Warren Buffett—widely considered the most successful investor of all time—has repeatedly acknowledged Benjamin Graham as the primary influence on his investment approach. Indeed, there is a direct line between the record-shattering investing performance of Buffett (and other value investors) and Graham's life. In six books and dozens of papers, Graham—known as the "Dean of Wall Street"—left an extensive account of an investing system that, as Buffett can attest, actually works!
This biography of Benjamin Graham, the first written with access to his posthumously published memoirs, explains Graham's most essential wealth-creation concepts while telling the colorful story of his amazing business career and his multifaceted, unconventional personal life. The author distills the best from Graham's extensive published works and draws from personal interviews he conducted with Warren Buffett, Charles Brandes, and many other top US and global value investors, as well as Graham's surviving children and friends.
Warren Buffett once said, "No one ever became poor by reading Graham." Find out for yourself by reading Carlen's lively account of Benjamin Graham's fascinating life and time-tested techniques for generating wealth.

THE EINSTEIN OF MONEYThe Life and Timeless Financial Wisdom of Benjamin Graham

Chapter OneLOSING IT ALL
Benjamin Grossbaum was born in London, England, in 1894, toward the end of the reign of Queen Victoria. Grossbaum was his legal surname until his family "Americanized" it to Graham roughly twenty-three years later (for the sake of clarity and consistency, our subject will generally be referred to as Graham throughout the book). His father, Isaac, was born in Britain and was proud of his British upbringing (a pride that, apparently, was never diminished by the family's subsequent emigration to the United States) while his mother, Dora, originated from Poland. Isaac Grossbaum, along with his five brothers and his father, Bernard, owned and operated a business that imported china, bric-a-brac, and related merchandise from Austria and Germany to the United Kingdom. The Grossbaums were able and industrious merchants, Isaac being especially gifted in this regard. The Grossbaum family was also strictly orthodox in its practice of the Jewish faith.
Isaac was one of eleven children. Among the devoutly religious (Jewish or otherwise), such large families were (and are) not unusual. What was somewhat unusual, even in an orthodox context, was the extent of discipline that Isaac's father imposed upon his children. Because he was so fearful of any "ungodly" influence, he enforced a draconian code of conduct upon his household so severe as to prohibit such "sinful debauchery" as whistling! According to his memoirs, Graham recalls his paternal grandfather, nicknamed "Old Grossbaum," in fairly stark terms: "A man with a square, expansive, grey-black beard, a skull cap, a severe expression, and a fanatical gleam in his eyes." However, considering that Benjamin grew up in a home where he was exposed to French lessons and other secular/ non-Jewish activities, it seems that, while officially orthodox (at least while Isaac was still alive), the family Graham was born into was somewhat less pious than that of Bernard Grossbaum.
Moreover, despite being a young and presumably fertile couple, Isaac and Dora had quite a number of childless years between Benjamin's birth and Isaac's death. Such a gap is rare among the most pious practitioners of Orthodox Judaism. As Graham writes in his memoirs, "Out of delicacy or a lack of the inquisitive sense, I never asked mother how it came about that there were none after me." Regarding Benjamin's mother, Dora, her family was also comprised of highly devout Orthodox Jews. This family was known as the Gesundheits. Graham recalls his maternal grandfather as a "stout, jovial man with a white beard," and Grandmother Gesundheit as a "stout, emotional, and domineering lady." Of course, the hilarity of the Gesundheit name did not go unnoticed, and there were many who couldn't quite hold in their laughter after verifying that the Gesundheits were not kidding and it really was their family name. As Graham recounted several decades later in his memoirs, Gesundheit "was a name which was the cause of much amusement for others and embarrassment to us." Not surprisingly, circumstance and common sense intervened to ensure that the name would not last long in the New World. Graham's cousins, who immigrated to America, would eventually change their surname from Gesundheit to Gerard ("for the children's sake," as one of the surviving Gerards recounted to me). However, behind the amusing name was an intellectual lineage that was anything but laughable.
Graham's maternal great-grandfather was a celebrated religious scholar in nineteenth-century Poland and even served as chief rabbi of Warsaw for several years. At the time, that was among the most prestigious positions anywhere for an observant Jew. One had to be extremely learned in many different areas to become a chief rabbi of any Jewish community, let alone what was, by a significant margin, the largest Jewish community in the world at that time (comprising somewhere between 30 and 40 percent of the Polish capital's total population). Indeed, from a nineteenth-century Jewish perspective, such a position was almost comparable to the papacy for Polish (and other) Catholics of that era. So it would be difficult to understate the stature of such an honored post and the level of both respect and trust that the world's largest Jewish community must have had for Graham's great-grandfather.
