  1. I logged in and saw no indication that it's under the enrollment program, only can add to wishlist. ....A side note, The product I did have in enrollment is now gone.
  2. I have a account with USPS and do my shipping labels online when possible, sometimes it saves me a few cents/dollars, hence the reason for them having my address.
  3. Yeah, I think I use this now but I call mine a debit/credit card. It's got the chip and everything. I guess I'm missing something here.
  4. If you use the USPS app and have a account made with them it will store the info you want. It automatically recognizes your shipping address and places shipping To's and From's there. (assuming you use same addy when signing up and ship from for pkgs.) It's a great resource. I should state...Most of the Time it does.
  5. My work internet took a nose dive over the weekend(virus of sorts by someone) and we have limited net, my personal phone is almost useless in our facility. Nothing for me.
  6. 2 more additions to my 59' collection. Given that there are numerous countries out there this could be a interesting ride. I present a 1959 German 5 Mark and a 1959 Greece 10 Drachmai. (I think they could of fed the eagle a bit more though..haha) If I am to trust Wiki there is 108 potential coins to collect.
  7. I won't attempt to guess a grade but I think 63 or better as mentioned....and frankly I think it's a fantastic looking Reales regardless of whom grades it. Nice addition !
  8. @Bunnygin I also had concerns the other day but recalled something about upgrading the system to include the now recognized CAC sticker, once a day or 2 passed it seemed everything for the most part is updated correctly.
  9. Being fairly new to more dedicated collecting the last few years and with this silly covid restrictions have made some of us somewhat dependent on using the internet and various selling platforms for collecting. I have had to trust others opinions and descriptions of coins in the marketplace and forums like this for info, data...etc. I have learned that about 50% cannot be trusted(this is the big market/auction sellers not forum ppl) with their opinions on a coin. Numerous what I call high dollar items I have purchased, over trust, has cost me some expensive learning and many of those items have been returnable but some not....in the tune of $2000+. Had this been a brick and mortar store and talking face to face with the seller I can assure you I would regain my losses either by speaking to the person or by legal means if necessary. I don't take being ripped off lightly. ...so, with that being said "Honesty is the best policy" ...and the CAC stuff, it should have NOTHING to do with the grade of a coin IMO but only the additional appearance due to toning, luster and the like.
  10. Still have some, Silver is on the rise !
  11. A little late to reply but if you happen to have their app you can scan it and add to the registry that way, along when designating where it goes or even adding a category.
  12. I really really REALLY like the SLQ, the toning on it makes it a exceptional coin.
  13. Imagine if in High Relief LOL ...but then the double chin would be more prominent. (no offense your highness ) What is year of that piece ?
  14. It always amazes me on the quality of workmanship portrayed in these centuries old coins...AWESOME !
  15. These types of coins were common daily use types ? I'd be afraid to break them. What size are these considered...mm?
  16. Well, they do have a new building to pay for.....but in the same breath I'm not no where near the level of numismatics as many here and the fee change seems drastic when it comes to those. I recently renewed my membership so I have another year to ponder all of this or until I use up my "credit" with them. Life, ain't it funny.
  17. Carr/Moonlight mint made some interesting commemoratives. Got good in the over-stamping on older coins
  18. If you could post a image of Obv & Rev cropped, the folks here will be able to give you better advice. Just make sure it's in focus the best you can and no over the top glare.. FYI...a person level of experience doesn't really change the tier you'd send it in. Economy/$22 is a option...it is slower but same results.
  19. well duh me, Forgot about the PF slide filter on explorer/guide. It does not show any FBLs on the 50c.
  20. Am I reading this correctly ? It shows no MSPL but they exist in Coin Explorer and granted only 14 total for NGC. Trying to decide if sending one is or worth it or not. Are FBLs and 5FS recognized on on Proof sets or just business strike ? (as noted by @jtryka in another post by me here) Thanks
  21. So, while moving things around on my lil' birth display I had forgotten about a 59' Mint set I had and after looking at them and taking a few images I may break this out for a better look. The 5c has very nice toning and a possible 5fs(need to remove from packaging) and the 50c Franklin certainly looks better than what I shown in the previous post w/FB maybe. Hate to open these up but the chances look good to me for at least one very nice addition....bummer-side is that 59s are not the easiest to find raw nowadays and slabbed tend to go higher than I want too. (The lines seen on the close up of 5C is from the packaging...should be in pretty nice condition) So, there seems to be some questions regarding proof vs business strike & FBL/5FS...post on newbie forum instead.
  22. Nothing special, added to my Birth Year set. Have many proofs but they don't count in set. This is a filler until I find better.
