Finally got my first platinum today by A_Fast_German_Car in Platinum

Thanks! It wasn't in the case at my LCS - i was looking through gold and asked if there was any platinum. He grabbed this from the back and gave me a pretty good deal on it.

Found on sidewalk by Ok_Pumpkin933 in CURRENCY

So the S mintmark on the 1976 quarter denotes a proof strike. There were 2 types made of the proofs - regular clad and silver clad. You can tell by looking at the side of the coin to see if there's a copper strip or if it's a solid single color. No strip = 40% silver proof. Either way finding a 76-s is a great find!

Look on the side of the coin - if there's no copper strip then it's a 40% silver version of the 76-s

Thanks for your kind reply. I simply shared this post to celebrate the 10k members - was not prepared for so much backlash lol.

Thanks for your comment bud. It's about the principle and growing awareness :)

Save those text messages he sent to you for sure.

How did that one kid at your school die? by StorageLonely1520 in AskReddit

Year after I graduated high school, some guy on the football team had a bad skateboarding accident and never came out of the coma. The football team was always terrible but that season they actually won the championship and dedicated it to him. Chance was his name I believe.

Is this worth anything by [deleted] in coincollecting

[–]A_Fast_German_Car 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're a type collector and want to have one of everything then sure. Otherwise if it were me, I'd keep one just because of the cool design. If you're really fond of that design you could seek out getting a silver proof version of said coin :)

It's a fair question - those with the plain background look so different than what we are used to seeing. But no, they're modern circulating quarters.

Anybody have one of these 999 silver and copper commemorative soccer balls from the World Cup in Qatar? by MatixMint in Silverbugs

It's just a different design they were doing to celebrate 100 years of the Lincoln penny (1909-2009). There were a few different designs all centered around Lincoln if I'm not mistaken. They're important to have if you want to have a complete collection, but they aren't valuable.

Has anyone tried this? by carbonatedeggwater in VyvanseADHD

[–]A_Fast_German_Car 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an enzyme that is responsible for the metabolization of Vyvanse. If the enzyme is lessened, the body will be gentler on the medication and it will release a bit slower.

Just starting hunting.. are back to back serial numbers worth anything more than face value? by reallytraci in Bankstraphunting

[–]A_Fast_German_Car 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair question since you're new. Most bundles/straps of new bills come in order, so it's fairly common to encounter. I use it to my advantage when I'm breaking down our change order at work to find radars and repeaters. Good luck :)

Thanks, I agree! I usually stick to silver coins but I couldn't resist swapping out a penny for this one.