Not surprisingly, there is an entry for Graham's maternal grandfather, Jacob Ben Isaac Gesundheit (1815–1878) in the Jewish Encyclopedia. Despite the fact that he died long before Graham was born, the entry for Mr. Gesundheit reveals three remarkable parallels between the two men: Jacob was a noted scholar in his field (Jewish law and religion) and wrote a number of works that were "very highly esteemed by Talmudical scholars of eastern Europe." Apparently, he was also an enthusiastic teacher, having led a yeshiva (a Jewish seminary) in Warsaw for forty-two years. Last, although he was a devoted religious scholar (and, one presumes, an observant Jew), as chief rabbi, he apparently held views on some religious matters that were considered to be excessively liberal by some of the more pious members of his community. This created a stir that ultimately led to his loss of that prestigious post.
Revealing another, almost eerie, similarity to his great-grandson Benjamin, whose memoirs remained both unpublished and incomplete when he died, the Jewish Encyclopedia entry notes that Jacob "left several works in manuscript." As will be elaborated in subsequent chapters, Graham, like Jacob Gesundheit, also became known for highly esteemed scholarly written works and many years of teaching in his field of investment finance (thirty-seven years, to be precise). And, of course, he used both the typewriter and the classroom lectern to communicate an investment philosophy that, relative to the accepted "wisdom" of Wall Street at the time, was entirely unconventional. So it seems that thinking outside of the mainstream and being willing to espouse unorthodox views had some relatively recent precedent in the Gesundheit branch of Graham's family tree.
Rhoda Sarnat, the daughter of Maurice Gesundheit/Gerard (Rhoda Gesundheit's brother), had extensive contact with Graham throughout much of his life. I interviewed her and her late husband, Dr. Bernard Sarnat (who, prior to his retirement, was a plastic surgeon of some renown), just a few months prior to the latter's passing. Having studied the family tree in some detail, both of them expressed to me that they saw a link between the Gesundheits' intellectualism and Graham's exemplary success in a highly analytical field. In a recent biography of Dr. Sarnat, the illustrious genealogy of the doctor's wife is highlighted to a considerable extent. While the author concludes that, of the Gesundheit progeny, "the most famous of all was Benjamin Graham," he certainly is not the only great intellect in that gene pool.
In fact, Rhoda's own father (and Dora Grossbaum/Graham's brother), Maurice Gesundheit, was a respected intellectual in his own right. Curiously, after several years of rabbinical studies convinced him that he was actually an agnostic, Maurice abandoned religious studies for mathematics. In turn, he became a professor in this field at the University of Manchester. Later, upon leaving the United Kingdom for America, Maurice became, as Graham recalled in his memoirs, "quite a success as one of the earliest of the 'systematizers' or 'efficiency engineers.'" To one degree or another, this intellectualism is evident in many of Maurice Gesundheit/Gerard's children, most of whom have excelled in medicine and various other academic disciplines. Perhaps the most significant among these is Ralph Waldo Gerard. A son from Maurice's first marriage (and Rhoda Sarnat's half-bother), Ralph earned his doctorate in neurophysiology, and his research won him two Nobel Prize nominations (but no awards).
During Ralph's lifetime, the late scholar wrote or cowrote over five hundred scientific papers and nine books that pertained to heady topics and carried such titles as "Biological and Cultural Evolution: Some Analogies and Explorations" (a paper published in Behavioral Science) and "The Effect of Frequency of Simulations on the Heat Production of the Nerve" (a paper published in the Journal of Physiology). Of the descendants of the great chief rabbi of Warsaw, Ralph Gerard was a close runner-up to his first cousin Benjamin Graham. Aside from sheer volume and complexity, Gerard's output is comparable to Graham's in its originality and its tendency to draw enlightening parallels between seemingly distinct disciplines. (Despite—or, perhaps, due to—their similarly impressive intellects, the two cousins never got along very well). Another notable Gesundheit was Rita Auerbach, Dora's first cousin and, according to the Sarnats, one of the first women elected to the British parliament. While it's unclear that this political accomplishment is an indication of great intellect, it certainly reflects a willingness to flout convention.
The extent to which heredity shapes the course of one's life lies at the heart of the "nature versus nurture" conundrum, a still-unresolved (and potentially unresolvable) controversy that is outside the scope of our discussion. However, the pronounced expression of intellectualism and original thought among numerous members of the Gesundheit family line is certainly worthy of exploration in a work highlighting Graham's intellect. Such a lineage is clearly a plausible explanatory factor behind the uncanny brilliance that has become the defining characteristic of Graham's life and legacy. As for the Grossbaums, while considerably less intellectual, the business acumen of Bernard and Isaac also found some expression in "Benny," as his parents would call him. Considering that he established the first of three successful investment enterprises of his own before turning thirty, Graham had some talent in this regard as well. Moreover, his career as a manager and comanager of these enterprises proved that Graham was able to interact both profitably and fairly with clients, employees, and partners alike.
Grossbaum & Sons, as the family's kitchenware/ornament import business was known, saw great opportunity for expansion in America. So, only one year after the birth of Isaac and Dora's third (and final) child, Benjamin, it was decided that Isaac's family would take that fabled nautical journey from Europe to Ellis Island. However, unlike many of the European immigrants of that period (particularly Jewish immigrants, almost all of whom were emigrating from eastern and, to a lesser extent, central Europe, as opposed to the generally more tolerant and prosperous United Kingdom), it seems that the Grossbaums probably intended to return to their point of origin. After all, Isaac held both a deep affection for Britain and an almost umbilical attachment to his family in London, particularly his father, Bernard. As such, the prospect of relocating permanently in a distant (albeit English-speaking) foreign land and leaving his father and brothers behind in Britain did not appeal to him.
