I am a beginner gold collector, and just picked up my first gold coin. I can’t say where I purchased it and quite honestly my German is pathetic so I only got part of it. How would you suggest I store it? I can’t find a flip or air-tite case to fit. Do you think NGC would slab this one? What do you think the grade is? Do you think NGC would rat me out, or are they cool with coins like this??

Ever heard the phrase a fool and his money are soon parted? This is a truly pathetic list of coins and garbage for sale. It actually makes me sad that this is allowed. 
 
Unfortunately there is a craze, bordering on a sickness, to find these “rare errors” on pocket change and get rich. Machine doubling and die deterioration are probably as common, if not more common, on a coin than one without these days. Please don’t take evidence that someone actually bought some of this proves that it is unique or valuable. 
 
But hey if machine doubling is your thing I’ll be your coin supplier. Just let me know what denomination, years and how many hundreds you want. I got you. I’ll only charge 50x face value for each. 

As a disclaimer to any newbies that do use this thread, and I hope there are many, the above was a joke. Read the reference here for the theft of this $5.8 million dollar hunk of gold. It just hit me a newbie thread isn’t the best place for a joke 😂

Best thing you can do for many if us on this site, is to continue to learn and grow in the hobby. Best of luck

I just wanted to say thank you. to all the people here helping us nebee collector. The knowable you shear with us, save me hour and hours of wasted time look at and trying to find out things. I would all so like to give a special thanks to a member that just gave me a coin to Compleat one of my collections.  I intend to repay his gift forward by working with the boy scouts on their coin collecting merit badge.

Seated coins are some of the hardest in my opinion. I often struggle with them so I thought it would be fun. One day I will get proficient with these, but for now I struggle with AU/MS. 
 
As usual Mark shows why he was paid to grade coins. It’s an MS63. I believe it’s strong for a 63 (my personal opinion) and it’s in a somewhat older slab. I bought the coin because it had pleasant original skin. I see so many of these dipped to death and I don’t pass up a reasonable price on an original coin. 

Still waiting on the grade but got the photos from NGC just now. They look great!

Thank you all for the feedback. 
I feel a lot better about the coin now. Have a great day!

These are sealed with a sonic sealer, not glue. Sometimes if it is left a little too long this happens. The area may be sharp or rough to the touch as well. It’s normal you see these fairly often. Some worse than others.

I occasionally see them listed as “errors” for sale. Usually with a nice long story about how it’s a super rare typo. Always makes me laugh. Sadly someone may be buying these “rarities”

It was true then, and it’s true now. Especially with coins. It’s funny how sometimes all you need is a fleeting glance to know it’s not legit. 

I agree. It doesn’t look right. And sometimes it’s hard to pin point why. But you know it when you see it. 

Thank you everybody on letting me know this is not real, I weighed it and it was 4.67 grams, I would not have known that this is not real if I had not posted it here, I am new to collecting coins as a hobby, Thanx again everybody.

If they can get stuff for 30% under retail right now they have my utmost respect. Every dealer I talk to, from tiny guys like me to the big guys say they can’t buy anything right these days. The market is in such a frenzy dealer pretty much have to pay full retail and hope it’s up in a month. I try and be fair and offer 80% since I don’t have big overhead, and I can’t buy right now. If I can get it for 10% under it’s a good day. Bigger guys have more purchasing power so I’m not comparing myself to them. If it hits a wall, which I’m afraid it may do soon with this inflation, then a lot of dealers will have a bad year. Their inventory costs are huge right now. 

In 1909, William Jesse Grant went to work at the J.P. Kennedy drugstore, in Biloxi, MS. The following year he purchased the business, renaming it Grant's Drugs. He continued to run the store until his death in 1936, at which time his son, William Jr. took over. He incorporated the store in 1940, but closed it 4 years later.

I have only bought from them but have nothing but good things to say. 
 
Shoot me a PM with what you want to sell and prices. I may be interested 😁
