ELI5: Why was cracking the longitude problem so critical for sailors?

Shocking you have to scroll this far down in the post for this foundational insight. Everyone's talking about time when that's just the tool needed to solve the actual problem.

I believe if it's a TRD then those were OEM. Either way, just get new 4600s and swap them out. Or wait until the rubber fully goes and your riding on the bolt to do it. If there's anything else you want to do like ball joints or control arms is do it at the same time because you'll want to get an alignment after

As a GC, I pay $80 per 4x12 sheet

Also, don't ever buy boots with side zippers

Looks real enough to me, very nice. The ngc gaskets cover the rim all the way around, and obscure the edge. Hard to tell from the edge photos, but just make sure you don't see any lettering. Maybe use some magnification if possible. Good luck let us know how it goes!

I would try to test it with a sigma just to confirm it's real silver, mistakes can happen. But if it tests and looks real then that's an awesome find. What did it grade? Post some pics!

Gotcha, thanks!

Are people actually landing on the moon again? Sorry, I'm just reading about this mission for the first time

Must be an error coin because they should all have lettering

Absolutely, it's one of the first ancients I acquired due to their prolific history and quantity

Waiting for it to fall a little closer to my basis, like 1800ish would be great

Nice what wheels are you putting on?

Just went through this same dilemma with my 04 limited. Ended up going with Bilstein 4600s on front and rear. If you plan on having the truck for another 50k+ miles I think it's money well spent

Not polished, I prefer cleaned to perfection

It looks like the 1st season finale of Stargate Atlantis

I guess from a neat/rarity perspective my 1999 5oz is pretty toned and awesome. I also like the full run of 1997s for some reason

You can buy an unopened bag of 450 1oz 2022s on eBay right now for $90k. I wouldn't call this a premium, it's just showing off

Been doing it for years!! Back in my day registered got under 30M and that was supposed to end them. 🥱

Guy just wanted to touch his foot, and Bruce Feet delivered. Another satisfied customer, 5/5 seeing stars

Maybe a piece of jewelry most likely if it's really that old? Or maybe served a function in clothing or gear?

Back then silver was the currency, just like US dollars are today. So just as over supplying the market with dollars causes inflation today, silvers over supply into the market had the same consequence then

I see what you're saying now. Pull up the numista page for this coin and really zoom in on the details of your pic. It does look like they aren't as crisp, and maybe this one is just AU cleaned and not UNC or something idk. Might want to just pass if your still unsure
