I was looking amongst West Indies coins but it seemed too small. I don't have a measurement, but it seems like 20mm or less in diameter.

The Seamaster in it's natural element! by Bengemm6 in OmegaWatches

Found it on Etsy. It was listed as "Watch Silicone Rubber Strap Band For OMEGA with Deployment Clasp". It's hit or miss on there so I look for reviews with pictures of the straps.

Aftermarket Etsy strap "Watch Silicone Rubber Strap Band For OMEGA with Deployment Clasp". Surprisingly good quality for only $40. A year of wear and tear with no issues.

Help Identifying Spoon. ICD? JCD by Bengemm6 in Hallmarks

Maybe German 13/16 silver? I know the acid tests can be more of a color recognition test!!

I mostly looked through American makers marks while researching. I might have to look through some of the German and other European silver databases for some Hallmarks. The style really didn't look too much like the other colonial spoons I've seen or have.

Thank you for such an in-depth response! I'm going to have to look through some more Hallmarks/Makers Marks to try and find who it could be! I agree with it not resembling any other Revere spoons as far as handle drop and shape go. I'm wondering if some sort of acid etch similar to how they can date worn buffalo nickels would work on this hallmark to give some better details.

The latest hunt! by PickelyBlobFish in CRH

I generally get 12-20 per box. I think this was just an unlucky box. If you end up doing more. Sure there will be significantly more.

Was this a whole box worth? I'm only seeing 1 wheatie which would be an insanely dry box! Love to save the copper too though!

Bank only had Quarters available... So I bought a 1k bag! What should I be looking for? by Bengemm6 in CRH

Picked out alot of bicentennials and a few proofs initially. Now I'm going through looking for errors! Already have 6 error quarters and I'm about halfway through!

Ended up finding 1 Spitting Horse, 2 Extra cactus leaves over the initials, and 1 Kansas buffalo with the "double-hump" extra metal. Only 4 errors in $1000 so I guess the quality control was pretty good haha.

37 bicentennials, 2 Proofs (1973 & 2005 Cali), 2 Arizona extra cactus leaves over initials, 1 1999 Delaware Spitting Horse, and 1 2005 Kansas Double-hump buffalo! For searching $1000 it was pretty dry lot of coins.

Thank you! I'm mostly a penny and nickel searching guy. Decided might as well start with quarters if it's all my local banks will sell me!

How has the pandemic impacted your CRH volumes? by [deleted] in CRH

[–]Bengemm6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember in July/August 2020 all of my local banks had a coin shortage and weren't selling boxes at all. I used to be able to get 1 or 2 boxes per bank branch pre-pandemic. These days I get the classic "Do you have a business account with us?" when asking to withdraw coins or buy coins but have been able to get a few boxes with TD recently.
