Historical Values of Lincoln Cents
Rare Pennies You Should Hold Onto... Including The 1943 Penny ...
Lincoln pennies have been popular as collector coins since the 1930s, when the first coin boards, coin albums, and coin folders were published to display Lincoln cent collectors. Because this coin is so widely collected, it goes without saying that demand for the scarcer dates is extremely high. This also translates to high values for many of the rare and semi-key Lincoln cents.
Today, many Lincoln cents are worth more than $25 each, and some are even worth hundreds of dollars. That hasn’t always been the case, though. Below is a look at values for the rare and semi-key Lincoln cents over the course of the last 50 years. As you will see, many Lincoln cents have dramatically increased in value of the last several decades. Many values have outpaced inflation! Some, however, have actually decreased in value.
These values are culled from the 1965, 1985, and 2005 editions of A Guide Book of United States Coins, by R.S. Yeoman.

A water-rich polka dot pattern takes over the traditional rectangular patchwork of fields in a series of 40 years of Landsat images. In the dry Texas panhandle near the town of Dalhart, this transformation is due to center-pivot irrigation, a farming method that improves water distribution to fields.

Acura NSX Concept Gets Painted Proper Sports-Car Red [Beijing Auto Show]
Car Reviews - 2010 Car Reviews at CARandDRIVER.com - Car Buying ...
When it debuted in January at the Detroit auto show, the Acura NSX concept wore techy silver paint, and that didn’t change when the car made an appearance in Geneva wearing Honda logos. At the Beijing show, the car reverted to its luxury-brand badge—and showed up in a racy shade of red.
A sports car usually looks best in red, and we definitely dig the hue on the NSX. Like the concept, the 2015 production model will feature a mid-mounted V-6 bolted to a dual-clutch automatic transmission that integrates an electric motor and drives the rear wheels. Two front-mounted electric motors will spin the front wheels, providing what Acura has dubbed Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. (Read more about how it works here in front-drive applications; the idea is simply applied in reverse for the NSX.) The car is being developed in the States and will be built in Ohio.

Tips for Racing in Warm Weather
Running and Jogging
April can be a tricky time to race a marathon because, although the dates of marathons are usually chosen to coincide with cool temperatures, you may have the unfortunate luck of getting an extremely hot and humid race day. Running during those conditions in April is even more difficult than doing it in July or August because, after training in the cold all winter, most runners are not prepared to run in the heat and humidity.
