Re: [meteorite-list] DONATION REFUNDS + Inflation (Mifflin)
Hi all, On April 14, 2010 in Mifflin, Wisconsin there was a fall that took many meteorite hunters to the area. After some time, there was talk on the list of creating a display for the local school. I volunteered to put one together. At the time I was only 64 and still full of energy and excitement and certainty I would pull it off. This and that delayed the project and then I was struck with liver cancer, a liver transplant and subsequent ailments. In short, I NEVER delivered. I am now 76 and recent years have been rough medically. I would like to return all the donations (+inflation) people sent in for this project. Most were $5 or $10 and a few were $25 and one was substantially larger. Please contact me directly for a full refund + the 36.53% inflation since 2010. I would appreciate it if we could wrap this up before the end of the month of December. When I do leave here I would like to go with an even balance with everyone. I apologize to all for failing to come through on the intended project.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Coins of Ancient Greece and Rome
Some of you have made it over to our group. We share photos and write about our favorite (mostly Roman) coins - mostly with meteorite themes, though some are "merely" astrological. Lots of interesting coins. Tim Heitz just posted about his latest acquisition - a truly remarkable Gold coin from the reign of Elagabalus (218-222 ad) in very close to mint condition and perfectly centered on both sides. Anyway, any of you meteorite people are very welcome to check us out at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2413123552075886/ Feel free if you want to advertise any meteorite coins you want to sell - dealer or collector - but NO meteorites, please - and of course no other unrelated advertising on the site. If you have any interesting ancient coin or one with an interesting story as to how you acquired it, post it on our page, ask any questions you like, etc. Best regards, Michael Blood __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
