    texmech Wanna be coin collector

    I see there are people talking about the making of a trillion dollar coin to get around certain financial limitations our esteemed politicians are fighting over. I am just wondering:
    • Would the grading services slab it and grade it?
    • What if it came back with no grade from a grading service
    • What would e-bay price it at?
    • How many would be minted?
    • Any numismatic value?
    • Any varieties or errors?
    • Where would it be minted?
    • Why not currency?
    • Who would be on the obverse and reverse?
    • Would it fit in a 2 x 2?
    • Made of what?
    • Would the Chinese try and counterfeit it?
    • Would there be a special mint set made?
    • What if I took it to the Pawn Stars and they only offered be 500 billion?
    • If it was mine would my kids take my coin collecting hobby more serious?
    • If it was mine would my wife take my coin collecting hobby more serious?
    • Think I would need a better safe or hiding place
    • How to store it?

    I welcome your input or additions

    • Would the grading services slab it and grade it?
    • Probably
    • What if it came back with no grade from a grading service?
    • Who cares?!
    • What would e-bay price it at?
    • Numismatic value x 3 + Shipping
    • How many would be minted?
    • Mintage in the billions like everything else
    • Any numismatic value?
    • Depends on demand (which I imagine would be non-existent)
    • Any varieties or errors?
    • ​With the way every other US coin ever made has been categorized, heck yeah!
    • Where would it be minted?
    • The Niue Island mint, of course!
    • Why not currency?
    • Save trees
    • Who would be on the obverse and reverse?
    • Me, and Eagle
    • Would it fit in a 2 x 2?
    • Why wouldn't it?
    • Made of what?
    • Iridium, duh!
    • Would the Chinese try and counterfeit it?
    • Was this question a joke?
    • Would there be a special mint set made?
    • You're asking the wrong question. It should be "Would there not be a special mint set made?"
    • What if I took it to the Pawn Stars and they only offered be 500 billion?
    • Do the smart thing and sell it on the only place you'll make money off of coins-eBay!
    • If it was mine would my kids take my coin collecting hobby more serious?
    • Probably
    • If it was mine would my wife take my coin collecting hobby more serious?
    • She'll probablly spend it for face value on the Smithsonian collection of diamonds or something worthless like that.
    • Think I would need a better safe or hiding place?
    • In the only place a person can hide things from wife: The treadmill
    • How to store it?
    • In your pocket!

    If it was yours would you really care about the opinions of the wife and kids? In some cases, would you even care about the wife and kids?
