...its the altitude....

...besides the legit aspect, would u actually want anyone to even know bout it n that u had it...n would u trust our govt to not try n find a way to take it away from u, their track record is very tarnished...there r several coins out there that r not reflected in any archives, books or commentaries n will most likely remain that way...i have seen a couple that r not supposed to exist n respect the owners desires....

...ill pass, there is already way too much gallus gallus domesticus poop on the forum now...n my emojis r all u for u n ur condition...fyi ngc declined to add my requests, oh well maybe next time....

...no, im talking bout bank rolls that collectors ordered or got from their local banks each year not assembled coin rolls from mint sets...example, recent local estate...gentleman died like 20 years ago, his children just got around to selling his coin collection last year through several sessions of auctions due to volume of coins, 42,000 pocket change in coffee cans plus all his whitman blue trifolds n 3000-4000 mint sets n over 2000 bank rolls of nickels, dimes, quarters n halves...he started buying rolls soon after the big rush on 1950-D nickels, his bank rolls ran from 1952-1978 when he quit buying rolls...i attended every auction session n bought just about everything i wanted, silver sold for silver n post 64 sold for face, none of the local collectors wanted rolls of anything...a few came to me n wanted to know if i wanted to sell individual coins or could they go thru the rolls...nada...i wholesaled out the entire lot including the 10,000 circ wheat pennies i had to buy as a lot to get a couple of linc bank rolls i wanted...my one collector son wanted all the 63-64 wash qrts to check for varieties, i personally did not check any of the coins....

...i never had any issues with it, even with quarters n halves....

...u r very fortunate n u need it as well...obamacare is neither care nor cure more of oscrewucare...i am equally fortunate n have no premiums nor co-pays n covered head to toe, eliminates a lot of stress that other folks who worked all their lives n cant afford nor receive adequate care have to deal with, i reflect on that often when buying something i dont need (read coins) n think bout others trying buy food or medicine for their families, not a fair world, but i earned what i have...Godspeed on ur surgery....

...ur welcome....

...i think u may be onto something there in that last part....

...theres a reason they r not in the shops or at the shows, there r no buyers n they dont sell n the dealers r not going carry them around or take up space with them....

...but u could go into ur local bank n request they obtain mint boxes or bags before then....

...more than i can carry, as mentioned these sell at face....

...this thread has been done before but go for it...no real down side to it....

...we definitely need a broader variety of emojis on this forum....

...my prayers r with u...u still have much to contribute....

...ditto central ohio, western pa, western wv, southern ind, northern ky...i go to several weekly coin auctions in that geographical area, bank rolls of wash qrts, roos dimes, jeff nickels, linc cents r always being sold often by the bank boxes...the post '64 dates sell for face plus auctioneers 10%, the pre '64 silver wash n roos normally silver plus 5-10 % sometimes under melt plus auctioneers 10 %...i buy the silver if under n ship to my refiner when silver moves the post '64 stuff just sell in bulk to local flea dealers, never open any of them, there r often several hundred rolls sold i see no dearth of any of these if one wants them....

...more classic textbook...feeble attempts at deflection...so sad....

...if u owned this coin today, would u publicize ur ownership?...think bout it....

...everyone sees this issue thru their own lens...i just go by what i see in the fundamentals, what my own personal experiences show me n from what some of the founders of all 4 of those organizations have related to me...other persons experiences often have personal biases involved...time will tell all....

...nope....

...john's goals r a bit more indepth that just trying to get a part of the market, i believe he is changing the market...the "two top dogs" r playing catch up...the auction results on "beaned" coins speaks loud n clear...also the number of submissions to cacg willing to accept downgrades on crossovers is very telling....

...as one would expect no surprises there....

...its already happening...the cac beans r not based on high grades nor rare coins, same criteria applies to all coins, all grades common, scarce or rare....

...point was nothing official bout it.... epitath: ...here lies q.a. knew not a pound an octothorpe found won a prize but no renown sad, sad demise.... .......(capital letters r only for important people).......

..."a fistfull of saints" has a nice ring to it...fyi, the saints market is active... there was a local transaction tween dealers here pcgs au50 1907 hr bought 8500 sold 9500, wasnt in my wheelhouse but i thought very reasonable price?....

...fyi, there is no "official" name for this symbol...the "pound sign" has been around for a few centuries n is well grounded historically n numismatically derived from the british currency symbol much the same as the $ symbol being derived from the abbreviated symbol for these united states; whereas, the "octothorpe" name was a 1960s technical extension of the symbol to provide non-numeric function on evolving keyboard usage derived from being 8-pointed n umbrage to one, jim thorpe...
