Why would someone collect a coin where millions upon millions were minted?? You don't see me marking any 1987 halves or proofs...

 

Because, in the future when millions of these have been melted or otherwise recalled or destroyed, maybe this one is one of the few that survived. I am sure people who made love tokens on half dimes did not for a second worry they would be damaging a rare coin someday. To them, these were "minted in the millions so why would anyone ever collect them"?

 

my coins shall be the survivors then!

 

Found a few Up in Maine lol worse than red paint there's someone up here marking them with a knife, found rolls and rolls with a small line scratched between the last 2 digits.

 

I'm going to start marking halves with red paint...Edit.

 

Question is still unanswered, why?

 

Same as a dog marking territory.

 

And here I thought I had no life by spending so much time searching through case after case of half dollars! Buffalo Boy has me beat by a mile! I've culled through probably 10,000 half dollars in the last two months and I bet I touched a half a case of half dollars with the "red Buffalo Boy" mark... 3/14 was the mark on all that I found... must mean that Buffalo Boy in March touched the same coins I was touching in December? He's from Buffalo? We have a couple... one I call "Stripe Man" because he just stripes halves with a simple stroke... couple of other folks marking the coins; but Buffalo Boy takes the take.

south carolina? how'd your coins get to Philly? I don't get this rigamarole of how and where these half dollars come from? You have a clue?

 

My coins travel far... and @jCHILD, my coins have likely been through the hands of 4-5 other CRH'ers before getting into your hands, my coins recirculate rather quickly, in as little as three weeks.
Hope this helps out guys, Keep on searchin'.

 

I don't care who he is your ruining coins please stop! Buy a cute little sticker that can be removed if we come across your filth! If it were only a sticker i would even leave it there for the next person to find or remove if they chose!!! but defacing any coin makes my stomach and head hurt! Obviously you only hunt for the silver not because your interests in coins! Ugh get on my nerves!

 

I put a lot of halves into real circulation. (not just depositing at another bank) usually $80 per week, give or take. As I am going through I separate the nice clean ones from the ones that are not. Coins that are gouged by the wrapping machine, bent, gunky, have glue on them, paint on them, or what ever, and CRH's personal marks get rerolled and deposited at a bank. So all in all about half get put in the hand of someone who appreciates them. but not the ones that are marked.
I would rather not see the marks. But its a free country. make your choice.

 

If one of those makes it this far. I will melt it in the smelter with all the other graffiti coins I have been accumilating.

That won't stop the fact the got mutilated to begin with.

Like it or not, coins are personal property. If I want to go mutilate a roll of BU 1939d nickel I have, or a AU SL half dollar, no one has a legal right to stop me.

It is what it is, and we are powerless tonstop it, just like we were powerless to stop counterstamps or love tokens in the 19th century. It all forms the story of our coinage for better or worst.

 

Understood,
I own some love tokens, and collect them for the art, and what they represented.
Graffiti on the other hand is childish.

 

Remarks were removed, infractions may have been given. COINS are not protected by law, except for melting of certain ones. Sexual identification IS, and is NOT a topic on this forum. Go to Partisanlines.com. The type of language and comments were childish, coin graffiti has been with us for centuries. Jim

 

My, bad.
