Today I was at a convience store. The clerk asked me what I thought about a mirror finished nickel circa 1962. I took it from him said it was counterfeit and gave him a regular nickel for it.

 It’s a proof coin. No doubt. 

1976 nickle with the D mint mark close to the date....not much, but it was acquired,lol

double dog dare......somebody saw christmas story one too many times

Wheatie is a wheatie they should all be 7 bucks a piece I’m kidding 

He’s right. I just sold 3 1922 wheaties for 20 bucks.

Hello Rocket23,

 

   Well, let's see now. 

- Is this your first time with the issue, or have you had this issue before?  have you contacted the bidder?

- How patient are you in waiting for payment?

- What is your selling venue? From looking at various (well-known) websites, there usually is a time frame to pay. eBay for example  you can file a report after 2 days and the buyer has about 4 days to respond, with a maximum of 36 days total.

   I usually give a week to pay. People may have other higher priorities ...

 

 

 

 

no just one so far,

1 week tops...

auction / paypal.

Throwing this out there if the problem is more numerous than just my one time, I guess.

So How much leeway should be allowed when selling? What I mean is a bidder wins , but never pays....How long does a seller wait til he is forced to cancel the order because of non payment?  I've done this once already , waited 6 business days......Any thoughts??

I don’t find it ironic at all. What I find ironic is the lack of the use of libraries. 

or google for that matter, in defense of the'' written word '' so to speak ,not the bible!, In these archaic times we live in some levity is just what the doctor ordered, sadly it's always not cut an dry reading between the lines.........and some replies are misunderstood.......I'll shut up now, my serious mode is about to click off.....

I’m still looking for the 2015 (p) version to be printed. Most if not all the print do not recognize the coin. 

one coin forum is enough for the likes of me.....between the Harley ,The Stinger and the Ram I used to own.......oh and then there's Golfer.com.......(relax I just made that one up)

NGC 6064802-004......newly acquired......lessee if ngc has a pic,

To keep it a hobby, you can't let other people define what you collect.  I decide what I want and how I want to go about doing it.  And if someone else thinks differently to heck with them.

Agreed. I’m always buying with the belief I can resell at a coin show. Knowing full well I’m to cheap to buy the vendor fee🤣🤣

I like all the different forums. Always something fun to read and learn.

You don't have to like the members or the mods to enjoy the learning.

All the sites are a great reference and you don't even have to be a member. 

Oh yeah! Anytime I search a car or truck or in the market for a big ticket item, I check out the forums on that specific item....boatload of knowledge.......steered clear out of a lot of headaches too.

I'll throw a picture up on a new thread.....prolly tomorrow.

A lot of them out there my friend. You're not alone! 

Mine was in a mint set.......but not from the mint........one of those  ''Americas most rarest coins'' set.....Yeah i got one,lol flea market for 5 bucks....the other coins look authentic btw.

I'll buy that......not the coin just the reply,lol..( I already spent way too much on silver )..........Now instead of buying I grab a coin roll or 2 from the bank and check 'em out....spare change goes in a bottle.

I just might be the biggest critic of CoinTalk you will EVER encounter. It is not a scam. It is a legit site. That said, it is owned by, and moderated by, some of the most active self-gluteal osculatory people you will ever find. It is a clique of personalities. Their moderation is heavy-handed, inconsistent in application, and not subject to appeal or protest. Kiss the rump of management all the time and you’ll be fine. They surely do for one another.

That being said I have one more reason not to bother........I can only take one coin forum in a lifetime anyways.......

I respectfully disagree...

Too many marks and tics and that reed hit near the ear is not very nice at all. Just a common coin in a common grade to my eye

no, I disagree even the worst grade '64 half dollar is worth a few bucks to the right buyer.......

I have a obviously zinc plated ''steely''...Man  it looks beautiful, but it's just as worthless as the Chinese ase magnetized on my fridge....nice to look at, but just that.

that damned mirror finish........cool dry place for storage and don't breathe ,lol

Yes, necessary evil like engineers. I'm burnt out. I may or may not keep my silver collection. Not a hobby anymore for me. Too much of "is this a double die or is this an error" , counterfeiting, using a microscope, CAC decal, etc. I'm trying my hardest to be polite here and not swear like a sailor and tear some of these old "numistmatics" a new one. They cant handle the truth. Nobody is on the wall protecting the hobby.

I started collecting coins about the same time you joined the forum.........that being said I'll never feel the way you say you feel about a silver collection.......sure I'll sell 80% of my stuff , in time....but to me it's the nostalgia, the history, the thinking of what the world was like when that coin left the mint.......Thats why I do it.....I'll never tire from it . Not for a long time I gather , while I gather more coins , sell some ....but always, always holding on.......Mod, you should ''hold on'' I while longer......jmho.

Yes, it might fix it, but toward what end? The service is more expensive than the coins would be worth. 

Just the bicentennial or all mint sets in general?? I have a '61 and a '62 proof set(s)....new 2.10 bucks now 22.00 according to ''the red book''

I must love copper......I have a ton of wheaties all of a sudden......

And to you and yours!!!