Little is known of Dora's feelings about leaving London. Considering that she had already relocated once before (from her native Poland) and that her family roots were elsewhere, it is probable that the move was less wrenching for her. As for their three children, the eldest, Victor, was only three years of age; Leon was two; and "little Benny" was only one. At such a young age, it is unlikely that any of them carried any strong feelings (let alone influence) regarding such a transition. So, despite Isaac's attachments, with the booming turn-of-the-century US economy making headlines across the pond, it was deemed essential for Grossbaum & Sons to establish some sort of presence in America. It is likely that the Grossbaums intended to return to London once that was in place. It is telling that, for the first four years in which Isaac governed his household (as was the norm during that era) in the United States, the Grossbaums rented part of a private home. Despite possessing ample means to rent or purchase a home of his own, it took several years of living in the United States before Isaac relented and established an independent home for his family.
In 1895, with both hope and a measure of sadness, Isaac and his family boarded a ship from London for New York City. Aside from their somewhat unusual point of origin (for that particular epoch of US immigration), the Grossbaums differed from the masses of mainly southern European and eastern European immigrants of the Ellis Island era in two other important respects: they brought a significant sum of money with them to establish the American branch of Grossbaum & Sons and, unlike the great majority of immigrants from the Ellis Island era, they already spoke English. Their relative wealth, coupled with a mastery of the native language, endowed the Grossbaums with a considerable dual advantage in adapting to American life as first-generation immigrants. To illustrate, unlike the fourth-class passengers on the ship (who, most likely, originated from points east and/or south of Britain), the Grossbaums, as second-class passengers and British-accented English speakers, were not even asked for papers by Ellis Island immigration officials! Indeed, for several years, it seemed that the Grossbaums' cultural and monetary advantages (along with Isaac's tireless work ethic) would ensure a smooth ascent up the golden ladder of the New World.
Instead of the neglected tenement slums endured by most Jewish immigrants of the Ellis Island heyday, the Grossbaums' first (rented) home in New York was just off Park Avenue! While the house was shared with their landlord, it's safe to presume that such an address carried both prestige and considerable expense. Aside from the Park Avenue home, Graham's recollections of his early childhood make reference to all manifestations of ragtime-era affluence: vacations in trendy summer resorts; trips to Hot Springs, Virginia; at least one extended stay in Europe; governesses; regular trips to fashionable boutiques and fine food stores; gold watches; the latest phonographs and recordings; cooks, maids, and even "servants' quarters." Moreover, from both a personal and a familial perspective, it was an idyllic time. Graham recalls children's locomotive trains in Central Park, typical troublemaking from the growing Grossbaum boys (of which Graham, being the youngest and least mischievous, was the most reluctant participant), and what seems to have been a fairly harmonious union between Isaac and Dora.
So, while many immigrants of the era were suffering from the dangerous and unsanitary conditions observed in the 1890 classic How the Other Half Lives, it seems that the Grossbaums were living in a parallel universe of luxury, prestige, and even glamour. Moreover, despite being Jewish at a time when open anti-Semitism was fairly common, the Grossbaums not only succeeded financially, but they even gained some exposure to American "high society." Perhaps the most notable illustration of such exposure in Graham's own life is the friendship that he, as a five-year-old, developed with a young child of the Swift family (meat-industry moguls) during his family's stay in Hot Springs. Within a year of that trip, the Grossbaums took up residence in a private brownstone house on Fifth Avenue. This move was a definitive indication that not only had Isaac made the American branch of Grossbaum & Sons a great success but also that he did not anticipate a permanent return to Britain for the foreseeable future.
Perhaps that is why Isaac, now reconciled to staying in America, took the family to England the following summer to spend the whole season with his family and those members of Dora's who lived in England as well. So, Isaac, Dora, Leon, and seven-year-old Benjamin set sail for London. (Graham's eldest brother, Victor, had become such a prankster and rebel by then that, instead of traveling to Europe, he was sent to a disciplinary summer camp in Pennsylvania!) The family enjoyed a pleasant extended vacation in London and Brighton (where Dora's parents lived). According to Graham, the British operations of Grossbaum & Sons had been suffering badly just as Isaac's American branch had been thriving. Consequently, Isaac had become the primary breadwinner for his father, his ten siblings, some of Dora's family, and, undoubtedly, a much larger contingent of nephews and nieces. So it is probable that there was a heightened element of reverence and gratitude for the family among their British hosts.

