This Netflix original looks like it might be worth a look (coin related)

    Awe. How cute. They're doing it to save the school. Should be a riot of rotten tomato laughter!

    Take the millennial asininity out of it, and that'd be a great show...

    Have you seen any error coins selling for that kind of money? I suppose they could make a thousand $10,000 coins. Oh wait, wouldn't that make each coin worth less than $10,000? I can't wait to watch this movie so that I can critique it from the standpoint of a numismatist.

    I'm sure the screenplay was written with the numismatic audience in mind ;)

    Assuming this could be done, what kind of error would you create to make the best money? Would you create an improbable mule? Would stack 10 blanks together and stamp I all at once and have them fused together?

    Crazy ones. Like any dies on some nails or screws or sandpaper, or improbable double denominations like SLQ's struck with 2016 ATB dies or mercs struck with 2016 Jefferson dies, or foreign coins struck with US dies etc...

    What if you only had 30 minutes and only have supplies that are in front of you? No old coins muled with new ones.

    Usually a movie with a similar story line will portray the dean or whatever as having been framed or set up while this trailer left it at he embezzled a ton of money. I get he's one kids father but based on that these kids are going to commit another crime in order to help out the guy who was committing a crime? Lol

    Anything lying around. As we all saw with the nail that went for $50k last year, the more unusual the better. Thing is, all of this stuff would need to get authenticated meaning it would have to be a long play game plan submitting and selling one or two things a year. If pcgs got a submission of say 100 or more heck even 10 or or even more than a couple of off the wall items struck with mint dies I bet there would be a call to the mint and an investigation initiated

    Just the opposite. A true numismatic would instantly recognize the improbability of the premise. It's more likely just another teen-agers-save-the-world fantasy, aimed at the teen audience.

    True. But if 'The Rock', Sean Connery, and Jean-Claud Van Damm were starring I believe it could be done. Throw Bobby De Niro in as a supporting actor playing the mint director and a cameo by Edmund Moy......... devil.gif
