    If I can get the attention of theses rowdies, and reorganize this one time independent event, I will try to dive into their personal existence and see if there is a semblance of structure based on the art form they represent to avoid criminal action…Cheers! Salute! Skole! (Volumes)

    My love of Liberty gets me coming and going. Minters/artist creed!

    Perfect, and so is the timing. I am still absorbing the watchful comments from all that directed me to not worry about comparing the 1964 Kennedy aacgs slab value (can of worms) I was involved in to just buying new slabs that someone else had paid the cost to slab for me. Thanks my friend, and also to those that express the same sentiment. Good Job! Thanks. Oh and I’m looking for new war nickels as we speak.

    Some of us might appreciate the sharing of these deals more than others might. 🤔 lesson taught well!

    Another rescue from the wife’s Folgers can of grocery change.

    It is the thin leaves of copper surviving the decades that made me set it aside years ago when I found it in my wife’s Folgers can of change. Thanks.

    What would be the under the thin copper layer that it is peeling from?

    I was out plowing the snow away from the road side mail boxes awhile back and in came the mail wagon chained up on all four. I went to high school with the delivery lady and she commenced to tell me thanks for keeping the snow down all the time so her short little arms could reach the boxes from the window. Then she pulled out her green half gallon Stanley and gave me a few shots of hot coffee to warm up with while she put the mail in the boxes. Now that’s service.

    I had to drag my sets out to look at yesterday thanks to JP. No clean one owners but close…

    Thank you to all of you for contributing. I feel that in reading all of your inputs, should someone read this thread, they will have a little better understanding of what is being marketed on the streets and thanks to all of you a better picture of the real value you all put into helping others, each in your own way.

    Guess I’ll have too pass on the next Crown XR should I decide to waste my hard earned cash to satisfy my curiosity. guess I shouldn’t assume that everyone knows XR is Canadian Whiskey…

    It is not about the coin, or it’s intrinsic value, it’s about the marketing and system by many that use terms or fictitious grading (description) to enhance the value of their sale. Similar to how you feel about the “SP” designation. I am just not fearful to do my own DD with the added expertise of many here in this group of fine people so willing to share without belittling or insulting.

    I agree also, but sometimes the cost of learning at hand is a valuable tool in its own right. I am in an education process and appreciate all of your inputs, but still need to satisfy the visual comparison factor in my mind. It will be traveling in very good company. Again, this is why the topic is titled “Can of worms” . Thanks again, I always appreciate all comments 👍
  18. R__Rash
    Sooooo….The value going forward to share documented fact with as many as possible is a plus not a minus, yes? It definitely isn’t being done do designate the coin as a “ specimen”.

    Did a little research project this morning. If I hadn’t taken the time to take pictures it would have been all of 5 minutes to dissect and place. A couple of dabs of model car glue sides and ends. I have a few coins I’ve been thinking about sending in, I figure I will send this one along from curiosity. Might come back at least a 40?
  21. R__Rash
    Wasn’t there just a three day discussion on the term specimen? 🤔 I agree the coin is very nice…..
  22. R__Rash
    'Very nice, I was pretty proud of my old boys till I saw this set, thanks for setting my goal for next year for me! Happy new year.
  23. R__Rash
    Did you check out “verify ngc certification” in the resources. I could be mistaken but there should be a picture in there of the coin that was certified with that number.

    I bought several of these from a friend a few years back for 5 bucks each. Couldn’t go wrong, right? Happy New Year!
