Hmmm, flirting with the bank girls. I assume you're married as I think you have mentioned grandkids [as well as coins for your wife], so what does the better half think about that.

Seem like lately girls like to be referred to as women, and women like to be referred to as girls. Maybe a female perspective would be helpful here, but no matter what know that you can't win.

Nice, you have somehow enticed bank personnel to search for unusual coins on your behalf. Perhaps boxes of chocolates?

Nah, I routinely resize pics to take up less space in posts and on my computer, unless a higher resolution is really needed.

Okay, so you are experiencing something different as rectangular pics like of a coin slab always post in the correct orientation for me if that is the way it appears on my screen. Like when I take the slab you posted sideways, rotate it 90 degrees on my phone or computer, save it, and then post it that pic shows up in the correct vertical/portrait orientation like attached. You might try rotating the pic to the correct vertical orientation and then saving that with a different filename and see if that helps. The issue I encounter sometimes, and what I was referencing above, is when mostly square pics are rotated 90 or 180 degrees when they are posted, even when saved with a different filename in the proper orientation.

I don't think the op is referring to how it appears on his phone or the camera app setting. The rotation would happen to some pics I had which I didn't take or view on my phone, which I think has something to do with how the forum handles attachment pics. I wasn't able to find any related forum settings. Also, I think the portrait/landscape description by the op is simply their way of describing that the forum occasionally rotates a pic 90 or 180 degrees when it is posted. I have seen numerous posts where it looks like this rotation has occurred when someone uploaded and posted a pic.

I would leave it in the brown box if it was just that one Ike, but yea I can see that being a space suck with multiples.

Nothing special with the cents. Apparently the penny bag was a smaller gift shop version of the larger US mint stitched/drawstring bags used for transporting larger amounts of coins.

That would happen to me too with pics that were somewhat square, so now I post the obv and rev spliced together with Paint like the attached which won't rotate. I know it's not really an answer, just my work around.

Agreed That it's not an error.

No, a "brown box" proof silver Ike actually came in a mint sealed package within a wood grained brown box like in the pic I posted above. See this from Coin Week ... https://coinweek.com/what-is-a-1971-74-eisenhower-dollar-brown-pack-worth/

No. 2 thru 4 look pretty similar to me with a crack thru the middle of the plinth at the bldg edge, and extending to the rim where it lines up with the base of the plinth.

You wanted to prove a point by intentionally misleading ppl and posting pics of a different coin, or coins represented as one coin, and then laugh about it when ppl base opinions on that intentionally false information, and then backtrack while trying to laugh it off when the focus shifted to your limited knowledge. I think the only thing you proved was nobody can believe anything you post now, and are likely not going to be willing to give up their time to help you in the future. I sure won't, because even though I didn't take the bait I don't like ppl who marvel at their ability to deceive other ppl.

Yes, I think so even with the poor design and quality. It's a proof strike and not a circulation strike, but still much more collectable than bullion. And you could consider 2021 an anniversary strike, but not 2023. Now you are really dating yourself.

Not really a fan of the bicentennial Ikes, with a more barren reverse that has an unimaginative design copying a bell from the Franklins and an enlarged moon from other Ikes. If I was going to get just one Ike it might be an earlier date "brown box" proof silver Ike, like the attached certified by NGC. https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/131/

For ASEs I would agree, but not for the proof Morgans. Although not that far off with the abysmal quality coming out of the mint the last few years.

Being sold as a mint gift shop item would explain a lot. [i.e. that makes a lot of "cents" ]

I came across one of these "penny bags" at a thrift store for a few bucks, which apparently are comprised of fifteen (15) 1972 P-D-S cents, and was curious if anyone knew more about them, like why the mint would sell something like that. Also, what was the attraction vs a typical mint set, as I'm not really seeing that. Maybe that's because I don't really collect cents, but perhaps some others who do might shed some light on that. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/1972-and-1973-penny-bags-offered-by-us-mint-still-collectible.html

I also like larger coins, such as the dollar, and I am working on several dollar and half dollar collections sets. I think you have received some good advice on picking an Ike dollar, keeping in mind the old saying of "know the coin before you buy the coin". I am just curious as to why you want just one of them, like maybe some kind of type set. Interestingly enough, formal circulation strike dollar type sets have four or five Ike dollars of the 19 or 20 coins in the sets. https://www.ngccoin.com/registry/competitive/united-states/type-sets/233/definition/ https://www.collectors.com/setmatch/setmatchdetail?itemtypeid=1&compid=3694

Completely agree, and I wish more would focus on that. I also wonder if AI could somehow be used to help fight that.

I think the only borderline fantasy token Carr ever struck was the 1964-D Morgan since they did find master hubs at the US mint for that coin. But I have never heard of someone being conned into thinking it's a legit major missing coin, which is really the only potential pitfall. I think people constantly bringing it up completely out of the blue is pretty childish and does more harm than good for the hobby. They are never going to take any action against him, despite the high visibility, so it's really a shame some don't seem to be able to just get over it.

Sticking a knife into the back of the US mint and other major coin production players by then "counterfeiting" coins, and designing state quarters for the US mint many years after the letter, while you burn every bridge behind you in a scorched earth policy of a criminal currency mastermind. I'm not buying it.

The circulated CAN 1936 cent posted does not appear to be the "dot" variety as noted, so it's worth Around $1 or so. https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/canada-cent-km-28-1920-1936-cuid-1034499-duid-1257791 From the appearance of the flip this looks like another one from the ebay scam artist called "redhotcollectibles", so it's probably listed for around 5 to 10 times the noted value, or some ridiculous amount if they are falsely claiming it's a CAN 1936 dot variety cent.

The coin should be worth at least around $300 in order for it to be worth submitting. The coin you posted is not one of these. See the links Sandon posted to help in evaluating how much coins are worth.

@Yancey1997 This looks like the work of an ebay scam artist called "redhotcollectibles" who takes average cents and gives them various names and descriptions to sell them for outrageous prices like $5 to $20 a pop. The cent is not "double struck", and appears to just have some very common minor machine doubling like at the date. Also the "4055" seems to be the scam artists item number. There also appears to be a blob at the mint mark which is what they may be calling "plugged dies", which is likely just the result of worn dies with some die chips at the mark, or where it was filled in from re-plating as previously noted. If the dies were "plugged" then there would actually be a loss of some features. Also, the coin does not have the appearance of an uncirculated 1943-S steel cent. See the following links which have the terms I used above as well as a link to CoinFacts to see how an uncirculated 1943-S cent should look in various grades. https://boards.ngccoin.com/topic/430263-basic-resources-glossary-for-those-posting-questions/ https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1943-s-1c/2717
