it must be your lucky day if you randomly find a coin in your mailbox

schepys, us older folks randomly place things so we can randomly rediscover them again. Happens all the time.

 

Lol I have done that few times.

 

That's a darn good looking Coin. Talk to me about it !!

 

I didn't realize that, that's what I've been doing. lol

 

we all do that at times

 

Well, I'm going to bed and dream about all the ancients and pennies I've seen tonight.

 

Those are the best kind of dreams

 

anybody have any ideas on what errors and dates i should look for in my cup of pre 1983 pennies

 

Look it up

 

I just received 4 packages in the mail today. Most of them coins. 1 of the 4 I know is a Snap-On box end ratchet wrench, that I won on eBay for $0.99, and even with the $3.50 shipping, for $4.49 that Snap-On wrench is a STEAL !
After I open the packages, I'll post what the coins are.

Edit : I just looked up the wrench at Snap-on's online store : $38.50 w/Free shipping.

WOW !! What a deal !!

 

1st package : a 1922 Peace dollar with a free bonus of a 1960 Lincoln cent in (I'm guessing here) MS 63-65 Red. I'll have to research to determine L or S date, but since there's not a whole lot of difference in the value, I'm very happy regardless.

More later

 

2nd package : It's kind of a good news/bad news thing. I bought 3 items from this seller and 1 of them is not in the package. I've already emailed a message about it. We'll see what happens.

Anyway, 1 of the 3 is a 1967 Mexico Un Peso in AU condition with lots of luster and in an airtight holder.

2 of 3 is a group of coins : a set of 11 Wartime silver nickels in a decorated cardboard holder. All are F to VF, no steps to be seen. But it's actually what I expected. A set called " Buffalo Nickels Old & New ". The Indian head is a 1936 D with very little detail left, as to be expected in these kinds of sets, and the 2005 is in surprisingly good shape, lots of luster but with some bag marks on the obverse.
Finally, a set of "Wartime Steel Cents". As you might expect, all with wear, none with luster.

Now you might ask " Hookman, why do you buy these tourist market coin sets?"
And I would reply about the Peso and the War nickels "The silver, my friend. The silver." If you catch them right, they're a good deal.
As for the steel penny and buffalo sets, again, if you catch them right they're not too expensive and I use them as gifts to friends and family.
These coins have a story to tell, and they come packaged, ready to tell it.

3 of 3 is the missing part. It consists of currency and various coins. We'll see what the seller has to say tomorrow.

 

3rd package : This is 2 sets of what the seller calls " a set of all 5 of the Kennedy 40% half dollars ". In other words, this package is 10 40% Kennedy halves. Nothing special about any of them. They're just silver to me.


And now, I bid you Adieu and Good Night !

 

that really is a great deal

Very helpful.

That's good to know. Now I have to search my throwbacks.
