  1. Professor Harold used to hold some giveaway contests here. I thought they were fun. I don't really have anything to give away, but maybe someone (Slightly Evil) does. Maybe someone from HA could contribute, write it off as advertising.
  2. MS 62 and staying with that guess although MarkFeld put doubts in my mind. A nice prize bsshog40..
  3. Come on GBrad, come back home. Don't forget where you were raised. Lol. Let us know how this one turns out, and your other discoveries as well. You've got a lot going on. Good luck Detective Bradford.
  4. My youngest son owned a bar/restaurant in downtown Seattle, and I went to visit for a week. It rained several times every day I was there. Everyone carried a light raincoat just in case. Mildew thrived all around his home. Four years later he bought 12 acres and a home 15 miles east of San Diego. What a contrast! It barely rains at all there. He'd never watered plants, shrubs, and other landscape items before. Lol. Coinbuf, it doesn't get 120 degrees here in N Texas, but the100's are humid as heck. Since I live close to DFW airport, it seems I'm the chosen one for family and friends to park their cars at my house, and I take them to the airport and pick them back up on arrival a few weeks later. In the summer, it's always the same statement from everyone when we walk outside of the terminal to the parking garage. "OMG!" Ninety two degrees in darkness at 230 am with not a whisp of breeze is unexpected and shocking, and we're all dripping wet when we finally get in the car. Boots and jeans at work and horsing, but shorts and sandals when I can. I love it though, anything below 40 degrees and my natural smile disappears. ---- I got carried away about weather, and forgot to mention that we have a book sharing shed in our small town, take one leave one, across the street from the public library of all places. I'm going to leave some numismatic books in it, and leave some penny, nickel and dime albums to the side of them. Thanks for the ideas.
  5. I've always rewound, relooked, and then paused coins and bills in old movies and TV series. Most are real, some it's hard to tell. Early Gunsmoke, Wagon Tain, even the Three Stooges in the 30's from time to time. It's enjoyable to me. ("Please don't clean them")
  6. Wow! It took a long time to figure out the picture of the little girl. It reminds me of the "Find the Hidden Pictures' in magazines of long ago.
  7. Steve, be sure and read 'What you need to know about posting coins for inquiry", located at the top of the page of the Newbie section,
  8. tj96, this thread might last awhile, I hope. My eyes need a break from the constant pareidolia I've acquired. Good stuff.
  9. Good guess JT2, but not a RR tracker. Possibly, if it was in the middle of a stack of coins, but doesn't look like it. --- Moxie15 is a machinist, he might have a good forensic opinion.
  10. I did the same thing. No use in spending the time to learn all over again, already familiar. Lol. Yes, I think we're crazy.
  11. I see your finally using English correctly in everyday speech. Keep up the good work! I realize masks and chewing tobacco hinders the learning process somewhat, but you're coming along just fine.
  12. Didn't see that one coming. Hope you find a smile. Good luck.
  13. YES it's cold JP, lol. Somewhere around the 'balmy 45 degrees' temperature the long johns go on and don't come off till it hits 46. I admire anyone that lives up there. Vacationed everywhere in the summer. Had to go to a few funerals in Michigan and Wisconsin in the winter, each time flying out of Chicago swearing that wouldn't happen again. Lol. It will. It sure is a fast and beautiful Spring up there.
  14. Mine have never been returned with a numerical grade. Just AU Whizzed, not AU55 Whizzed, or MS cleaned.
  15. That was then. I'm using those cutoff jeans for kindling now trying to get a fire started. LOL
  16. Where's QA when you need him. The trivia master is gone.
  17. I'm not concerned at all. I sent them a box with 4 coins 01/05/22. Going through my desk yesterday, I found all four coins in flips. I sent them an empty box. Kind of funny, but sad that I insured it for so much. I've been messing up more frequently the last few years, but I out did myself on that one.
  18. Later this afternoon, I'm going to put on my blue jean cutoffs, walk down the trail to the lake and go fishing. You all take care and be safe.
  19. Disregard. Used stamp website for answer
  20. I've got eight Folgers coffee containers full of pocket change quarters that I've never inspected. If I can get some ambition, I'll go through them and see if I can help fill gaps for anyone. I was going to cash them in, but I'll keep them and go through them, sooner or later.. Edit: Just found out when I went to my closet to get them that for some reason the cannisters weigh 3 times what they did last year. I guess I need to pump some weights. LOL
  21. Finally, something I can grade. AU55, was an AU58 till the full smile wore off.
  22. Thanks for searching back through the threads QA. Find us some good ones, we need it here.
