Hello all of you coin aficionados out there and Welcome to the DC Coin World International Coin Channel

Today we have the 1958 D Roosevelt dime

and as you can see we're looking at the back or the reverse first

It says United States of America - e pluribus unum

there is a olive sprig here with some olives on it

a oak branch here with an acorn or two on it

and then at the bottom it says ONE DIME in the center is a torch and down here

at the base of the torch on our left is a D

when you look at these in terms of appraising them for value one of the most important things is

number one: that you see the lines going down the torch which we really can't see much on here

and the other is that these bands going across are full and that you

can see them because that's where the wire comes on these so we not only don't

have good bands on here we don't have good lines here we don't have much

definition in the flame and we have a pretty worn coin so this is not going to

be extremely valuable to a collector However! this 1958 coin is made of silver

so it's 98 90% silver 10% copper. In its silver value alone it's worth about

a $1.20 just in silver bullion value if you melted it down

so what that means is that people do melt them down or did melt them down

and there aren't as many of these around so even though they made a hundred and thirty-six and a half million of these in 1958

these are still very collectible as coins

they are priced anywhere from $2 so this one's probably worth $2 here up to about 22 to 30 dollars

I've seen one as an MS 67 which is the highest grading I guess there's

an MS 67 plus but ms 67 that sold for about $90 85 to 90 doll

so this one would not even be it well it might I guess you could say it might be

in fine but I don't think. So I think it it may be good - very good

so even if good - very good this coin is worth about $2 to a collector because

they're hard to get and they are silver if we look at the coin itself on the

front it says Liberty here you can see Franklin Roosevelt faced into the left

to the here lines here the definition of the ER is another thing you look for you

can see these lines in his eyes and kind of the eyebrows and eyelashes so this

coin has some definition but not the best under his chin it says In God We

Trust back here says 1958 kind that big stylized five and then down here

underneath it says JS and that's the engraver of this coin John Sinnock

who was the chief engraver I believe at the US Mint for years

and you see a lot of JSs on the coins from the US Mint so in 1958

As I said the Denver Mint made a 137 million which is far more than Philadelphia

so if you can find one on the back that has nothing here it's from the Philadelphia Mint

it may be slightly more valuable and the reason for that is that the Philadelphia Mint

Didn't use the P mint mark back then Philadelphia mint only made 30.7 million

whereas the Denver Mint made a hundred and thirty seven

Essentially Philadelphia made one-fourth as many so if you find one without the D

here that's gonna be a little bit more collectible

essentially it would make this coin here from being worth $2.00 to being worth $2.25

but a higher grade than this it would make it significantly more valuable

If it didn't have the D mint mark on the back

This coin as I said is 90% silver 10% copper it is 2.5 grams in weight

17.9 millimeters in diameter in 1.1 millimeters in thickness

it was minted from 1946 until 1964. So what happened in 1964 well after 1964

they kept the coin but they changed its makeup so from 1965 on they were not

silver coins so if you get this coin from 1964 or before it's gonna be worth a couple bucks

if you get it after 1964 it's probably going to be worth a dime unless

it's some kind of specialty coin or an incredibly good condition and the melt

value after 1964 is going to be in the 1 to 2 cent range rather than the $1.20

range for the melt value in this coin all right that's all we have today from

-------------------------------------------

DWG Block Editor - Custom Block with Switchable Visibility States - Duration: 5:06.

In a previous video,

we have seen how to make this block acquire "smart" capabilities

and thus be able to stretch the sides through grips

to lengthen the wall and the fence at the same time.

In this video we will learn how to use the "Visibility" parameter

in order to change between the 6 types of doors

that can be seen here.

The drawing that we have above,

is a Custom Block.

While the ones that appear here below

are drawings that combine arcs, lines and polylines.

The first thing we will do

is to incorporate the drawings of the doors

inside the Custom Block.

For this we select all the doors,

and with the key combination Control + X

we are going to cut them.

Now we double click on the Custom Block, to edit it.

Then use the key combination Control + V

to paste the doors inside.

In this case we are going to create an "element" of "Visibility"

and place it with a click.

We see that the panel containing the visibility states is enabled

and we click on Visibility State.

Since there are 6 doors,

we need 6 visibility states.

We can assign them a name,

or accept the one that comes by default

and change it later.

Now pay attention to these 3 icons.

Basically we have to go state by state,

and define what geometry is going to be seen

and what is not.

For example, in the first state of visibility

we want to see the indicated door,

and not the rest.

For this we use the icon on the right

to hide the unwanted doors.

We change to the next state,

and we will hide all of them,

except the first one in the bottom row.

We change to the next state of visibility,

to repeat the same action

and thus configure each of the doors.

all in all this icon helps us to hide geometry

in a certain state of visibility.

Once the visibility states are configured,

although the doors should be moved to their final position,

it is convenient to first test the block.

That's why we close,

save the changes and test it.

We select the block,

we click on the grip and

we test the visibility states one by one.

In the third option we detect an error,

since one more door appears.

We continue testing the rest

At the moment, only the third option has an error,

which we will correct by editing the block again.

We switch to the third state of visibility, and hide the unwanted door.

We close and save the changes,

to corroborate that the custom block is already corrected.

Now, we can edit the block to activate all the doors,

using the first of the three icons that appear

in the Display State section,

to be able to visualize all the elements,

turned off or not.

Then we can move each of the doors to its final position.

For this we will use the "Move" command.

We close and save the changes in the Custom Block,

to now try again the different states of visibility.

In any case the states of visibility

can have a proper name,

which we will be able to easily modify

This will help to be able to choose more easily

the type of door selected.

Eventually one could name each door

after its reference from the manufacturer.

In the first video, we have seen how to add grips

to lengthen the wall,

at the same time

we increase the vertical elements of the fence.

In this video, we have seen how to use visibility states

to vary the design of the door of this access,

, according to different pre-configured options.

In the next video,

we are going to combine the 2 concepts,

so that when changing for a specific type of door,

the type of fence is also changed,

while this is adapted to the length of the wall.

So I create an even more powerful block.
