as Wolf 3D, Doom, Quakes 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been very successful over the years. Rage has gotten some good reviews as well. There is a good chance that idsoftware makes a lot of profit. So buying shares from idsoftware wouldn't be a bad idea.

    But then again, idsoftware might not be an excellent solution. One could take a huge risk and buy some shares from Company X. Let's say that Company X was mining for gold in Australia.

    Money is funny. You know what I mean? In today's economy, some people are willing to do anything to make an extra buck. What am I talking about? Maybe, just maybe, idsoftware would be an economic solution. But then again, I am very bored right now.

          I read today that a (USA) silver nickel is made of $1.84 worth of silver. Get to finding!

            I find silver dimes all the time. The easiest way to tell if something is made of Silver? Drop it along with another coin of the same value, they have extremely different sounds.


            On another note, ZOP likes Pizza too!!

              It's even easier to look at the sides of coins and see if there's a line of copper missing.

                Zop, that's the primary method I use - just look on the side and see if there's copper.

                Pre 1964 Roosevelt dimes are 90% silver and are worth $2.34 as of today.
                Pre 1982 Pennies are 95% copper
                Pre 1964 Quarters are 90% silver


                I like this website:

                  Something I don't see a lot of now days is wheat pennies Even less often, steel pennies during the war effort.

                        Well, I got these and thats it...




                        I dug them out to remember what they was , when I noticed that about 400 of 550-600+ MTG cards had molded/failed/are worth shit now. Lovely. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't dug for those fn coins ha ha ha. Ah well, shit happens bro. The coins however was apparently saved by the cards , not much issues with the coins.

                            fuck yeah bro. <3 MTG

                            Favorite combo's are ;

                            Royal Assassin + Icy Manipulator

                            Pegasus Storm + Day of Dragons

                            I am hoping that all of my expensive cards are still tucked away inside a fucking 3 ring binder somewhere,and did not suffer the same fate. I had some Revised/Alliances/ and other set's from back in the day,that are worth moneys (or not) , depending on my luck SHITBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLS.
