[edit] 1919 Penny
Old 1919 penny that is probably worth a lot of money
 Front and Back of 1919 Penny |
Please provide information on the whereabouts of coin buyers, where can I place information on this or any interest from the general public or in particular collectors.
A 1930 penny was sold for over 200,000 dollars!
You've seen pictures of old coins but imagine having one for yourself.
Many other coins available if interest builds

[edit] Examples of vandalisation to my own personal page and my response
p.s. to the person who typed the countless 'k's, how did you find this page?
exactly
and how did the person who typed 'exactly' find this page...i didn't realise that this page could be reached by some wandering people
i guess i'm not alone in this world.
''I am not the one that typed the K's, but I did find this page using this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennies. It is listed at the bottom of the page. I clicked on the coin collection.
[edit] How we could've be freezing in the middle of summer
There have been many changes to the calendar which has become the world's most popularly used. The Gregorian calendar has gone through a plentiful processing stage to ensure that we all 'keep on track'.
It was that famous Emperor of ancient Rome, Julian Caesar in 46BC who made up the calendar with leap years to counter the fact that it takes a little over 365 days to orbit the sun. It was introduced in 45BC and was a great success. It was named the Julian calendar in honour of Julius Caesar.
However, there have been glitches to the calendar. You see, even with the extra day in February, we could still slowly go out of the seasonal time span. Consider this: The earth doesn't exactly take 365.25 days to go around the sun. It's about 365.2422199 days, which means it takes around 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes for the earth to orbit the sun. Now you may think that 11 minutes doesn't make that much of a difference but over time, it all adds up.
- 44 minutes every four years
- Around a whole day every 130 years
- Three days every 400 years
So...by now, if no one had done something about that, in the time from Julius Caesar's invention until now, we would be 15 days out of alignment from the sun. This would mean that seasons would start earlier and things would be in a frenzy. If this went on for long enough, we could all be freezing in the middle of summer!
Thankfully, something was done about it. It was in 1582 that Pope Gregory XIII revised the calendar so that there wouldn't be an extra three days every 400 years. He made another rule: centurial years (years that can be divided exactly by one hundred) will not be leap years unless can be evenly divided by 400. This meant that there would be 3 less days every 400 years. HEY - problem solved!
So the year 2000, as you all know is very special. It is the turning point of the new millenium. Another one won't happen until 3000. But it is also a centurial leap year, which makes it uber special. Another one of these won't happen until 2400. So the next millenium in which there will be a centurial leap year will be in 4000. That's a loooooooong way away.
The newly revised calendar was named the Gregorian Calendar to honour Pope Gregory XIII.
And one last thing...I just realised one of my above statements was wrong. You see, that Pope Gregory added one more rule for his spanking new design: if a year CAN be divided by 4000, it is NOT a leap year. Apparently, without this final insy winsy tweak, the calendar would be close to one whole day out of alignment from the sun by 4000. Boy! That means that the next millenium in which there will be a centurial leap year is in the year 6000.
I hope this gives that extra insight into a little bit of history

[edit] Adding this so to display the contents
The community is one of such that provides a sensual estuation in the common sense of general opinion and observations. Its intellectual ability to conjure indigenous beings has been famous for the accumulation of wealth stacked up today. This unusual combination of statistical features correlate together to form a superefficient economy, hereby such astronomy is further investigated. One that provides such nonsense to immaculate reasoning is not well appreciated; however, many associates and clients may have just wasted their period transferring through the beholding innocent text that they are obscured through at this very moment.
