What kind of cheese?

(Actually, the fabric pattern is a good match for the bag canvas used in 1890.)

maybe you should stick to polka or reinvestigate some more light bulb receipts..

That's the kind of coin that the grade is inconsequential to the enjoyment of seeing it.. 

A really fine example..

Thanks.

Yeah I have close to 100 w quarters and about 15 rolls with W ends I’m saving back for the kids. Also Two slabbed are 68 and 6 slabbed at 67. My most valuable finds from vending is from nursing homes I guess the elderly people are using there old collections to buy snacks and drinks. I found an 1856 G$1 one day

You sir ,Are my new hero...

Man you can't help but be a coin collector... And Coinbuff  WHOKNEW??

Thats awesome.. Do you know how many times I've read posts that were "Hey I got such and such out of a roll" And it turns out to be a chucky cheese token?

This is like an early Christmas present.. Thanks.

Tyvm I’m pretty sure I’ve found a ms 68 and I just know the value is a lot more for NGC on these than pcgs, if it is indeed a 68 it’s a $3,000 difference 

 

No pics?

No death knell here.  We are one big group of happy campers. Including me!  My notifications have been disabled. I cannot follow anyone. Anything I write is subject to review, delayed, deleted or disinfected.  Perfect for someone like me who doesn't take things personally. If I had known ahead of time that my one and only post would be placed on the internet for all the world to see -- perfectly legal and within NGC's rights -- I might have demurred, but the cat is out of the bag and I have to deal with it. I still can't get over the fact that my photo, posted on the PCGS Set Registry, magically appeared here now and for all eternity.

You drinkin again Quintus?

[All the mergers in the world are not going to resuscitate a Forum without the gruff, reassuring voice of VKurtB.  Me thinks the move south has tamed him. Either that or the emergence of a deadly strain of the virus emanating of late from the UK has exasperated him and put a crimp in his retirement travel plans.  You are sorely missed wherever you are, dear friend!]

it's in the 60's in Birmingham.. Thats mid summer temp for him

But you were the one who said, and I quote:  "I will gladly pay you face value plus postage..."  Forget 1964, are you aware a run-of-the-mill Wartime nickel is worth one dollar based on silver content alone?

Yawwwnnnnn..

A coin I purchased [not further identified due to the possibility of incurring VKurtB's wrath] and listed as FDC (Fleur De Coin) or a range of from MS-65 to MS-70 USA, was formally graded by PCGS as MS-64+,

I heard this from my sister who got the other half of the connection. I'm not making an empty accusation

I wasn't referring to but to the board member who was maligning honest businesses from his ignorance that turned to willful ignorance ..

I know nothing about coins. What's wrong with getting a little info on this thread?

There is nothing wrong and thats what we do.. We don't give financial advice which the same member was doing.. 

Your fine. Welcome to the boards and Merry Christmas.

Given the amount on money involved, it might be useful to check with an estate accountant to see if it is possible to use your father's basis in the coins rather than the inherited basis -- too many variables in your individual situation to suggest more things. Hopefully, you have access to receipts for the other coins also although the gold likely cost less than the inherited basis.

Seriously.. Chat boards are no place to get financial advice.. If you want to know what EF means , Well RWB and anyone who has been here over a month can tell you...

 But as you have seen in this thread ,You can get a lot of WRONG info..

 Contact a REAL financial adviser.

It's also a cautionary tale of the lengths to which "telemarketing crooks" will go to cheat people. $17 each for 1964 Kennedy halves is an all too common occurrence. We'll see much more of this as the generation of victims from the 80s die off.

Since the hobby/business lacks standards and a strong hobby protection organization, it is extremely difficult to bring a successful prosecution against the crooks.

You had time to check your "facts" and you are still WRONG

He bought 1,000 1964 Kennedy halves for $17 each? That is "criminal" of the seller. One can hope he did not pay similar markups on the other coins.

WRONG.

He purchased them in April 2012

Silver bullion prices were approx $32.00  an ounce. Your father paid the appropriate amount. He was not scammed or ripped off. 
You have to do some investigating yourself ..

It's very easy to come here and insinuate or outright accuse When you don't know, especially when certain members here blow smoke up your arse ,but they did NOTHING WRONG..

Your Father  tried to make a hedge against inflation and invested in precious metals. Sometimes you kill it, Sometimes you get killed.. 

In this case he got neither. On they contrary ,You have a fart ton of Kennedys to check for Doubled dies and other varieties..

You came out a winner in this. Your Dad did you right.

I don't think it's a clip
