  1. No worries.......I often think of the rock walls in Connecticut......gathered by the settlers and forgotten by most, whether there maybe a stash in one of them....and there are miles of them rock walls in this state.
  2. Wooly swamp comes to mind with rusty mason jars.
  3. And rarities or I should say special conditions. Which in the real scope doesn’t or at the very least wouldn’t matter at all. But it does.
  4. this is up for auction, s'posed to be a dd obverse on a 1958, damned if I can find it... but check 'em out going cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174543352260
  5. I put a bunch of unc pennies on flea bay. I doubt I’ll get a sale. Wheaties are weird some times.
  6. better looking 1909's than I have.....but mine have ''the initials'' sadly without the ''S''
  7. My fridge is living proof......I have an American,errr Chinese iron eagle magnatized to it...........
  8. One of the most popular morgan dollars (1921), is a well known counterfeited coin...why? I haven't a clue.......but there out there, so I'm keeping a watchful eye on all my silver.
  9. So far I have been using digital scale and earth magnet(s)
  10. speaking of robbed.......How does everyone test their silver coins??
  11. Figures being that I’m half Irish and half French Canadian. Lol.
  12. Well at the very least I corrected a sin and made good on the exchange. That’s worth more to me than a proof nickel regardless of price.
  13. My 2 cents. Bunnies for pennies dogs nickels cats dimes horse quarter and cow for the half. Leave the ase alone dagnabbit
  14. “Red book” quote. Unless I read it wrong
  15. So I walk in to the store present the clerk with the nickle, but this time in a 2x2, I explain too him it's in fact a 1962 proof coin worth about 8 bucks.....He disputes this and insists it can't be worth that much money....so I ask him how much to actually buy the coin form you? He says but it's your coin.....I confessed I thought it was counterfeit but it actually isn't!! Again he persists it isn't worth that much......so I asked him what do you want for the coin? He says 25 cents, I flipped him the quarter and thanked him......and out the door I went.......I have a clean conscious.......should I donate the coin to charity now?
  16. You know what, that’s a great idea. I’m going to do just that. I’m bringing it back!! But in a 2x2. So he at least knows it should be protected. Thanks.
  17. ok , not boasting, just misleading........that being said.....Is it my fault the clerk was not aware of what he had,had, and further my fault that he thought it was funny money? I'm not making excuses for ignorance Nor will I let a coin fall victim to imbeciles.......
  18. This was handed to me from a grocery clerk, he asked me what I thought, I told 'em it was counterfeit and to move on...and threw him a nickel so he wouldn't have a short draw.....Me knowing better I gave it an acetone bath and am thinking of grading........but if it grades pf 65...we're only talking 3 bucks.......damn shame for such a good looking coin.