I'm sure you can do just about anything with any module that takes SQL statements. Whether it's easy or not is another matter... I know I've looked at psycopg and some of the other modules at one point, and they just didn't seem as easy to me to use. (At least one of them couldn't easily handle simultaneous queries from multiple threads on the same connection...) I'm sure the state of the art has advanced and it's perfectly possible that python-pgsql or another module would do the trick. Note that the pgdb.py API is what comes with postgresql itself as the postgresql-python package.

"I just got back from UNC," Colburn told us on Saturday evening.
"It was awesome! The campus is beautiful, so spread out. They've got tons of pretty buildings, a lot to offer. The jerseys are sick too!"
"They apparently have the most extensive contract with Nike. This past year they didn't go a single game wearing the same uniform combo."
While there Colburn was able to speak to his recruiter and position coach.
"I talked to Coach Koenning and Coach the running backs coach."
Colburn shared with us what Koenning had to say to him.
"Coach Koenning said he was glad that I could come. He said he'd be down in the spring for some of our practices and told me to keep working so we can win another state title."
Gaining over 3,000+ yards and 48 touchdowns from scrimmage last season for Dutch Fork Colburn was a catalyst for their state title run.
Asked to rate his trip to Chapel Hill on Saturday on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best Colburn had a definitive answer.
"A 10! It was freakin' awesome. It really exceeded my expectations! The campus is spaced out and the building and facilities are beautiful and extensive. I was really amazed. The jerseys got me hooked too. I was able to try on two of them while I was there and get pictures."
Earlier last week Colburn picked up his first scholarship offer from Marshall. Given his outstanding junior season and having already broken numerous records at Dutch Fork with an entire season ahead of him Colburn undoubtedly should see more offers come his way before too long as his film starts to circulate.

