  1. That was a cool buy also. I love stuff like that. I enjoy about all coins. Especially ones with a piece of history behind them. I remember that launch. I was just a young feller then.
  2. That's very cool. My opinion is well worth what you paid to own a piece of that history.
  3. I enjoy reading the replies of everyone who posted. Thank you. We all got very common interest in this hobby. Hopefully all this love for history will be picked up by the younger generations. Hopefully we can get more people to reply and share their passion of the hobby. It's wonderful there are so many areas to collect in. It's truly amazing how many different types of coins, tokens, medals, and bullion is out there. Way more than I ever realized.
  4. We got hit with an ice storm. Electricity and wifi knocked out. All the towers were down. I cut my way to town to try and get one and the towers were down in town too. I was very upset I missed out on that one. I'll be ready for this next one.
  5. I'll have to think about this one for a few. I just read one of his books and it talked about a few of them.
  6. Good luck my friend. I'm hoping the best. I'd say it's OK though. Certain places are backed way up. But it would make me very nervous to if I had that much money tied up. I'll cross my fingers to for you. I sure hope you hear something soon.
  7. You can call your post office and ask for the head postmaster and maybe shake it loose. I done that at Christmas time on a package.
  8. Some of them arrived in just a few days and others it took weeks. Just certain post offices they get stuck in. They say it's where the covid is so bad.
  9. I bought some coins at a few different places off Ebay and it seems like it took them forever to make it through certain usps facilities. I had one stuck in New Hampshire for 2 weeks. I got a message that said it would arrive late and it was still on the way. I just got it a couple days ago. Took 2 weeks and 3 days.
  10. No problem. It worries me to death until I get that message that it's at a post office in Sarasota FL update. Then I know it's safe at NGC. They got their own post office.
  11. Did yours say arrived at an address in Sarasota FL. Or a post office in Sarasota FL. If it did then it is more than likely sitting safely at they're facility.
  12. Yea. It made I think one or two stops and it told me where it was at. Then it said waiting on delivery or something like that until they opened it.
  13. Yea. It took a few days to say delivered. Which means they probably opened it on the 13th. It will take them a few days to put it in the system where they are behind
  14. I sent this package around the first of April. It only took 2 days to get there. It took till the 13th to say delivered.
  15. NGC has their own post office box. It will show it has not been delivered until it is opened. And they were about 15 days behind. So if it says the address and shows it hasn't been delivered on the tracking then it is probably safely at their mail box.
  16. I'm not sure if they are or not. I asked earlier this year and no one was sure yet.
  17. I can't wait to get a chance to go to the Smithsonian. That would be so amazing. I would love to own a museum. You couldn't beat me out of it. Unless the flatheads were biting good of course. Other than that I would just walk around and enjoy the history all day. Would be very enjoyable seeing the smiles on all the children's faces as they enjoyed learning about all the amazing events and relics of the past.
  18. Anyone want to chose one? And see if we can guess it?
  19. I figured that was one of those tricky questions.
  20. That is awsome news my friend. Very excited for you. Glad it came back authentic and got a straight grade.
  21. Here's another counterfeit. This is one my ex brother in law gave me a few years ago. It also appears to have been cleaned. Lol. Good thing it wasn't a real one.
  22. You would think Etsy would put a stop to all the ridiculous sellers on it. It has ruined their reputation. Not good for business letting outlaws sell their stuff on your site. I don't see how they are still in business.
