Introductions [MyCollect™ Official]

Hi. My name is Craig. I live in Delaware. I collected when I was younger but got out of the hobby after going to college and started working. I’m in my 40s now and just started getting back into the hobby again. I don’t have a series I’m truly dedicated to yet but am leaning towards CBHs. Aside from that I like anything that speaks to me - I tell people I’ll know it when I see it and hold it it’s a coin for me. I really want to up my grading skills so my goal is to put in the reading and hands on experience I can get coupled with a great platform like this to improve my skills. I’m already learning a lot and hope to be able to contribute more in the future. I need friends so reach out and add me. Thanks.

  pmazumdar I don’t see anything worth certifying. Unless you have some doubled die maybe. But you certainly don't have the 1955 or 1969-S FS-101 doubled dies. I reccomend picking up a red book. Get the spiral bound, it's cheaper, and easier to use.

At my LCS we tested if you can scan coins through packages with those coin apps and you can it pulls up the exact coin but if you wrap the coins in aluminum foil first then package them it will not scan no coin will come up so the industry needs to use a foil package or wrap to prevent this.

  JDRosellePark raws prob should be too, obv inside flip or envelope first. I think the package scanners 'see' through, and can detect metal or other objects.

Like Ryan said, theft ring in there for years
2020
USPS signed 'for me'
I paid extra for signature, to add to the insult
1 oz + ½ oz AGE

Someone in scanning prob sees it, notifies buddy in sorting, the sorter gashes open package and pulls it out, hides it. Or something like this.

I also had some packs just disappear.

I recall hearing of a raid at one post office, and they found dozens of iphones and other big ticket items stashed, esp in bathroom. It's possible someone in janitorial collects it all, smuggles out w trash.

  This was in my city, then miraculously travelled back to Ann Arbor in an hour (easily a 4 hr drive). Neither i or sender requested it held at Ann Arbor post office, that was BS. It was also not at the post office. It vanished.

  SilverAge3 I got a package last week looks like somebody had ripped it open pulled out the contents and stuffed them back in. Fortunately, they were just heavy pieces of metal tubing with rubber bushings so they didn’t like what they found.

Sorry to hear this! There is no doubt a theft ring within USPS. It's been going on for years and getting worse.

The scarce red book variety 3 1/2 leg buffalo is a coin id love to get. They absolutely went crazy with prices in the past year or so.

Sounds like a familiar journey! I collected for a while till I was in college too but got right back into it after that. College had way too many pretty girls and not enough time for coins.

Welcome back into the fold. I think many of us have a similar collecting time line. Numismatics has the habit of always drawing you back in!

That's a cool set to put together (Series of 1923) You also need the $1 "Horse blanket" Silver cert, $5 silver cert "Porthole", and the $10 "Poker chip"

I'm no expert on paper currency, but this looks like it could be a slightly rarer note, although it's in pretty rough shape. This is a $1 Legal Tender U.S. Note from 1923, which is the last year they made U.S. notes in this larger size. IMO probably worth around $140-$200.

I've been researching more about errors lately, but unfortunately I think this is just a vice job. Probably not a mint error, based on the fact it's two minted coins stuck together and not a single planchet, but rather someone that got curious and decided to fuse two coins together. It's certainly an eye-catching and interesting piece, though! No real numismatic value, but I'd hold on to it!
