Thinking about a post I made over at My Box Is Warm about things gone missing like thumb/flash drives I remembered a cool little one I came across.
These USB Flash Drives are made by a company I never heard of called LaCie, a quick search shows they specialize in external hard drives. Although a 7.5TB hard drive sounds cool I liked these little 8GB and 4GB flash drives pictured below.
For $29.99 and $19.99, for the 8GB and 4GB respectively, it's not a bad value for style but seeing how some people can't tell the difference between U.S. nickels and Spanish 20 Euro cents I don't think these will become common. Just a few months ago both were listed $5.00 cheaper so maybe if the have a sale it will be a good opportunity.Check out how these drives blend with the Euros.
If I had a budget or if this blog were something more than informative I would get one of each and fill them up with the coin books I can purchase in .pdf format along with a complete list of legit coin websites built into a modified Firefox browser made for collectors. Portable OpenOffice with spreadsheets ready for a simple entry to organize your personal collection or install one of those professional coin software programs. Then do some sort of giveaway.But alas I won't!
Do you have any type of money and want to know its value? Leave a question or comment and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
hey, I have a token. Is it worth anything?

ReplyDeleteThose are cool... I like the drives where they've been embedded in a Lego brick, or a piece of wood.
ReplyDeleteLaCie seem OK, as I've got one of their 500GB external USB drives, and it's been fine, with no problems at all.

ReplyDeleteThis is a fairly new local token and as far as I can tell has no value listed. Local tokens for business average about $1.00 but it would take years or some local research to find out how many and why these were given out.
I also got these too:

1.A Nuclear Age Metal-Zirconium-Wah Chang Albany-A Teledyne Company
ReplyDeleteThis is a sample coin from a metal company, in the 1970s a person requesting a catalog would get these coins as samples and "test chips" to do experiments if requested. If you also have the test chips and catalog all together it would be $50+ as a collection but the coin if Hexagonal is about $15.00 the round coin is a little less.
2. It has strange writing, but it says 1960-1380-20?
Sounds like a Muslim country since 1380 is the Islamic equal to 1960. I'll wait for a scan.

Here are the tokens i forgot to scan:
ReplyDeleteWhich sega center coin is more valuable?
the dirty yellowish one or the clear one.
http://s471.photobucket.com/albums/rr76/packinheat2u/?action=view¤t=scan0001-1.jpg
and the reverse. The sega center coins are the same on both sides.

Hey, how much in value are U.S. Morgan Silver dollars from the 1860s-1870s.
ReplyDeleteWhich sega center coin is more valuable?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately they all are about $1.00.
Tokens from arcades generally don't have that much value. The NO CASH VALUE tokens are standard and also not special.
U.S. Morgan Silver dollars from the 1860s-1870s.
Morgan dollars start in 1878 and average about $25.00 depending on year and mintmark.
Before that they were Seated Dollars at about $300.00 or Trade dollars at about $175.00.
Either way it is depending on year and mintmark.
I'm thinking of buying a pack of almost uncirculated mercury dimes dating from 1916-1945. Is it worth buying? Are Mercury dimes valuable enough for me to buy them?
ReplyDeletealmost uncirculated mercury dimes
ReplyDeleteIf graded or you actually see they are AU they would be about $6.00 each and is a good investment because silver is always great.
It's always better to get a single high quality coin then a bunch of lower quality coins.
That said buying lots at a bargain price is fine.
If i were to buy a 1 dollar silver certificate, how much would it's value be on average?
ReplyDelete1 dollar silver certificate, how much would it's value be on average?
ReplyDeleteAbout $2.50 again grading is a factor.
Silver certificates varies from $2.50 for most but the key serial numbers go as high as $2,000.
I got a French coin from 1977. I franc. What would you say it's worth.
ReplyDeleteI also got a John Adams 1 dollar coin 2007D. What would you say that's worth?
I got a 1940 "S" wheat penny. How much would you say it's worth? normally g-4 maybe.
ReplyDeletecould you please tell me how much it would be worth if it were normal used penny, because i got the stupid idea last year to scratch it up with an open paper clip. So now, you can barely see any the "liberty" and the lincoln memorial. It was in pretty good shape before i messed it all up. duh!!!!
French coin from 1977. I franc.
ReplyDeleteAbout $0.20
John Adams 1 dollar coin 2007D.
Just $1.00
1940 "S" wheat penny
It would be about $0.15 but with the damage just $0.01. No big loss.
