Truly?

In June of 2019 no one would have thought that in "our lifetime" that the federal and state governments could or would force shutdowns of entire sections of the economy.

In June of 1932 no one was predicting that the government would or could outlaw gold ownership "in our lifetime"

In June of 1929 how many people were predicting a stock market crash by the end of the year.Just off the top of my head..

So what if a couple of large gold holding countries need cash more than a gold reserve and start dumping huge amounts of gold onto the market?

Do you think it would take more than a year of a market glut for gold to drop to $500 or less?

It looks to be a double struck Evasion piece.

CAC gem gold, as opposed to what, the spot price of gold which, continues to hiccup at various resistance levels at $1800 and change?  Unless circumstances dictate otherwise, I would wait until it exceeds $2000.  How will you feel if it hits 3, 4 or even $5000?

How would he feel if it $500,4, 3 or even $200

this made me remember a story or article a saw in a book I read a long time ago. I think it was one of Q. David's work. A famous numismatist bought a number of coins at a famous auction and was in his hotel room cleaning them and drinking. Somewhere in the night he confused his cleaning solution for his drink, never did finishing ruining that batch of coins

This is not surprising to me. The ones who have a golden parachute will jump.

Next those who have a counterpart in the other company with a better track record of toeing the line will be pushed

then it goes downhill from there

I have ridden such a roller coaster twice before it is no fun

I expected this to start several years ago and am surprised it took this long.

I was sure of it when there were a couple of high level departures a few months back. If I was working there I would have said to any who would listen to hang tight it is going to be a very bumpy ride

when I was putting together my Jefferson set I would go to my favorite coin shop and sit for a couple hours at a time sorting through fifties and sixties nickels. One day the owner says "you won't find a full step coin, you know". I answered "full step!? I will settle for full windows!"

OK, I'll provide facts.

Fact: Official COVID deaths is 6 million over the past 18 months. 3 million people die of hunger every month, so 54 million died of hunger since COVID. 

Fact: People who have/had COVID, but died due other reason were still called "COVID deaths" because the government was reimbursing hospitals at a significantly higher rate for COVID victims. Therefore, the official number is likely greatly inflated.

Fact: Dr. Fauci has flip-flopped more than a fish out of water. He is politically biased. He is completely untrustworthy. He is clueless. 

I have no bias against science, but if you bothered to do even the slightest bit of research on scientific topics, you'd be horrified. Scientific studies that are never replicated for more conclusive proof; money forces scientists to start with the outcome the money wants and work their way backwards; published studies that are completely wrong, but reported in the media as fact; political motives driving the sciences; etc. 

Fact you provide no reference for any of your Self Proclaimed facts ^1.

If this was in a Sophomore high school level research paper (when and where I was a sophomore in high school)^2 you would have just failed for presenting something as fact with no citation to prove your 'facts'.

1. NGC Coin forum "How many countries will make "Defeat of the Covid Empire" coins in 2021?"

2. Stevens High School Mr Grenier's Sophomore English class 1977

p.s. I would get no better than a 'D' for incomplete and / or incorrectly citation

So where did you find your 'facts'

I looked at the coin then wondered what made you write so much about what looked like an AU coin that looks to have a huge wheel mark on the obverse. 

Perhaps I am a bit blind in my old age, but I would spend that one

According to a source in Google, "the name Moxie is a girl's name of English origin meaning 'aggressive energy, know how.' " It is also a carbonated soft drink sold by a bottler in Boston.

I say President Bew-CAN-non.  A fellow Mississippi roommate laughed and said, it's BUCK-cannon. When I made a reference to a Gulf Coast town, Pass Chris-chien, he corrected me saying, it's Pass Chris-she-ANN.

I don't know what prompted you to provide a lesson in pronunciation, but believe regional dialects should be respected. How would anyone who hasn't been in the military know boatswain is correctly pronounced "BO s'n," or that forecastle is "FOLK s'l"?   I have never heard the original and accepted pronunciations of "suit" pronounced correctly.  But I always defer to locals. That means Saint Louis and not Sain'Looey.

I thank the OP for her forebearance.

wow Quint, you missed that one.

And yes Moxie is an old English girl's name and a soda, it was also my dog 

my post was about definition not pronunciation.

I hope they never hire that fool again.  It was for C H A R I T Y and not to impress some fools.  

actually he was praised. This was a collection of about two dozen bidders bidding on about 50 items with a couple of retired players holding up the items and very low key. 

Just because someone is willing to spend $400 on a $40 item does not make the item more valuable, just more expensive.

ex.

I was attending a charity auction after a spring training baseball game the year after Cal Ripkin retired. This auction was to support the local little league. When a signed Cal Ripkin ball came up two people got into a bidding war; when the price hit $100 the auctioneer paused and said that the ball was worth $40, and asked if they wished to keep going. The two nodded and the bidding went to $400.

exactly what makes you think this is a new variety?

All I see is a rather worn and damaged cent.

Please say what I am missing

Thank you

Who is to say, Your coin may be a proof they still made Proof sets in 1964.

Here is a 1965 set .The paperwork says it is a special mint set from the San Francisco mint. 

The question was concerning so called 1964 Special Mint Set. My comment concerned 1964 coins only. 

You can't. Even the experts who say that they can tell cannot give an explanation on how to tell. Other experts say they do not exist. In reality Special Mint Set is a misnomer as there were no sets ever made. Some experts say that the coin are merely first strikes on new dies that were kept aside.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I agree with you. And with my luck, and memory, I’d probably be the one that bought them a year from now. 

IF I were in your place and could afford it I would send them to ICG as they will encapsulate them with a label that says counterfeit. Then you could keep them as a memory of your father and a nice talking piece and no problem with memory lapse. not to mention a nice education display.

Welcome to the wonderful world of coin collecting

they look polished,but it could be your pictures

the picture is not clear enough for me to be certain but it does not look it. Can you get better pics?

Is there a way to move it or do I start a new comment there?

do not worry about it if the moderators think it should be moved they will take care of it. Your question seems like a perfectly acceptable question without being in the newbie forum. I have been collecting over fifty years and do not know the answer to your query. So I do not classify it as a newbie question

the answer is yes we make their coins and made them in 83. It is the same as a US cent so I would hang onto that until you know what is going on. You may want to get a pic of it on a scale and go to ASK NGC. 

please define old and provide pictures if you can

Oh, and welcome to the forum.
