How many 1964 Kennedy's does Russ need to have before the whole collection smashes though the floor into the basement. (Assuming Russ has a basement and his coins are not stored there)???
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

- shame on you for not providing me with enough information to do the required calculations!
I'd need to know, among other things, if the coins were raw, in PCGs holders or NGC holders; the size of the room; the type and age of the flooring and, most importantly, whether Russ sleeps with/on his coins. And, quite frankly, that's something I really don't want to know.
If a radio commercial ends with "Not available in all states", does that mean that that company ,no longer does business in the United States? or does it mean that the person who wrote the commercial is grammatically challenged?
Dear Mark, I never missed one of your answers on the board. In fact I found your answers so useful I often find myself printing them and glueing them to the freezer door for the whole family to read and learn from. We have all grown as individuals and closer as a family due to your no-nonsense approach to the difficulties of todays numismatic society. The young numismatists today have it so much harder than when we were youth that they need all the help they can get. This is my first time writing to you but find myself in quite a pickle and need your help. I have an opportunity to buy a Massachusetts Quarter with a rare die crack for $90,000. It would mean spending all of the money saved for my wifes plastic surgery she plans to have in 30 or so years. If I buy this coin the guy also has a great deal on an Oswald/Kennedy half but that would mean giving up all the money for my childrens college education. I just don't know what to do since I rellly want the best die crack collection in the world. Please help.

Construct, in answer to your question "What is the difference between apple juice and apple cider?"
Here is something I found on how apple cider (as opposed to apple juice) is made - I sure hope you really wanted to know!
HOW IT IS MADE Big cider makers have turned to modern methods, but the backland of New England is dotted with small mills where cider is still made the old-fashioned way. The process goes like this: Whole washed apples are crushed or ground to make a rough applesauce known as pomace. The pomace then falls, or is pumped, into a cloth-lined form. The cloth is folded over the pomace, the form is removed, and a rack is placed on top. This process is repeated, leaving multiple layers known collectively as "cheese." The cheese is squeezed by mechanical means, and out comes sweet cider.
Hard cider is the fermented product: The sugar in it has turned to alcohol. Apple juice is cider that has been pasteurized, and sparkling cider, a nonalcoholic beverage, is carbonated apple juice
If the first part of your post is even a bit more serious than your questions, then thank you and I'm truly gratified to have been of some help.
Now for your questions:

Regarding the $90,000 Mass. quarter - if you feel that your wife wont need the plastic surgery in 30 years, go for it! If, on the other hand, you feel that she will need it - tell her so and if she doesn't kill you, go for it then too, because it means you're a very lucky guy!
Ask your children if they would rather go to college or invest their college funds in the Oswald/Kennedy half. If they choose college, it means they are not idiots and the money you spend on their education will be for a good cause. If they choose the half, they REALLY need to be educated and you should pass on the half, so that you can send your kids to college.

I have one I'll let you have for $50,000!! Even graded PR68. No Oswald Kennedy's or perfect storm quarters though.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

I must say you are a good sport and very good natured. Could you post a couple more threads that we can pick on you with?
Mad Marty,
I'll take the die crack and will mail you a check on Monday. You're just going to have to hold the check until I tell you it will clear.
