  1. I must have been in a time warp. I thought nickels had the shield reverse. I’m ready to be beaten. How did I miss this🙀😂
  2. Cool coin JP. Interesting I am studying a little bit about doubling and machine or something else as cause. I for one am not passing this class. More study time 😁
  3. Brad your not alone it’s been crazy around here and I , like you, am a little flustered too. We’re all good now let’s learn more 🤓
  4. Understood. Hang in here there’s more who can weigh in on this. Remember they are what they are right now so don’t do anything that might be a problem. 5 years from now is a long time. Hang on you will get some advice and hopefully find the proper course of action. You’ve got a good start 🤓
  5. The dang cat is 18 with one paw in the grave and the other on a banana peel. He’s freezer bound fairly soon but he is like a Timex watch 🙀😂😂😂
  6. Bob is probably correct which is fine at$15-$20 each I think I’m ok cost wise. I put them in those capsules and I don’t think they have changed. I’ll get my close up picture set up and snap a few including some things that make me suspicious 🤓
  7. I find them strangely attractive just as they are. 💯 + year’s of absorbing your family’s memories and I hope they are real and you are patient. A little more advice here is free. Good luck 🤓
  8. With peace dollars and Morgan’s eye appeal to me is way more important than grade. #1. Clean cheeks #2. Clean fields. Then strike. It’s the main reason I avoid collecting either. 🤓
  9. Seems to just re-enforce buy what you like. For me I am a touchy freely kinda guy and a quality reproduction is right up my alley at the same time I have the greatest respect for each of our unique interactions with coins. I am a stickler for quality 🤓
  10. Holds big meaning for me and the market is the last thing I care about. At $35 I’m really happy. I’m just a simple man but I know my limitations looking at pictures is nice and all that, I can get a tremendous amount of enjoyment. Hold a 2oz. Octagon panPac observe the quality. I spent some of my life wanting and not being able to compromise. So I had pictures and dreams but no way to resolve it. Agreed that the nicest thing about our hobby is the vast array of different types of collectors 🤓 last year I paid $38 apiece for the 2oz.panPac. Can’t touch em for under $75-80 now.
  11. If you can look over their inventory amazing. I also have 4 intaglio silver octagon panPac 2oz.ers still looking over moonlight inventory but I’ll find one. Happy hunting 🤓 Looking at d.Carr’s 2013 nickel
  12. Moonlight (d.Carr) ,Intaglio ,Grove mint(with and without d.Carr). Might be fun just to contact them just to see what they say. I have found they are all very friendly and accommodating 🤓
  13. I’m feeling pretty dang old that no one has mentioned my “ West side story “reference. Yah there good friends cause “🎵cause when you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way “😁
  14. Moving away from ase’s and such I recently started buying quality reproductions like d.Carr’s 55 double die coins I could never afford. Second I bought the grove mint flying eagle cent. Today took time off from buying books and pulled the trigger on this chain cent ! please feel free to post something new your doing that is making you happy (coin wise)😁
  15. I believe I stand corrected as well. Metallurgy is fascinating. I sure do like that coin JP Keep us posted please 🤓
  16. Doesn’t she work with “Barry M’s”Lola was she a show girl in wait a minute in Havana?😂
  17. Yes sir. I ran across a collector on eBay seems to not be around anymore. He collected them and being as how I loved them I didn’t care if it was artificial toning although he was fairly certain they were naturally toned. I purchased them separately over a year same guy. I’ll post some close ups maybe we can speculate on artificial or not 🤓good morning
  18. Their very easy to deal with no problem examining the coin not the one send it back. I am older with some time to spend comparing Littleton eBay and a few others sometimes it’s eBay sometimes apmex now and again Littleton especially for tougher items. 🤓. Enjoy. Sorry I just heard about Vcoin and I thought it was a coin dip😂😂really it’s in a post somewhere !
  19. Call me silly but Littleton will sell you a genuine coin. They can be pricey but not really to bad. What they have is inventory and lots of it. I find talking with someone on the phone is best but I’m old and don’t type well. My2 cents 🤓
  20. “When your a Jet your a Jet all the way from the first coin you find til your last flipping day🎉🎵”. Let’s see thermos of coffee ☕️ 10 cell phones 15 friends with computers. Yup ready🤓
  21. This is it for ase’s got some representation for 2021. Next year freedom off to something different. Maybe merc.s or WLH ‘s
  22. That’s what I did with my V-75 I can sure as heck pick it out from the crowd. Ugly duckling and such. Seems as though unless the mintage is 500,000 or more returns are self defeating. Good luck and happy collecting remember: the us mint is continuing to work with us to enhance our shopping experience 😂
  23. Why the heck can they figure out how to detect faults in widget assembly lines with scanning can’t they adapt that kind of technology at the mint. Pharmacy products sure need inspection. On and on😈
