My take away is the RWB determines the RWB fraction. Why is that? Just kidding Roger.

Krusty the Clown would be more fitting!

For smashing garlic?

Reminds me of …

Depends upon what you want to do or accomplish in retirement. There will be a work void, but it will also open up many possibilities that you never had time for or even thought possible. Staying interested and learning is key. Whether it is travel, or anything else - stay occupied and active. Research is a wonderful and satisfying pursuit as is many other activities such as volunteering. One question is what do you want to do with income you receive in retirement? Pass it along to family or charity, maybe something else? If you have the means - retirement allows you to expand or improve upon your collections or go in a completely new direction. Much to consider. Another question is when is enough, enough?

Are you on a PC? I don’t see the numerical scores on a tablet.

Definitely too large and maybe a bit too colorful.

Nice coins - good luck with the grades. Sovereigns are great and the first King Charles have some nice designs as well.

Oops

The grades won’t show but the coins themselves will be listed once they are received and entered into the system. In the US this can take a few days after they are recieved up to about ten working days depending how busy they are. Just a ballpark figure. Welcome to the OP, what coins are you submitting?

I viewed most of them and asked questions in all that I viewed. Overall a very good line up with a couple that were better than expectations and frankly a surprise. I thought all of them were very well done and I took something away from all of them. Well spent time. I did not see the making of a podcast, the LSCC meeting, and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.

After the short video, there was a panel discussion between two informed panelists - it’s something that should be viewed and not summarized. It will be on the NNP site in a couple of weeks. Not what I was expecting.

Government Policy and public behavior also played a large part.

Looks like an interesting read. Might just have to pick up a copy.

Anyone watch the NNP Crypto panel discussion yesterday. Interesting back and forth, not what I was expecting. It’s worth watching again. Thoughts?

Loads of good topics - looking forward to yours along with many others.

I know what you mean - I gave up on another Sovereign book, but am very confident that the one I’m working on is completely new information.

Check with Star City Homer here or Stork at PCGS. She may not know, but may know someone that does.

Looking for anything special at Coinex? The summer course sounds great.

How are the images in the included sovereign series? How extensive does he list varieties? thanks

I view modern sovereigns (1817-1916) as coins as they did circulate and had a universally known value. They did not need a demonization on them. Circa 1916 for all practical purposes, they became bullion and is currently valued in that manner. The early hammered sovereigns starting in 1489 is for another discussion. Many English Crowns also did not have a denomination - they are also coins. as for the Saudi discs, I’m torn on what to call it - Bullion?

If I end up going to Pittsburgh, I’ll drop by and say hello.

I’ve only been to a few auctions in Pa., but enjoyed them. I’m considering the ANA in Pittsburgh this year. The last one was near Eisenhower’s place. They were having a WWII convention at the time.

From what I remember - the focus was on significant collectors and not dealers. There are a few dealers in the book as well.

Was it @Goldfinger1969 or @Hoghead515 that was looking for a book on collectors some time ago? Or maybe someone else - I forget. Q. David Bowers wrote one that was published by Stack’s Bowers Gallery in 2020 that might be of interest called Those Who Led the Way. It’s out of print, but can be found occasionally. Just thought I’d mention it if either of you were still interested. I’ll send you the table of contents if you’d like.
