The ultimate fate was the melting pot, apropos of the American experience. 

PUHLEEEEZE put the screened microscope away. 

That is some NASTY strike doubling, but there IS NO doubled die 1963 proof quarter in the literature. That is how this works. A doubled die would have been discovered in 61 years. “Discovery coins” almost never are real. BTW, the corrosion on that coin is also nasty. 

But NGC recognizes none of them. And to me, Wexler is NOT a reliable source. I realize that many disagree, but I have decided for myself.

Learning to grade, I submit, runs a close second to learning to ATTRIBUTE, that is, knowing what one is, AND IS NOT, looking at. 

That is not what grading is for.

Eat from drive-through fast food, wear diapers, and have Smith and Wesson on your hip.

It’s all good. We have internalized these truths many years ago.

I checked in and registered today, Thursday (Donnerstag) for the Friday, Saturday, Sunday show. I am told I avoided a sick long queue tomorrow. The cover for the show program:

Not physically possible. 

This is 100% FRAUD and EMBEZZLEMENT by the two Uglo-Americans at the top. Why do people trust ANYTHING to 20-something’s? They are all criminals or m-o-r-o-n-s. If you find one who CAN think, they’re running a scam. 
 
Both of SBF’s parents are Stanford law professors and they look like co-conspirators at this point. 

My wife referred to her as a “two bagger”.

I’ve been doing it for 61 years. I was grading coins waaaaaaay before there was an Internet to misinform me. You need to look at thousands of coins. NOT PICTURES OF COINS! Coins. In your hand. In proper light.

You are approaching wisdom, grasshopper. 

Hardly.

Aw hellz naw.

Sure. Or uranium. Place it under your pillow to store it. The incredibly huge majority of people who play with precious metals get their behinds kicked. Anyone who gets into coins for “lucrative” reasons is a foole. 

No. Stop it.

No. Stop it.

Have a drink.

What makes any error or variety valuable is an excess of demand over supply. Put another way, if someone, hopefully MANY someones, are willing to fork over “currency of the realm” in order to obtain an error or variety coin, then it will have value. But that is NOT what is happening in the VAST majority of cases. We have seemingly gazillions of roll searchers out there occasionally unearthing a truffle (not unlike the metaphorical blind pig), and their precious find is greeted with either a lengthy yawn or an excessively polite, “gee, that’s neat”. But unless people are peeling off greenbacks to buy these precious little nuggets, it’s never going to be worth the time and resources used for the hunt.
