EagleRJO Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Some recent additions to my "Potty Dollar" collection with some replica coins by Dan Carr of Moonlight Mint. He does some amazing coins which are really stunning when you hold them in your hand under a light. I should send them into ANACS for grading/authentication which I understand they do for these coins. Then again, I think they will authenticate/grade just about anything.

Fenntucky Mike Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 They look fine just how they are, I'd leave them. Congrats on the newps!

There would really be no reason to have them authenticated/graded because they are staying in my collection. So, I was just kidding about having a TPG embalm them with acetone and then seal them in slab coffins. P.S. I also just added a 2022-S Proof ASE to the collection. I really like the way those coins look. [The only issue is the capsules are of a poorer quality compared to prior years and the coins now come in a really cheap looking dollar store type box and glued fell plastic insert.] Edited August 20, 2022 by EagleRJO GoldFinger1969 1
Mr.Bill347 Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 I have one of those too. The 2022 Eagle proof is a beautiful coin. In an earlier forum, we discussed grading it, but popular opinion, just leave it in OGP. So that’s what I am doing. GoldFinger1969 1
EagleRJO Posted August 15, 2022 Author Posted August 15, 2022 Yup, all the ones I have are staying in the OGP. But it's really a shame the mint started going on the cheap starting this year with the really cheesy felt glued plastic holders for the capsules, instead on the nice velvet spring boxes which I really liked.
RWB Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 So, now you're buying counterfeit coins? Sad. EagleRJO and ldhair 1 1

Hopefully you mean the Moonlight Mint coins and not the Proof ASE from the US Mint. And I hope that the Moonlight Mint coins and any Potty Dollars are the only "counterfeit" coins in my collection as I do buy a lot of raw coins and even TPG slabs are being knocked off. Buyer beware!

Mr.Bill347 Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 I will certainly chime in on the CHEESY mint packages. The 2002 Eagle proof is too beautiful to put in a cheap WalMart package. EagleRJO 1
J P M Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 I just got a NGC Mail on the Stack's Bowers site there is a auction going on for the last ASE it is up to $11.000 ?
tj96 Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Here's my counterfeit. It's probably only a matter of time before the Secret Service is at my door! 😂 🤣 Edited August 15, 2022 by tj96

You almost subjected yourself to heavily geared treasury agents wielding full-auto HK416s roping in at 2 am to confiscate your potentially forged legal tender coin.

ldhair Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 I would give my opinion but some can't deal with it and have to get nasty and insulting.

EagleRJO Posted August 20, 2022 Author Posted August 20, 2022 I also like trade dollars, (particularly ones with chop marks), so this might be the next addition to my "Potty Dollar" collection.

I like Henning nickels, and think they are super cool. That one looks to be in very nice shape (there is no such thing as a fully-struck, MS example). You did leave off the reverse (and that's the most fun part). Note: I would advise you that if any FBI/Secret Service agent comes for the Henning... put the CZ down and hand the coin over... it will just make it easier. tj96 1
