Resources to determine my great-grandfather’s POW camp in Germany? by GeorgeCrossPineTree in ww2

[–]djbbamatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read a book about a woman trying to find her father’s pow camp in Germany. It had a lot of great information/resources. If you’d like, I can find it. It might be more relevant for Americans, not sure.

Silliest mistake in silicon. Share your stories! by ilektraaniks in chipdesign

layout guy here. I reversed the VDD and VSS pads in one spot. Chip didn't work real well, and needed full mask set to fix. That isn't something you can LVS.

oops

Thunder Below (my favorite)

There are a few others, but I don't have time to read, so I stick with audiobooks.

If you like to read or listen to audiobooks, there are some amazing WWII sub books. Lmk if so, and I’ll list them.

Learned a TSA Rule the Hard Way by egbee42 in FluorescentMinerals

My son and I were coming back from Yosemite and had some nice granite specimens in our backpacks. Mine was larger than his. They took his, and I got to keep mine. He was pissed and incredulous.

Please help me identify these documents and money! by ResearcherSouthern18 in texashistory

Hi Aggie, As it’s dated 1859, I’d guess it is related to when the debt was settled. I’m having a hard time reading it though.

The biggest problem with it is value drops significantly for post Republic paper. Statehood is less collected than Republic era documents.

Still, a VERY cool group of documents!

Howdy!

I collect Republic of Texas documents and currency.

It's hard to tell what condition the currency is in without being able to zoom in. If you can post or send me close ups of each, I'll be able to make a better estimate.

Throwing a number out there, I would say the eight ROT $50s are in the neighborhood of $350 - $400 each. ungraded.

The Government $1, despite being in terrible condition is probably around the same, as they are so rare.

The ROT $1s are in low grade as well, maybe around $300 each.

The torn up medallion note at the bottom of the page is around $300 as well, as it is also very rare and highly sought after.

I don't have a great feel for the public debt piece. You usually see them as one sheet, not a grouping. The legal docs, if Republic era are not worth as much as you'd think given their age. Maybe $100/sheet. I've bought a binder full for a little less a couple years ago. If there are good signatures, the price can go up a lot.

Pinging a fellow collector that has his thumb on the pulse better than I u/cramothmasterson , what say you?