WELCOME TO DAYBOOK, our daily collection of media and politics hits/misses from a wide variety of sources including (at the bottom) fun videos and musical picks. And return for updates every afternoon. Plus: Don't forget to keep up with fresh items, events and analysis on Twitter @GregMitch. Email: email@example.com. To increase type size hit the middle "A" above right.
Sunday morning TV: Axelrod announces Obama to (finally) address nation on Gulf leak from Oval Office this Tuesday. News also emerges that Obama will demand new "escrow" account for BP penalty payments. And he asks Congress for emergency $50 billion for states who will face "massive" layoffs of teachers, cops, firefighters.
Glenn Greenwald on John McCain's new piece calling for regime change in Iran, which is in the New Republic, "exactly where it should be."
Fantastic: You may have read that hard-rocking Rush is Rand Paul's favorite band (they once claimed to be libertarians and Ayn Rand fans). Now group is suing him for using one of their songs at victory party and in campaign. They think he is "a tool," no less.
Sunday's laughable Mo Dowd column: why can't Obama (Nixon) be more like good guy Joe BIden (Kennedy)? The trouble began when he did not schmooze with reporters on press plane back in 2008 …. Frank RIch: Why can't America be more like "Glee"? And, also, let people marry who they choose, just like Rush Limbaugh did.

Artwork in the Bathroom
Hanging Artwork Above the Bed. We've got artwork above our bed and love it. And we've got artwork above our couch. And in the kitchen, in the hallway and yes even above our drum kit. But the one place we don't have art? The bathroom. And when I think back to all the apartments I've lived in the past few years—I've always neglected the artwork in that room. Recent Apartment Therapy house tours have revealed that lots of people like hanging art in the bathroom. Most seem to choose one personality-filled piece in a strategic location—but we also spotted interesting collages, sculptures and even masks. Check out some of these inspiring bathrooms and the art they contain so well and see if there's any inspiration for your own bathroom. During this month of exciting "before and afters", this is one super simple idea that could lead to a quick and beautiful "after."

Welcome to One-Off Press
Our first books were truly one-off, that is handmade, one or two of a kind. The internet and technology has changed lots of things, including how books are made and read. Whether it's a PDF or a Kindle download from Amazon, the most obvious change is the e-book. Less obvious, but no less significant, is the print-on-demand book. For big publishers it means that the decision to reprint a book that might only sell a few copies a month or year is moot: any book can be converted to a digital book and reprinted and shipped to order. For the small publisher, it means being able to make available books that might never be published at all.

320ex or 430ex for a 70D ?
Mar 27, 2014
I have had in the past the 430EX ii speedlight and loved it on my 60D.
now I have a 70D and it is more video capable, and I need a speedlight. Question is do I give up any important features by going to the 320EX which has the LED for video? (as compared to getting another 430EX ii) ??

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia delivered some relatively positive financial news Friday.
Catholic Health Care Services, for example, which operates six nursing homes and a retirement home, had an operating profit of $3.9 million in the year ended June 30.
Results at the facilities, which have been for sale since the summer, improved significantly from a loss of $497,454 the previous year, according to an audited financial statement released Friday.
The nursing-home report was one of 16 published by the archdiocese, covering the Catholic Church's diverse operations locally, including cemeteries, high schools, and homes for the disabled.
In aggregate, the tax-exempt organizations recorded a 4.9 percent gain in revenue, to $436.5 million from $416.2 million. Meanwhile, expenses rose just 1 percent, which helped reduce overall operating losses and was another sign that the archdiocese was focused on bringing expenses in line with revenue.

FROM blowing back-to-back games in Texas last week to the inability to keep games close in the middle innings this week in Philly, the Phillies' bullpen has been a trouble spot in 2014.
The relief corps entered yesterday 0-3 with a 4.94 ERA through the first eight games of the season.
Coming into yesterday: Only six major league bullpens have allowed more runs (16). Only the White Sox and A's have more blown saves (two). Only the A's, White Sox and Reds have a poorer strikeout-to-walk ratio (1.54).

[CONCACAF UNDER-20 WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP] Sydney Leroux, winner of the Golden Ball and Golden Shoe at the 2008 Under-20 Women's World Cup, made it four goals in two goals with a pair of goals in a 4-0 victory over Trinidad & Tobago Saturday that moved the Americans into the semifinals of the 2010 Concacaf under-20 qualifying tournament in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Nebraska's Morgan Marlborough and Boston College's Kristie Mewis gave the USA the early lead with their first goals of the tournament before Leroux, the former Canada youth international, finished off the scoring with a pair of goals late in the first half. She also scored twice in the 6-0 win over Jamaica.
The USA dominated T&T with a 19-2 edge in shots.
Canada (2-0 winner over Cuba) and Mexico (2-0 winner over Jamaica) also won their second games, though only Mexico clinched a berth in the semifinals. Costa Rica defeated host Guatemala, 3-0, in the other game.

