According to PCGS, the $20 Mormon gold coin was the first double eagle struck on US soil for general circulation. Look for an in-depth story on our blog soon!
Have you visited the online museum Mintage World yet? It’s got thousands of coins and other items, cataloged and easy to access for all visitors.
How to appear confident, even when you’re not.
Is Pluto’s cold surface hiding a distant ocean? NASA has the details.

I love the museum, it is a great idea, and they had done an outstanding job with it. In particular I like that they have detailed descriptions, and historical background.
I love seeing more of this kind of thing show up; it’s the perfect use of the internet to store and share information with the greatest number of people possible!
