"I'm not on the NGC Forum, do they have as many CAC threads?"

I think all the extra posts are a couple individuals trying to intellectually battle each other. I'm beginning to see more BS than knowledge! When these threads derail like this, it's just time to leave it where it sets and move on!

Totally agree with you.  

I detect confusion and disagreement among the masses of Sleepy Hollow.   You ought to take a trip over ATS to CU and see what the boys and girls think about this forum.  Oh, it's PG 13 and not for the faint of heart.

Signed, your friend 

Steve, refreshing to meet a collector on a budget.  EBay will be your best bet but for $15.00 you're gonna get some crappy stuff.  Good luck on the hunt.

  I like it.  Hope it makes it.

I find the date a bit unusual as the Japanese occupied the Philippines during that time frame.  Dug Out Doug didn't make his return until 20 October 1944.  Perhaps money carried by the invasion force?

Plain, in mint packaging, not certified by PCGS or NGC, sells for $75.00 on EBay.  

+1

I have a friend who is a psychologist and he could make a career out of analyzing these pages of syntax suffering coupled with adverb overload.

Adieu mes amis

1.  I agree 100% with VKurtB and 2. I would have left it in that old ANACS slab.  Just my opinion folks, that's all.

I can't tell you exactly what it is but it was coined with England's Queen Victoria on it.  In Mint State I think this is one of the most well designed coins.  Good luck with it.

Ah Quintus, I have seen the light.  So gentlemen, please feel free to carry on.  Or carry over or carry out or even carry me back to old Virginnie.

I love to play games.......................

I want to also say environmental but I think physics-fan3.14 may have a point.  I will hazard a guess that it is solder.

And thanks for bringing back your quiz.  They are both interesting and educational.

How does a non-collector even acquire these? They don’t exactly fall from the sky during thunderstorms. 

Maybe inherited or a gift?  Whatever, I have a feeling the news will not be good.

By the way Vkurt - I am currently in PA and moving back home to AL in the next month myself. Seems we are starting a trend!

Sorry to see you leave but have a safe journey and don't forget:  "Roll Tide!"

As long as you've got places like Etsy and to a certain extent eBay, you will have offerings made on raw coins (and some even slabbed) based on no observable objective criteria. The upshot: the coin langushed on a site until it was either sold, or more likely, quietly withdrawn from sale.  Buyer Beware!

Don't forget Alibaba - where every day is a bargain day!

I agree.  Especially that 95 O.  He should have seen that one coming.

Thass “Grounhog Pee” them fellers up there in the backwoods cook up. If you ever want to get sick reading something, look up “Boilo”, which is a Meade-like concoction they cook up in the anthracite coal regions. 
 

I’m bringing real legal PA whiskey. Many micro-distillers have sprung up since our liquor laws liberalized. 

Just did a search and I had no idea there were so many.  It's good to see a thriving industry spring up in PA.  Hope it turns out great for you.

What county is Temecula? I've been through Napa and Sonoma and I have friends in Petaluma. I'll bring some better Pennsylvania "hooch" (we're better known for distilled spirits) when I get there.

 

Oh, I see Temecula is WELL south. I need to either get to a Long Beach coin show or a Long Beach Grand Prix after I retire. And I have in-laws in Anaheim.

 

I hope it isn't that 'weather related' stuff they brew in the back woods of Punxsutawney.  What do they call that stuff?  'White Lightning' I do believe.  A glass or two and you'll be talking to Phil.

Old thread reopened by spambot, curiously in Spanish.

Oops!  It is true.  The older I get...........

Thanks.

What a poor design, in my opinion and only my opinion.  I agree with Roger; there should be no reason to have to tell us what the events is.  And my vote would be:

Rant HaHa.  Are you a ghost?  This place is a ghost town...specific enough?

Yet here you are.  Walking among the ghosts.
