VKurtB got a reaction from zadok in How many of the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins were minted within the past 100 Years?
Like everything else in this hobby, these Top 100 lists are 100% opinion and nothing more.

VKurtB got a reaction from Henri Charriere in How to pick out a good Unc or Proof Set?
Okay, this is fact: NONE, absolutely NONE of the 1959 to 1964 brown envelopes, nor the white 1965 S.S. envelopes, nor the white 1959-1981 envelopes, nor any other envelopes, were shipped sealed by the Mint. All were unsealed from Day One. If you find one sealed, some foole sealed it after owning it. Don’t EVER EVER EVER assume anything good about any sealed envelope. Someone is running a con.

Or…., just bear with me a moment, he could realize people here actually know their stuff and believe them. But no, I guess that wouldn’t annoy enough people, right?

Hello? Is this thing on?
#5 1933 DE
#11 1943 Bronze Cent
#36 1933 Eagle
#58 1927-D DE
#71 1955 Doubled Die Cent
#86 1974 Aluminum Cents
Sounds like six to me.

VKurtB got a reaction from J P M in a meaningful alternative to roll hunting and change checking and fruitless error searches that amount to urinating into the wind
My Dansco albums that COULD hold coins that could be found in roll hunting are ALREADY filled with Brilliant Uncirculated coins, mostly cut from U. S. Mint uncirculated and proof sets, as available. (1982 and 1983 having to have been found otherwise.) So what could I possibly want with roll hunting? The newest coin I don’t have in BU condition is from the 1930’s. And those are all 90% silver. Is anyone finding 1930’s silver coins in BU by hunting rolls? Didn’t think so.

YES! THIS! PLEASE STOP THIS! IT IS LITERALLY MAKING ME WANT TO GIVE UP ON THIS HOBBY!

VKurtB got a reaction from Fenntucky Mike in Has this cent had a hard knock life (i.e. damage) or am I looking at a mint error?
The fact that you know nothing about Jay-Z is what makes you a virtuous citizen. I never know any musical guest on Saturday Night Live anymore, and I couldn’t be prouder.

VKurtB got a reaction from Henri Charriere in 1991 P Quarter errors or just damage?
If you find it in circulation, the probability that it’s an error is about .0000001.
The probability it’s just damage is .9999999.

Yes, but it is a wide receiver, and not a tight end.

VKurtB got a reaction from Henri Charriere in Last 50 Year Last Century Coins
How about a 2019 “Snowman” 50p struck 4 times on a medal press by myself? Can that be a Specimen strike? Or do I have to type it up on a typewriter and stick it in a NARA box?

Stop. Please. You’re embarrassing yourself.

VKurtB got a reaction from Henri Charriere in Would you open a mint sealed 50 year old bag of denver pennies to search for possible new die errors?
“New die errors”!?!?!? Stop it, man. You’re killing me.

Waffled coins are found at the Waffle House, no?

VKurtB got a reaction from GoldFinger1969 in The S.S. Central America, Tommy Thompson and that contempt of court citation.
That “Ship of Gold”stuff provides a TEMPORARY bump in prices that fairly quickly evaporates. Here is the rub. You can’t get one during the hype without paying up. You can’t buck the system. If you want to pay a normal price, you have to wait for somebody who has one (or their heir) to sell. Then you can do business.

VKurtB got a reaction from Henri Charriere in Care to guess the grade: 1907 Barber Dime
There is a plethora of photo chemicals from Agfa-Gevaert of Leverkusen, Deutschland that would take down that toning. And NOT ALL OF THEM (contrary to often stated herein incorrect opinions and statements) contain harmful acids like hydrochloric. Yes, that damnable numismatic product EZest does, but people who are not limited to chemicals sold by coin dealers know there are faaaaar gentler options. Ya’ gotz ta know yo’ stuff.
Traditional monochrome photography is based on silver and its compounds.

I am terrible at grading Barber dimes. This one has some nasty dings but the surfaces are otherwise nice. I think anyone under 60 is kidding themselves.
