GC is 50 miles from the fires. I imagine some of their employees may have been affected but that's a long commute through LA if they are.
Personally I think the real story is way cooler than the Martha's donated silverware story. Nobody ever claimed Martha actually held any of the...
"SsuperDdave" is/was a moderator over on CCF. He hasn't posted there since 2020. I'm not sure if it's the same person though.
And my posts bore 99%. You want to talk about comprehending graders, look at proof Barber dimes. How they decide the difference between PR64 and...
These are the only proof coins I own aside from a 1971-S Ike, so I know very little about them either. Both are rather dark with age, and thus...
Just arrived, 1901 10c NGC PR64, Reverse 3 (thick ribbon). The end of a collecting era for me, as this was the last of 21 Barber dime hub...
From what I've read it is not illegal to merely possess or purchase counterfeit currency/coins. You have to know it is fake and use it to purchase...
My question regarding the Secret Service is that as far as I know, none of the US coins being counterfeited have ever been demonetized. As such,...
Thanks, that aligns with what I was told five+ years ago now. ANACS told me to go to CONECA or Wexler. I think at that time CONECA passed me on to...
I think your discovery coin is this one? https://www.cointalk.com/threads/vammers-delight.415402/ I won't put any dollar limit on an ANACS slab,...
Huh? What metal flowed into what die?
My level of thrifty has gone higher over the years, but for this thread I'll set it at anything nice or interesting for under $100 and below...
I think you're on to something.
I searched for W.R.L. Company and got nothing. I tried Wilmington Rail Line but nothing there either. Some things are lost to history I suppose.
I should say that I'm not sure if the coins are there permanently or if they were part of a temporary exhibit that changes, and we were just...
What a cool idea. I got the coin collecting merit badge way back when. I'm happy to see that it's still a thing. Clearly that was a bulk...
The forum dad on CCF gets them gone in the blink of an eye, or used to. Maybe that's who you're thinking of. It shouldn't be based on knowing...
There must be a joke in here somewhere about the "ancient standard service." Like the way their service used to be or something. Maybe it's just...
That sounds great. We've been to the coin museum in Thailand, one in Iceland (very hard to find), and the Crypte Archéologique de l'İle de la Cité...
Well that was quick, it's in the mail. Won it New Year's eve. 2025 goal achieved in 2024. Now what.
