  1. That Ol’ saying “When looting starts the shooting starts” (Walter Headley chief of police Miami Florida 1967)
  2. Thanks goodness they did not dabble into world coin sectors … they were talking about it once but plan must of gotten scrapped probably due to large spread in world graded coinage lack of population reports and so on …. We are living in the days where coin grades over lap so much nobody cares unless they can get a higher grade that worth more $$$… so it’s safe to say all everyone cares about is flipping coins for more money ? But not the true to heart collecting ? but “hey ! Theres a new grading company let’s promote them and spend our hard earn money and jack the prices up!!!” …. Welcome to Market grading !!!! Driven by dealers and graders and buyers who take the biggest hit spending their hard earned cash
  3. Seems like coin shows are becoming target places for thieves to hang around after show over they follow a dealer to their house or where ever … extreme cautions need taken when purchasing or moving expensive coins at the shows never know what looney bin is following you home … Even a more reason to start carrying a handgun
  4. We were just talking about this other day seems like there a lot of robberies and coin theft going on lately in last week or so please read the article https://coinweek.com/numismatic-crime-coin-dealers-home-car-robbed/
  5. I’ve seen some Soviet coinage get some high demand bidding prices in auctions …. You have look into mintage and dabble around in that field to see what is in demand with certain collectors … it’s a small crowd of collectors in that sector
  6. Sorry you feel that way … wait ! Nah I’m not ….. countless people chimed in on this topic , yet you still have doubts about useful information we gave you on here … you’re not following through with the hobby you want to strike it rich $$$ with some odd end coin that you do not have !!! Some of guys who chimed in on this topic been collecting longer than I have before my mother and father ever thought of having me ….. they studied this series they strictly told you do NOT have what you think you have …. Then you tell us about “3 dealers” you went to see they confirmed it as well …. Nah! that’s a B.S story we smelt miles and miles away we don’t believe that we aren’t that Naive !!!! I’ll stand behind some of long time collectors on here and their judgment am I testing the waters no I don’t find anything funny , more of pity when someone just don’t want take useful resources and advice on here …They rather mock our hobby and the collectors on like we don’t know anything or we are naive about the advice we give on here to a newbie… stubborn people on here are met with criticism sometimes … that goes on every at coin forum I wish you luck submitting your coins or whatever but don’t be surprised when they come back VG 8 or VG 10 and a big bill for grading fees…. basically you’re delusional sums it up …. Have a nice day
  7. At work I put this up in my office when I get some stubborn workers ! 🤦‍♂️
  8. Probably hassle move all coins to safe every night … by sounds of it looked like he had pretty large inventory …. Sorta reminds of Julian’s coin shop that guy had tons and tons of coins laying around in display cases and in boxes and so on looked like a huge lifetime hoard of coin buying over all the years … basically impossible to lock all that stuff up in vault every night and get it all back out in morning put out in display again just to have 3-5 customers walk I. For the day
  9. @GoldFinger1969 I missed other thread until you mentioned it
  10. Odd robbery , thefts didn’t even want gold coins ! They didn’t even touch cash register … all they wanted were Silver dollar (Morgan dollars) $56,000 worth of Morgan dollars stolen https://www.krtv.com/news/crime-and-courts/thieves-steal-56k-worth-of-coins-from-helena-shop
  11. Open carry around here is allowed in state of PA but however it draws attention cops respond to calls they show up asking questions and stuff … why ? I have no idea why ! The cops should tell Karen over the phone that is within someone’s right to open carry …. Only problem where Open carry gets shady is getting in your car with a loaded handgun unless you have license to carry you’re fine … just too many Karens out there with 911 on speed dial
  12. Nuffing wrong with that ! I’d rather be surrounded by bunch law abiding concealed carry gun owners, than to be in a show with only couple of security or cops walking around … shows are not Federal buildings 🤷‍♂️ which you should have right exercise your conceal carry rights … at the gun show while everyone handguns were being unloaded as per the police officer at the door , if you were to go into the bathroom look at garbage can full of cut off zip ties 😂 guys/gals just loaded them right back up and continued on at the gunshow
  13. @VKurtB have you ever carried concealed to coin show ? I’ve been to gun show once was carrying they had me take it out police officer unloaded it out of chamber , and handed me back my magazine and live round he put draw tie in chamber to keep it open said I could still carry just not loaded until after I leave building …. I heard once a dealer lady at coin show bought her concealed weapon which I don’t blame her she had go out on parking lot to get coins into the building to table …. They told her leave the gun in her car ! She wasn’t too happy about it …. That’s what I heard I wasn’t there to see it go down I seen police there at front doors all time
  14. Every state should be constitutional carry ! Do away with the permits !!! In state of PA I had go sheriffs office to have back ground check for license to carry …. I often wonder what do they do with that money afterwards ? Shove it in their pockets ? What’s that money go towards ? Democratic Party slush fundings ?
  15. @VasquezJ if you want a nice nice Buffalo nickel? my advice as long time collector with enough common sense is to save your money and stop submitting worn down coins that are not even worth submissions nor slabbing fees I'm not a professional grader or master or anything like that … but I do study up on coinage and I have for over 30+ years , I’m still learning new stuff each year in the hobby …. I would not waste my time nor my money sending in any of the coins you are showing us …. Why why why Would someone waste such money like that when they could buy MS coin and build a decent collection something to have pride about wroth showing ….
  16. I’ve seen that on PCGS forums … pretty funny
  17. You submitted these coins 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
  18. @VasquezJ nope they are average circulated Buffalo nickels in the picture you provided for us to view nothing special about them
  19. @VasquezJ heritage auction has sold one that I found the link is here it gives a description of the coin apparently there’s no documentation that back these up … perhaps mint never documented them ? @RWB does a lot research on mints and documentations he might would know about them or why they are “special strike” https://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-buffalo-nickels/1927-special-strike-5c-sp65-pcgs/a/1124-2168.s
  20. If you look at coin even a mile away we can tell you this was PMD … you can clearly see “brush lines” on the coin someone used a stiff wire and brushed it across the coin leaving deep scratch lines on it all going the same direction therefore it’s a damage coin
  21. Yes indeed I tapped the link right after I posted to you …. That picture looked like it was take 5 feet Away
  22. I don’t do instagram! Post a picture on here …. Not hard use a phone then crop the picture post it on here
