Precious metals and coinage

I have found a couple web sites that have good info if you want to follow precious metals as well as commodity metals [copper, aluminum, lead, steel etc]

First is one to determine the value of metals in coins. They have the actual amount of metals and their value in every coin the US has ever minted. really interesting.

Then for daily spot prices, there is KitCo. They have many interesting charts as well.

I want to follow these a bit more closely because of the eroding value of the US dollar.

Read and enjoy.

Two Weeks worth of stuff

Well, I have been home now 2 weeks, and slowly am making progress on the house & especially the upstairs. Have made several trips down to the basement carrying boxes, and it is about thinned out in my bedroom. I still have trouble wandering back and forth as I run across items that I am not quite sure where or when to pack.

Was also going thru my boxes of letters from high school and college, lots of memories there. Started feeling a bit melancholy about the whole of my life since 18, just wish I had not made the poor choices and ended up with these consequences.

Oh well

Tired out, so will close up tonight.
