  1. What you are seeing is not only the rabbit hole syndrome but the “gunna own somebody,anybody especially if it’s for no particular reason other than meanness. Truly sad. I’m so sorry that this is happening.
  2. Ok stop it. Geez. Give, present ,award ,stop nit picking. Dang. 2 states entered into the union in 1959. 2 coins tokens whatever were minted Also what your seeing my friend VKurtB is not only the rabbit hole syndrome but the “gunna own somebody,anybody especially if it’s for no particular reason other than meanness. Truly ashame.
  3. The post is about small sets. Sorry that we didn’t give statehood to 3 states but we didn’t 2 that’s all. 2 coin set Only single coins pictured are a proof 1/20 libertad (start of next set. And a2oz libertad in reference to a question. I know I’m just a newbie but I know that 1 is not a set. But in my case 2 does make a set.
  4. One of the first things I heard was “buy what you like”. As I move down this road that statement has taken on a larger meaning.
  5. Cool dry not in kitchen bathroom or laundry room humidity is very bad
  6. That certainly sounds correct if I was a dealer or flipper. I am a grandpa who is proudly building a family heirloom collection of coins, stamps,gems,antiques and even a 1969 VW camper van Every thing cycles in its own time. Right now stamps are CHEAP My salvation is that over 10 years ago I stopped cigarettes and booze. Remember in my little world every thing I buy is free because I use money that was never going to provide me a “profit “ just guaranteed health problems. Imagine how good it feels to know that after spending money there is now something. Maybe not the best or proper collecting maybe some dumb purchases but not up in smoke or burning a hole in my guts. This being the newbie section I don’t know how much business advice adds to things. Maybe some guilt for being new. Just saying that profit comes in all forms
  7. Where did it say what she paid. If it’s a couple years old she paid about $35-$40. I have inspected a few Intaglio products and the US Mint could take some lessons.
  8. I’m sure it is a little high but knock off$20. $78. Not bad
  9. Yep and at $38 I’ll take em all day long. Bought 4 of them. 8oz of silver for less than $160. Seems like a good deal for one year back
  10. Welcome how about that I am too new to be a lot of help. Spot silver is over $26 so you’ve got a good start there $60-$70 melt. They look in pretty dang good shape. Congratulations you have found a little treasure.
  11. Saw this and thought of you 🤓 it seems pieces of MM can float around 😳. Sorry I doubted you. Pictures of half and cent enclosed article is from June22 2021 Numismatic News pg.27
  12. Intaglio mint. Thank you. Mine also is a Intaglio baby. When the chance of owning a gold original are zero this is a lovely issue and your estimate of $100 seems right. There appears to be a dollar value on ase’s how does that effect the only bullion argument. Just asking cause I’m a newbie
  13. When I first saw the gold originally, I fell completely in love with it. One day on eBay I saw this one and $38 later tax, title and license I was an owner. This was couple years back silver was cheap. Latest check shows prices are double. I did some research on the mint of issue and they checked out fine. Many different kinds of collectors out there. Yours has a family story/connection so value right there. Anyway I hope you find out enough to help. If not rephrase with knew question. Thanks
  14. Here’s a 82 silver that came as a loose extra in a small lot. Somewhere I have an 1982 libertad that has some amazing toning I’ll hunt it down Happy birthday 🎉
  15. How much extra do you want above straight trade few dollars?
  16. Thank goodness the new Morgan’s will provide the 67-69 you need plus the almighty 70 will now be attainable. This ofcourse is the doorway to the original vs modern acceptance debate
  17. Ok superbirds are pricey. I had thought it would make a good gift but at least $100+ 2-3 maybe someday. I am very happy to learn of such a treasure and I’ll find one. Don’t need high grade but attributed on the label will be a must
  18. I have this one and have seen other 2oz pieces. Yours is very cool and I would never sell it at spot. The folks here will know and you will learn.
  19. Absolutely, although free slurpee sorta leaves me shorted every body gets one but I can’t seem to talk them into a rain check 😎
  20. Just can’t believe how life works as I was wondering what my next coin should be. Never heard of this quarter but homework is clear now. This mystery coin and I need to become one. Caretaker and keeper
  21. A friend just sent this with a bunch of laughing emojis about my posting of questionable photos 😂. He found it funny enough to throw it into the mix
  22. Went through whole collection and this year set is it! Have to do something about that this year!
