Look at local coins for sale listings - good for a laugh 1 1

[Woods020]

I periodically get on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace to see what ultra rarities are for sale near me. Today I saw two ultra rare NO-S dimes for big money which had a striking resemblance (pun intended) to circulated Philly business strikes. Then I ran across some interesting info on Peace dollars I had not read before. @RWB perhaps this should be a chapter in the next version of your Peace Dollars guide book.

So how does it look in hand @Woods020?

I haven’t picked it up yet. On my way to get the No-S proof business strikes first then heading that way. I’m telling you people make up some stories when coins are involved. I’m never disappointed when I look at these listings.

There was a posting a few weeks ago for an estate auction mentioning a rare error Peace Dollar with a V instead of U. This seems to really mess with people if they don’t know better.

The Etsy listing that became the bane of my existence on the boards when I was here last:

Well, right there is your mistake. That site is filled with crazies, scammers, and the most clueless people you'll ever meet.

That’s the fun of it. You see some insanity 😂

I’m just glad I finally learned how to spell the letter U.

That's good news.  I still have the 100 Ikes I picked up at a local bank I assume are bi-centennials for no particular reason I can think of and I am told they have more strapped $2 bills than they know what to do with. I have not the slightest idea what to do with them but if I see them, they're all going for face + postage.