Former Progressive Conservative MPP and Newstalk 1010 contributor Peter Shurman admits he could have used better language in describing Olivia Chow and her performance at Tuesday's mayoral debate.As a round-table panelist on Newstalk 1010's Moore in the Morning Wednesday, Shurman said Chow had "proved herself to be, last night, pardon me, a major league biatch and not worthy of listening to, as far as I'm concerned." Fellow panelist, National Post columnist Christie Blatchford, seemed to agree with Shurman on the tenor of Chow's debate performance. "Olivia was bitchy. And not a terribly attractive candidate, frankly," she said.
When asked by host John Moore whether it is appropriate to describe a female candidate as "bitchy", Blatchford became exasperated."Yes, it's appropriate," she said, calling Chow's suggestion that fellow mayoral candidates Rob Ford and John Tory are "one and the same" "catty stuff".
Both Blatchford and Shurman were guests on Newstalk 1010's The Live Drive with Ryan Doyle and Ben Mulroney Wednesday night and largely stood by their comments.Blatchford dismissed the notion that sexism is at play."These aren't gender issues. Nobody's picking on Olivia Chow 'cause she's a woman. They're picking on her because they don't like her politics or her style," explained Blatchford.
Shurman offered an apology to anyone who was offended by his choice of words, but maintains Chow's behaviour at Tuesday's debate was "rather appalling"."She behaves like she wants to be seen as an attack dog and does things like calling Ford and Tory, in one fell swoop, a couple of millionaires when she's sitting and living high off the hog on our dollars," said Shurman of the former Toronto Danforth MP. "Could I have I used better language? Sure I could have used better language, but I expressed something visceral."
Chow addressed the controversy online, about an hour after Shurman spoke on the Live Drive. The mayoral candidate tweeted as part of a discussion about women running for municipal office in Toronto.

Tift County Commissioner Melissa Chevers and Captain Dennis Reese with the Tift County Sheriff's Office have joined forces to implement a Neighborhood Crime Watch on the south side of the county.
Reese says crime has definitely been elevating in the county over the past year and they need the help of the citizens to help stop this problem.
Chevers believes this area, around South Central Avenue is one of the more dangerous neighborhoods in the area. Chevers says she thinks crime will greatly decrease if the citizens start becoming more active and start being the eyes and the ears of the neighborhood.
Tift County Sheriff Gene Scarbrough says he only has about 50 deputies and they can't be everywhere at once, so the residents of this area really need to step up to the plate.
Scarbrough says they have Neighborhood Crime Watches in several other neighborhoods and they have already seen a positive impact.
For residents interested in joining the watch, Chevers is holding two meetings; the first at 6 PM on May 20th for residents who live on Emerson O. Bynes Avenue to Southern Avenue and the second at 6 PM on May 23rd for residents who live on South Central Avenue to Golden Road.

The Pacman just got 1.15 million buys for his fight with Antonio Margarito. That gives the Pacman three of the 16 bouts that exceeded one million buys in terms of PPV. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has three million dollar sellers as well, which is probably why so many people think the Pacquiao-Mayweather has to be made at some point. The money is too great.
Here's a quick look at all 16 fights that make up the list. A couple of caveats: This is only North American PPV. So don't get upset that I'm not including worldwide totals. But all of these bouts sold well overseas as well.

