Sending cash through the U.S. mail

I can’t say that I’ve willfully and trustingly sent money to a person in faith that they will send me the product. I have sent coins to NGC and optioned out of the insurance. A sizable $ package for my comfort but I hate insurance…. 😒. The things I could buy if I had all my insurance money back!! -

I’ll offer a fact. If you go to NGC registry and points you can see where you stand among all NGC collectors. If you go to the bottom of this list you will see that there are 33,327 users with at least one coin in the registry. Of the 333 million, I have no Idea but would take a shot at 1/20 have an about 5 decent coins, just based on my experience with casual talk among friends and family. None have any tpg coins. I must edit and add that 1-2 registry points is probably not a stellar keepsake! :-)

I tried the kind polite way with newbies. I’m starting to see why people resort to tough love like VKurtB. I got tough love by VKurtB. Made me want ask more questions and learn more. I don’t know which approach is better but I’m started to lean towards VKurtB’s methods! ☠️ rip the bandaid off fast then help them assess the wound! I’ll leave the newbie training to you guys!! 😂 -

Hello Robert, glad to see you have a good attitude! For me, I like the fact that a penny back then was mainly copper and not like the copper/zinc Pennie’s of today. You will find that the value of copper content is somewhere around .02 - .03 cents for this penny. So is it a penny? Depends on how you look at it. -

Hello, I’m glad you’re excited about coins! Great to get into this hobby. I’ve been lurking around this forum for about a year. Great info and good guys, really know their stuff. Let me tell you something that helped me. I was searching lots of change coins and at first I thought I was finding some interesting things. I would recommend putting these finds into a jar, not marking what you find. Hang around on this forum for a month seeing the coins posted in newbie. Look at the expert advise. Try to figure out why they are giving this advise. Then after a month revisit your jar of anomaly coins and ask yourself why you put it in there and do you still think it’s special. If you like it! Keep it in the jar! If you learned something new and no longer find it interesting, set it free. Read the links posted to learn. missing letters are grease that clogs the die and it doesn’t strike or weak strike a portion. -
I work with hydraulic equipment. Not knowing for certain but I would think if all dies were equal at both mints then the pressure and strike speed may play a role. I’m sure there is finesse to getting a good strike regardless of the die used.
