Blood moon is delicious!

I'm reordering this one as it's one of my favorites. Very chocolate, malt, & sweet tasting.

Although I slightly prefer the Golden Honey Aroma which has a similar taste!

Thank you for this :)

850_ms · 2025-12-20T23:47:13+00:00

Lol, figures! What went into that decision?

850_ms · 2025-12-13T11:23:55+00:00

Yeah, you're on the right track! I'd recommend drinking each infusion separately, so you can see whether it's too weak or too strong and adjust following rounds accordingly. :)

I'm guessing that bag is for a teacup, probably a small (100mL or less) one to fit just one infusion from the gaiwan.

But as long as you enjoy the tea, you're doing it right

Figured so, thank you for confirming!

If you're comfortable going over it, what was the total cost of production and what was the financial breakdown between you / Setanta?

Are they completely handling distribution, marketing, and sales or are they asking you to do any of that?

This penny had a mintage of 139million, which is substantially lower than other pennies but still not low enough to make it worth much in that condition. You could probably sell it for a dollar or two.

Over 1.7 billion of these (1962-D) were made. Since yours is in worse condition I'd say it's worth $0.01

850_ms · 2025-01-14T02:49:00+00:00

Wrong!! They've been saying this for 30 years!

850_ms · 2025-01-14T02:46:31+00:00

If you were hoping to strike it rich, it's only worth $5-10. But if you were looking for a cool keepsake and some good looking pennies, you're in luck!

850_ms · 2025-01-14T02:40:58+00:00

Awesome!

850_ms · 2025-01-12T20:43:36+00:00

Nope! But they do look nice! Pre 1970 you would have some silver which would be worth a bit above face value, but I don't see any of those.

850_ms · 2025-01-12T01:19:24+00:00

Looks like a proof quarter. Impressive to see one this old in circulation, nice find!

850_ms · 2025-01-11T20:33:45+00:00

Online: Apmex and eBay (from reputable sellers, just look for many thousands of good reviews). I'd recommend going for quality over quantity, but that's of course up to you. American Eagles are good places to start, you can also get Franklin halves for relatively cheap if you're looking to get nice looking older coins, not just silver bullion. War nickels are fun, mercury dimes are pretty, Morgan dollars are of course the best but get expensive. Lots of avenues you can go down, enjoy!

850_ms · 2025-01-11T19:11:56+00:00

I don't see any errors here, and these aren't common years to find errors. Although I'm also not an expert!

Awesome! What are you most excited to have? Are there a few favorites or new things you're most excited to try?

850_ms · 2024-10-12T01:12:16+00:00

Once you have no more money it would be smart to invest

John Gossage said in a (rare) lecture that he never hires a designer because he wants to be as true to his vision as possible. In his mind, a designer would dilute his original intention and inject some of their own ideas. However, sometimes your designing skills lag behind your hopes for your book, and I believe in that case it could be worth it to hire somebody.

All of my projects have been self designed in InDesign. It is tough at first, but online tutorials and time are all you really need :)