worth anything?
slightly larger than a u.s. quarter,
has arab script at the top of the obverse "KUWAIT" in english at the bottom...has a circle in the center with more arab script below "1oo" in it
reverse has a ship on the sea sailing left-wards.
under it it has what appears to be 2 dates...
1976 - 1276
anyone know what this coin is?....any clues to its value?
thanks in advance! ...mike
Kuwait 100 Fils (1/10 Kuwait Pound)
Not worth very much
Does it look like this?
(From worldcoingallery.com)
By the way, the dates 1976-1276 don't match.
The AH (Moslem) date 1276 is around AD 1860.
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies and Television
The San Francisco 1949 Peso
Face value is 36 cents, so it's worth something.
The dates on the coin pictured are 1988-1408. Yours might be 1976-1396, but I'd have to see it to be sure.
The inscription reads "Kuwait" with "100 fils" in the center circle. The ship on the obverse is a dhow, a common fishing vessel in the Persian Gulf.
These coins are probably scarce in unc at least for the early dates. They've never
gotten much respect because they're just high mintage base metal modern junk
but this is exactly why they weren't saved and the coins went into circulation. A
very few escaped their fate because they were carried back o other countries by
oil company execs and workers but even these were poorly cared for and had very
high attrition. Like we're finding with one modern after another these will probably
be tough in higher grades and scarce in unc.
The new Krause just raised prices this year to up to $6 for early dates. It's not a
safe bet that all the later dates are common. It just takes time for these emerging
markets to be shaken out by collectors.
I've put a lot of effort into this country and except for the coppers have found them
all to be elusive. There were no mint sets so there is no source other than those
which were intentionally saved in pristine condition. There has been virtually no
market for these coins so they were available for pennies. This was not condusive
to proper storage. I often think of the story on the US coin forum that someone had
set a bucket of base metal foreign out for the garbage man. How many of these
have been simply "consumed" by usage as play money or levelers for tables.
I have little specific knowledge of Kuwaiti coins beyond the difficulty of locating them
in the US.
Tempus fugit.
To give you an idea of the depth of the demand for these coins there are a
couple of proof issues with a mintage of sixty. The 1961 was the first year
for this series and had a slightly different design making it a one year type.
The 1961 (one year type) 20 fils coin in proof with a mintage of 60 lists for
This is why prices on moderns are so very very low; there's almost no demand.
But where demand materializes prices just pop right up because supply is
almost nonexistent for many of these coins.
Tempus fugit.
I was working in Kuwait a few years ago and tried to get as many uncirculated coins as possible. It was very difficult, because there's no easy outlet to buy them. If you go to a bank they'll give you what they have, which is a mix of dates, circulated or uncirculated and you'll have to sort through it. Unless there's some dealer who has a connection, it looks like almost all of every year's mintage goes directly into circulation.
thanks guys!

Yes. Exactly. I should have been more specific.
When I suggested that the ones saved were oftyen taken out of the country I
really meant that these account for a lot of the coins that have been saved from
the ravages of circulation. But this is a double edged sword since they can go
out of the frying pan and into the fire. It's also true that most of these coins that
flow away from a country are random rather than nice uncs. That means it's been
decades since any of the early coins in unc left the country in the pockets of vis-
iting foreigners.
It usually comes down to how many coins were saved locally. The coins that tra-
vel abroard often end up in dealer junk boxes where XF/ AU examples can be
found with some patience. But to a large extent many moderns simply weren't
saved at all. People have always assumed they are common so they aren't col-
lected and the people in the country haven't set them aside because they aren't
silver. In the old days (pre-WW II) lots of collectors in the US would work to ob-
tain new coins from around the world and there were dealers to assist. With the
removal of silver in country after another this ceased.
What we're left with is a lot of mass produced moderns that are nearly impossi-
ble in unc and a growing awareness of this among collectors. Demand is still weak
and primarily from the home markets or their old colonial power but these are be-
ing sought much more than they are beiong found. These coins are often made
of metals that just don't last or the currency they represent hasn't lasted. This
results in years of wear and heavy attrition and then whatever is left is gathered
up and melted. Some countries get exceedingly limited tourist interest so the coins
are even tough in poundage.
There are major countries with almost no coin infrastructure; no coin shops, no
source to buy coin supplies, and very few collectors. India appears to be one such
country. Even 20 years ago it was impossible to find something like old uncirculated
cu/ ni rupees in any of the major cities. You could always go to the banks but these
coins circulated heavily and were debased routinely. At each debasement many
would be removed and melted illegally by citizens. So even the old circulated coins
could be tough. Here's a country with a billion people in it climbing the social ladder
and finding old coins in unc might be a near impossibility. I'm not sure most aren't
tough in poor condition. Getting hard information was pretty tough twenty years
ago. It appears that many dates were aset aside in huge numbers and can be found
easily while the rest are nearly nonexistent in any grade. This is fairly common with
moderns; either they are exceedingly common or exceedingly scarce.
I don't believe anby of the Kuwaiti coins are hoard coins with the possible exception
of the coppers (I think Krause calls them ni/ brz).

