1992 D Close AM Found!
RonnieR131 replied to KolVCoinHunter's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
Welcome to the chat forum! ---- When I read the thread topic, I rolled my eyes and mumbled "here we go again". What a surprise, and how refreshing it was when I immediately saw it was indeed a CAM!!! Congratulations!!!! Grade? Who knows, about an AU55 is my GUESS. . Don't be disappointed if it grades EF45, and be very thankful if AU55. (You lucky dog) LoL......I don't search anymore, but this made my day. -
J P M You are getting old. Not wavy, it's 'groovy' in the 'Incense and Peppermints' flower child world. Just ask the Axis, he knows everything. :)

Care to guess the grade: 1907 Barber Dime
RonnieR131 replied to leeg's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
My first thought was a beautiful AU58, but once again I let others sway my guess. I only missed it by 6 grades. Not getting any better, but not getting any worse. LOL.. I am the perfect example of why grading companies are needed when buying and selling coins. At least I was closer than Goldfinger, that's a start. (just kidding pal). -

I say 63, which automatically means 62 or 64, 65,66. I'm never correct. -

Find of the Day at pawnshop
RonnieR131 replied to RonnieR131's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
I drove back to the pawn shop this morning. It's partnership owned by four UNT student young ladies here in Denton Tx.. Although they've only been opened for three months, they're calling it quits and closing. They had hoped to make a profit in diamonds/jewelry, but soon realized one of them needed a gun dealer license to make it work. They decided that since they were so close to 4 colleges and H schools, that they didn't want anything to do with that part of the trade, and understandably so. I get it. Nonetheless, she let me pour out the bucket on a bench and go through its contents. Found nothing of value, but the hunt was fun, a kid in a candy store. I always buy Something, found these 3 and gave her $5 and wished her well on her next capitalist journey. -
Killing time waiting on wife. I always buy Something at a shop I walk into. Went to the All a Dollar bucket looking for tokens, forgot my glasses so I grabbed 5 pieces, paid and went back to my truck so I could use my phone camera to inspect. I was shocked, I was expecting a Canadian or Mexican coin or token. EDIT; So thrilled I forgot to crop the pics, sry about that.

I know. I put a mental CAC sticker on it.

GoldFinger1969 Glad you said something, I didn't want to ask, thought maybe I wasn't clicking on the correct place to open. Everyone else seems to know.

It's almost time for the Fun Show.
RonnieR131 replied to ldhair's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
I'm considering it. I have to drive from Texas to S Carolina on New Years day, unsure about traffic conditions. If all works well, fingers crossed, then I plan on going. At this moment three months is too far away in my somewhat chaotic life to reserve a motel/hotel room in advance. I sure would like to meet the infamous Idhair that forever keeps me entertained and awestruck when looking at the 'Follow the Lead' thread. -
Bunch of old people here. Fenntucky M has it going on! --- I guess Lovek left "through the bathroom window".

What's your favorite counterfeit you have?

What's your favorite counterfeit you have?
RonnieR131 replied to A user's topic in Counterfeit Coins
I was typing too fast and didn't proof read before I entered. Let it be known, using the word 'carrot' is only the third mistake I've ever made in my life. -

RonnieR131 replied to A user's topic in Counterfeit Coins
I glued my 1931S penny to my doorbell ringer button. The S was the wrong size for that year. Luckily, I found it in pocket change at the Sonic drive thru window and didn't purchase it. The horribly faked Morgans that my wife purchased for me as a gift online several years ago, at a whopping $1.99 apiece, I tacked onto fence posts for my grandson to target practice with his 22 cal rifle. When they originally arrived and I opened the package, I kept grinning and gave her a hug with a big thank you. I waited till that night to give her a coinworld 101 lesson on fakes, Etsy, bidding scams, etc... I was on a roll, and figured I might as well enlighten her about online jewelry scams as well, before she showed me her 4 carrot diamond that she outbid people for $100 or some other nonsense. -
Interesting story, thanks for sharing. Now go pour that dog another cup of coffee.

Everyone tried their best and Sandon covered it all 3 times. After all of that, Kass then says she's done her research and that it is very rare and 'one of a kind'. So that's that. I wish her well. -
Do you understand what powermad5000 is asking?

The Urban Dictionary gives the most precise and updated version and uses of the word 'woke'. A $50 Gold Eagle looks good to me regardless of design!

Dang it! I wish I would have read this thread before I followed the above instructions and applied it to the Four Dollar Stella I inherited from my great great grandmother. (Just kidding).
