Mint Condition Harry Potter Book Collection?

Hey everybody, just wondering i got the harry potter hardcover book collection for my 14th birthday. i always wanted it and then i saved up the money and bought it. It was $220 wen i got it (Australian) it has never been read and still smells fresh. It is about one year old now. How much Do you think i could get for it? Considering the single sale price of the hard cover books.
Oh i almost forgot!
(I haven't read the books cause i have another copy of them)
Im a harry potter Freak

Most HP hard cover books range from £10 to £17.99. As you say that your books are in a good condition, then I guess you will be able to sell them at a pretty good price. Try eBay and see what you come up with. But you have to be 18 to join up. Hoffie

Evolution of the Silver Dollar Mint

Beginning in 1792 the United States was allowed to produce silver dollars for use as legal tender. When the paper dollar came into existence some years later the use of dollar coins became obsolete with periods when the US mint didn't even strike any coins larger than the half dollar. In the 21st century dollar coins are a rare sight though they are not obsolete, especially in light of the late 199s introduction of the gold dollar piece. It was a definite improvement over earlier issues because it was easy to differentiate the dollar from the half dollar or quarter because of the color. Earlier the silver dollar had been reduced in size and in its silver color was almost indistinguishable from either the quarter or half dollar. This left retailers with the problem of having to look at any silver coin in denominations higher than the dime to make sure they were giving correct change.

Although it has not remained in constant circulation, there have been some new issues of the silver dollar from the Mint. This may be an effort to rejuvenate its use or just to provide collectors with another coin to add to their growing collections. There have been various occasions when the silver dollar has been produced such as the Susan B Anthony dollar as an expression of a woman's right to participate in the running of the government. These special occasions make the value of that particular silver dollar from the mint more valuable for the collector. It will not increase the face value nor will it be worth anything to collectors while it is still in circulation.

One thing a collector must keep in mind is that the circulation of a silver dollar from the Mint may have a widespread or limited circulation. Since these factors are not generally public knowledge at the time of issue, you may want to save any new coins in case they become collector's editions later. When any coin is still in widespread circulation whether it is still being minted or not it will have no value beyond that on its face. After the coins have limited circulation because they are no longer in widespread circulation they will begin to gain value for the investor and collector.

One problem with the silver dollar is its additional cost compared to the Federal Reserve Note and the public's dislike of so many coins. It has dwindled in popularity even though other countries use coins equivalent to the U.S. dollar. For instance, Great Britain's one pond denomination is a coin-the lowest note available for widespread use is the five pound note. The minimal production of the silver dollar make any new issues more valuable to collectors because they know eventually those coins will be removed from circulation. Each new issue from the Mint means a potential new coin for a collector although it will take some years for any new silver dollar from the Mint to be worth the same as those old, rare coins from centuries ago.

In Mint Condition!

At Easter I'm sure many people will be looking forward to their traditional Easter Sunday lunch of roast lamb with all the trimmings - including mint sauce. Contrary to what you might think though, mint sauce was not invented by the English, but was certainly around in Roman times, if not even earlier. In Apicius' writings we can find recipes for a mint sauce with cumin seeds and pine nuts to serve with roast pork; with pepper, almonds, oregano and honey as a sauce for cold fish, as well as with pepper, lovage, red wine and vinegar to eat with mutton.

However, in the ancient world, mint was valued as much for its medicinal qualities as a for its properties as a culinary herb. Its delicious smell was thought to be stimulating to both the mind and the appetite, whilst Pliny suggested that students should plait a crown of mint to wear around their heads to stimulate their brains. This might not be as foolish as it sounds, since aromatherapists maintain that the essential oils of certain plants, including peppermint, can improve memory and concentration.

The Roman legions took cuttings of their favourite herbs with them as they conquered Europe, and mint is one of the many useful herbs they introduced to Britain more than 2,000 years ago. By the Middle Ages mint was already a firm favourite, found in every kitchen garden, used in both cookery and medicine. It's difficult to be certain what species of mint the Romans introduced to these islands as there is a bewildering variety of species. Most botanists now agree however that it was likely to be horsemint, from which our modern spearmint has developed. The other popular species today is peppermint which has a distinctive purplish stem, although it's easy to buy a whole range of plants including pineapple, apple, eau-de-cologne, ginger and bergamot mints!

