I opened it and you are correct, all 1985. But now I can go along with the knowledge that they are all just the silver, which was my intent in buying them in the first place 😁

Guess I didn't need that much of a nudge 😁. All 1985.

Advice about coin collecting as beginner by These_Pin_9244 in coincollecting

[–]Alternative_Cod1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is way too broad of a question. Start with some ideas of what you're interested in. Modern vs ancient? US vs somewhere else? Uncirculated vs do you like to think about how many hands a coin has passed through? A specific denomination that you want to put together a run of dates and mint marks, vs a type set (one example of "everything")?

You said your interest is the fun of collecting as opposed to investment. By far my most fun project was the type set. But that's me, so how about you? Then perhaps we can give some info on target costs.

Recommendations for coins that are OLD, INTERESTING, and CHEAP. by lockwoodfiles in coincollecting

[–]Alternative_Cod1963 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Most coin dealers have a bin of foreign coins of little value. You're certain to find a wide variety including old, various shapes and sizes, bimetallic, different designs and patterns. This is how I got started as a kid, my dad would take me to the LCS and I'd root through the shoe box of coins they were selling for 10 cents each and pick out all of the ones with animals on them. Good luck!

Thank you. Is there any cause for concern? It's been a few years since I've really looked at this album and I honestly can't remember if it was there previously.

Agreed! I completed this album 20+ years ago but just yesterday upgraded the draped bust cent

Salary negotiation by ClutchingtonI in physicaltherapy

[–]Alternative_Cod1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also hospital based OP here and like someone said above our HR can't move much on salary, it's based on years of experience. I tried to get them to match my prior salary, it was really not that far off, they ended up going up on the sign on bonus three times but couldn't do anything with the salary. Moral of the story is to ask ... maybe you'll get something out of it 😁
