That is the way to collect. There is an old adage in coin collecting that states, "Buy the book before the coin." If you have the knowledge beforehand, you are way ahead of the game.

I've been lucky........collected a few coins before I got a good book.....

I don't have a vdb graded.......wondering about the  the ''vdb s' '' bid.........what prey tell was that??

^^^^ Nice!!!

 Me?, I went thru 40 pennies ;most wheaties,..... that deserved grading but I doubt even one will be sent out; 20 some odd unc in great shape the the others all proof pennies......all in 2x2's waiting for a coin show.

I’ve evaded it by living like a complete hermit for close to a year. No social interactions contrary to CDC guidelines whatsoever.

could be the virus is avoiding You.......lol

Well I tested negative. Won’t be long till you hear or read. Vaccines before entry. 

guess there are a lot of ''not me'' going around Alabama........the southern folk don't trust gov't run stuff to begin with.

The stars on  the obverse are dead giveaways....no mint would ever let that mess ever pass for currency.

throw it in a furnace.

the ''red book'' will give you certain criteria often not replicated easily by counterfeiters...size, weight that sort of thing. .

another ebayer..... I offered spot pricing and called him out on the coin(s).....The reverse on one coin was obvious......he will get a newbie ....shame here he is.  eltau37

Maybe not the right forum ...but you can be re-infected and unless you've gotten the anti-bodies from already catching the virus earlier in the year..

Which has happened to me.........Unfortunately you didn't get the whole story.........my apologies.

I’ll pass on a vaccine I clearly do not need. Wife had covid in April I quarantine for 2 weeks with her. Didn’t get a sniffle. Translation. I already had it. And fought it off. 

I'll keep my eyes open for a major one coming up...I'm assuming anything big will be curtailed till covid is a distant memory

It also happens sometimes at major coin shows when the Mint brings their machine for dispensing them.

Never been to a major show....I bet there's a line and a limit....at a mint machine...for lack of a better term.

on a serious note....some of the slabbed pennies look interesting....good luck flipping them thou.

I agree. I never had any intention of buying it. I was just  looking at a few and comparing them to the ones on NGC counterfeit common section. And that one caught my attention. I didn't like the looks of it. Its way out of my price range also. I wanted to get other opinions on it for a learning session. Im trying to learn how to spot counterfeits. 

I've seen your posts on finances....you're right, you have no intention...

This is one to stay away from, it appears to be cleaned and very possibly whizzed.

 

Edited to add:  the obverse does have the correct diagnostic die crack and I think the coin is a legit 14-D but the mm looks odd possibly due to the whizzing/cleaning.

Now they're whizzing on coins?! What has this world come too?1

Starting in 2009, the date and mintmark were moved to the edge. Most people don't have any idea what these dollars look like; I'm almost certain I've never seen 3/4 of them before today. You can see them all here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacagawea_dollar#Native_American_redesign_(2009-present)

Along with “e Pluribus  unim” and a few stars. Thanks 🙏 just a 2009 D. Nothing special here. I did get a few presidential dollars on ms condition. Going back for more tonight. Feed it a paper dollar press the coin return. And voila! One Susan B. Indian chick. Or a dead prez 

picked this from a vending machine.....nothing in the red book about it. Any information on this coin?
