I have found that keeping my coin collection in paper rolls and plastic tubes has been a lot more enjoyable for me lately. I have lost interest in grading and slabbing, and 2x2s/album collecting, etc. Does anybody have any roll and tube storage ideas to share? Thanks!

I re-bid on the one PCGS. GENUINE CLEANED DETAIL. Didn't have to bid too much higher than my max bid. That is it for that coin. The other 5 ANACS gold dollars range from VF30 UP TO AU50. Four of them are ex jewelry and one is an AU50 straight grade.I did look at the values for all of them and have my. maximum dollar bids @EagleRJO I did look at gold bars at JM Bullion.They have a beautiful Brtish gold bar that I considerd. Maybe next time. Thanks guys.

Thank you @Sandon I am high bidder on 5 ANACS low graded gold dollar coins.. Hoping to get at least two. I am a collector but I would like to have gold bullion to stash away.

What about slabbed gold coins labeled with Details?

At least your transgressions did not end up permanently on your NGC profile.lol I am forever branded as a TOS violator. I wonder if they would delete it if I asked?

Thank you @VKurtB The dies must be made with super modern milling machines. Yes, the Mankiller star really jumps.

I have not found the Nina Otero-Warren version. The Anna May Wong quarters will be released October 24th. The new designs are not as busy as the state and national park quarters. In the old days of graphic design, we were told to fit as many bylines on the magazine cover as possible. The moderators were watching us closely back then. I have been clean and sober for over a year and a half now.🙈🙉🙊😊

That is term i was looking for! Zinc Rot. I am finding so many 2022 cents with zinc rot spots already.

Thank you @Quintus Arrius. What are you collecting nowadays? I have been going through about 6 months of my change and noticed that the new zincoln cents already have a lot of carbon spots. I really like the full luster of the 2022 quarters. Im left wondering if the mint changed the metal or process, perhaps with new machinery.

Hello @Quintus Arrius! How are you doing? Staying out of trouble? Have you found the Roosters you were searching for? Have you seen my stapler? 🤓

https://www.cnn.com/2015/08/05/world/hiroshima-survivors-artifacts/index.html @VKurtB is correct. The 10th picture is what happened to Japanese coins after the nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

Great read. Thanks RWB. More than just coins will have to be changed for King Charles III. Found it interesting that his portrait will face left.

Someone tweeted/predicted the exact date that Queen Elizabeth would.pass away and predicted Charles III will pass in 2025. The time stamp was dated January 2022. I should have made a screen shot...

I have noticed Queen Elizabeth's portrait has changed through the years. I have sold several QEII British Commonwealth coins in the past and now have only Canadian coins.

Just the opposite problem here. I'm on the west coast and Philadelphia minted coins are hard to find. I just started a state P&D quarter folder. We need a chat board thread for folder and album coin collectors.

Hello @Hoghead515 I'm doing good. Thanks. I have been on the move and taking a break from coins. My coins are in storage for now. Hope you are doing good too.

Duesenberg.

Yes, bizarre. Alien looking.👽 Cue X-Files Materis Primoris theme. Something to think about. Grading coins from another planet.

Is it just me? I find this damaged quarter attractive in a weird way. I kept coming back to look at it. The design and shape of the damage on the obverse and minimal damage to the reverse is kinda cool. A hobo quarter.

I also collect bicentennial coins. Graduated from HS in 1976. Just got this Ike in the mail today.

I have an 1860 Indian Head cent ANACS graded VG8 that is in slightly better condition. I would guess this FE might grade FR2 to AG3.

Nice coins. World coins, including Canadian and United Kingdom coins with the Queen Elizabeth II obverse are very popular these days among collectors.

There are tons of reasons collectors do things that have nothing to do with economics. From my notes: 10 Reasons To Grade or Not to Grade: 1.) For the novelty. The quality of being new, original, or unusual. 2.) The coin is special for a number of reasons including sentimental reasons. 3.) Possible high grade. 4.) Registry Set. 5.) Anticipation of what the grade will be is fun. 6.) Authentication. 7.) Preserve and Protect. 8.) Test grading skills against TPG. 9.) Insurance purposes. 10.) Easier resale. Liquidity. -Mod

Yes, what happened to a coins in-hand great eye appeal description? I use that in almost all of my coin sale descriptions. I found this description recently and use use it once in awhile. "Scattered marks are present, but they are inconsequential."

Here is my 2000-D SC quarter. Bargain Bin find.