COLUMBIA -- More than 30 percent of Nikki Haley's campaign cash has come from outside South Carolina, more than three times what her opponent Vincent Sheheen has raised out of state in their race for governor.
Sheheen's campaign quickly seized on the news.
"The truth is Nikki Haley claims to be an outsider, but more than 100 PACs have bought and paid for her vote," Sheheen campaign manager Trav Robertson said of the Republican state representative.
"No other candidate who has run in South Carolina history, to my knowledge, has ever gotten as much money from outside the state as Nikki Haley has."
Haley's campaign said Sheheen's campaign disclosure forms show the Democratic state senator has raised about 15 percent of his money from lawyers.
"Conservative, reform-minded business people from in state and out of state support our campaign," Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey said. "We're proud of that and believe South Carolinians will find that more acceptable than a candidate who has been bought and paid for by trial lawyers."
Lakhwinder Singh, who lives in Jamaica, N.Y., was one of several Indian-Americans across the country to send a check to Haley, whose parents emigrated from India to build a new life in South Carolina. Singh contributed $1,000 after he met Haley at a fundraiser in New York.
He said he has friends in South Carolina, but Haley's campaign is most important to him because of their shared heritage. He said Indian-Americans also rallied around Bobby Jindal in his successful run for governor of Louisiana.
"We are Indians and she is also an Indian," Singh said. "We like to help our community."
Indian immigrant Ram Singh of New York said he gave $250 to Haley because he wants to encourage a younger generation of Indian-Americans to pursue public service.
"I don't know her personally," Ram Singh said. "But I have been in this country for 40 years, I am from the same place that she originally came from. I just felt like helping her. I am American now, and she's American too."
It's natural for voters in ethnic groups to root for candidates who share their ethnic background, said Brian Brox, an assistant political science professor at Tulane University.
Louisiana has seen the phenomenon not only with Jindal, the nation's first prominent Indian-American officeholder, but also with U.S. Rep. Ahn Cao, R-La., the first Vietnamese- American congressman.
An article in the Hindustan Times noted that Haley has attended at least half a dozen galas organized by the Indian-American community, and estimated that she may have raised $250,000 at them.
At one event in New Jersey, Haley told the audience that she wanted to open up avenues for business ties between South Carolina and India.
Sheheen, whose ancestors emigrated from Lebanon in the late 19th century, has experienced similar support on a smaller scale, receiving contributions from the Arab-American Leadership PAC and from James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute.
Zogby, an active Democrat, met Sheheen in Washington and found him "real impressive."
Sheheen's Lebanese heritage is a "matter of pride" for Zogby, who shares the same ethnicity. "His opponent isn't the only one who comes from a diverse background," he added.
"Any group wants to have representation," Brox said. "If someone understands your community and how you fit into American society, you want to help them continue to have a voice in policy-making."
Brox said Cao's and Jindal's support among their ethnic groups hasn't caused much blow back among voters, though the quantity of their out-of-state donations has been an issue.
About 873 of Haley's 3,967 contributions listed on her most recent campaign disclosure form came from states outside South Carolina.
While only 22 percent of her donations came from out of state, those donors were more generous and contributed 31 percent of her $2.16 million.
That compares with 143 out-of-state donors to Sheheen, who listed a total of 3,383 donors. The out-of-state donors contributed slightly less than 10 percent of his cash.
During a campaign stop in Charleston last month, Sheheen criticized Haley for campaigning more outside of South Carolina, saying she's running "for governor of the United States."
Furman University political science professor Glen Halva-Neubauer said he was not surprised by the out-of-state giving.
"I think it's not so much about Democrat versus Republican," he said. "What I see is the nationalization of the South Carolina's governor's race."
Halva-Neubauer said that nationalization happened when former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin endorsed Haley. Palin's pull is evidence of 2012 presidential politics at play, he said, and a strengthening of Palin's political standing.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who Haley supported in his 2008 presidential campaign, runs a Massachusetts- based political action committee that contributed $17,500 to Haley.
Haley has received relatively more national attention, including a Newsweek cover, since her June primary win.