Spearmint is the milder of the two species and in Spain is known as "jerba buena" - the good herb, and is used to treat a number of childhood illnesses including teething, colic, wind and fevers. Mint has always been used to treat a whole spectrum of illnesses, though I'm not sure how successful it would have been in alleviating pain from the bite of a mad dog, or in easing labour pains as recommended by Culpepper?!

Culpepper also recommends mint as "useful in all disorders of the stomach" and modern herbalists agree with him, using it to treat morning sickness in pregancy and recommending an infusion of peppermint and ginger to treat travel sickness. Children with upset stomachs may also be soothed by this tea.

The mildly uplifting effect of peppermint was known to the doctors of ancient Greece and Rome who used it as a mild nerve tonic - a use which still continued in 17th century England .... "Mintes are sometimes used with balm and other herbs as a help to comfort and strengthen the nerves." Applied locally, peppermint oil can have a mild analgesic effect, producing first a cold sensation, then mild numbness.

Another recommendation from Culpepper was to gargle a mint infusion in the mouth to "cure the mouth and gums that are sore." Scurvy or vitamin C deficiency was a common problem in the springtime in those days after the long winter months when fresh fruit and vegetables were scarce. In fact freshly picked mint has on average approximately as much vitamin C as the same weight of oranges and more carotene than carrots, which makes it excellent nutritional value. To make the most of these properties, try adding finely chopped mint to any salad - refreshing and good for you.

If you feel as though you may be succumbing to a cold, then a classic country remedy is equal parts of elderflower, yarrow and peppermint infused in boiling water; strained; sweetened with honey and drunk hot last thing at night. Hopefully you'll be feeing better in the morning! Mint is also an excellent insect repellent; a big bunch hanging at the back door is an excellent, eco-friendly way of discouraging flies.

If after reading this you are keen to introduce mint to your garden, if you haven't already done so, then remember - all mints are very vigorous growers and if you don't want them to take over the whole plot, plant them in a bottomless bucket sunk level with the soil. They are perennial plants and will come up every year.

Finally - for hot weather - don't forget champagne julep. Fill your glass; add a lump of sugar and two sprigs of mint. All we need now is the perfect summer!

The Amazing Solar Toothbrush That Cleans Teeth and Cures Bad Breath

If this sounds like the title from a 1950's DC comic book, well, you are both partially right and would well be forgiven for thinking so. Fact is, scientists around the world do come up with inventions that warrant these kinds of headlines. It says a lot about comic books and scientists, but that's besides the point.

The point is, if you thought an electric toothbrush was the ultimate answer to a wholesome, scientifically accurate and 'lazy' brushing experience, then hear this out: Scientists in Japan came up with something that uses just LIGHT to clean your teeth -- They call it a "solar toothbrush" that works through an ingenious, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly photochemical reaction. And the best thing about it is, it does all its cleaning without requiring either water or toothpaste!

Talk about a high tech cure for lazy mornings and bad breath!

It's been clinically tested and approved in both Japan and Canada to give the kind of cleaning experience that no toothpaste, toothbrush, mint or spray on the planet can give. It cleans your teeth thoroughly and produces a sense of freshness and zing in your mouth that feels (quite unusually) clean to the T.

It's actually NOT unusual that the Japanese chose light as the basis of their cleaning technology -- Light has been scientifically proven and known for centuries to be an effective destroyer of germs. (If you've ever focused the sun's rays through a magnifying lens onto a sheet of paper or a patch of dry grass, you'll know what I'm talking about).

It's reported that the solar toothbrush offers a near-permanent cure for oral ailments -- including gingivitis, tartar and plaque, bad breath and tooth decay.

And the fact that the whole mechanism is hands-free makes it even more attractive to those who hate trudging to the bathroom at 6 in the morning and hunting for your toothbrush, groping for the toothpaste, and beginning the routine of the day. How boring!

Imagine just plugging the solar toothbrush in your mouth and going back to sleep while it does its job -- though I wouldn't recommend you actually go to sleep! And the fact is, unlike your normal toothbrush that needs replacing every 3-4 months, the solar toothbrush needs no replacing. The main body never wears out, and the only thing you need to replace is the brush head -- that too only once every 6 months or so. And they're dirt cheap; the cost of your regular toothbrush.
