Nice JP! I have a 2nd round of CRH (not to be confused with CRS) and after spending $47 twice I’m hoping I’ll do better on the second batch that I got today. 1st batch…natta

RWB No because the Ebay lister didn't know the difference between Benjamin Franklin and Franklin D. Roosevelt !!!

What’s another name for a numismatist? a change agent thats it I’d better stop now

People who work at the US Mint sure are lucky. They make a lot of money.

Remember you asked for it… What do you call a pile of coins in the rain? Climate change

How’s that kid doing that swallowed all those coins? No change yet…

There is a coin shortage in America They are officially out of Common Cents

Franklin Roosevelt?

Outstanding GBrad! 😂

Good pick up James. I got real lucky last year bought the complete 1959-2004 set for $45

Very nice MS 67 or 68?

Cool, I have a great 1983 Canadian proof set I’ll sell ya Ha

Do you have any sale links Rick? Like from eBay or coin marketplace? I am looking for 55,56, 90-2012 Bill

It’s in great shape but it seems heavy. in fact, 1.7 oz! haha 77.2 mm by 4 mm

JP that’s amazing, I’ve never found a V75 in the wild. Had to buy a graded one just to have one! And these oddball coins you find in CRH amazes me. There must be a lot of foreign money there in that “black hole “ of coins.

Cool, I’ve never seen anything but us coins and a few Canadians here. I want to see that one in the upper left L50 😆

Thanks Woods! I am looking for a more reasonable price graded version in this case. Bill

On Ebay

I now have all proof mint sets from 1957-1980, although for 1969,70, 79 P,D sets, and 1966 and 67 Special Mint Sets.

1854 seated liberty quarter with arrows is generally selling in good condition around $24

Thank God! I thought they errored on a Baconater!

OMG I suppose he looks something like this now.

It has been electroplated as a science experiment. I hate this but…. Procedure: Put 25 g granular zinc metal and 100 mL 3 M NaOH into a 250 mL beaker. Heat the beaker on a hot plate until it begins to boil. Add cleaned pennies to the bath. ... After about 1 minute, the pennies will be silver colored (zinc plated). ... Remove the pennies and rinse with DI water. OR dipped in Acid removing the copper plating revealing the zinc base, (probable)

I will qualify my answer saying that the way I view coins is to flip it up, and in this way it is sort of upside down but appears correctly. As James said most coinage is this way. If you simply rotate it sideways, it will appear upside down. It was originally done this way to identify the difference between coins of value (head-to-toe orientation) and that of military medals (which have a head-to-head orientation). After awhile, it was kept that way as a tradition. This is called a “coin turn,” and it is simply traditional for US coinage.
