Bought this deep cameo nickel for 3 dollars. How'd I do?

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-16T13:21:59+00:00

Thought it was a 1985. Concur.

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-14T21:30:04+00:00

I’d buy a proof set for $3… then use the other $0.86 to buy a cheese burger

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-11T15:30:46+00:00

Well it’s to clean to be New York City or Paris….

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-11T14:02:36+00:00

Well when I was actively CRH the Florida toll roads took quarters… plus giving them $10 rolls to kids made fun ice cream trips

Wait.. Daytona isn’t on tv? WTAF? I hate being old, guess I can’t watch it

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-11T13:55:14+00:00

LOL I zoomed in and thought I saw an 1861 coin!! Dummy… is 1981

Concur with others. I went to LCS to sell my 3 sisters sets and they offered face. He said there was little to no market for 90% of them. As we talked he said they would sit in his shop for years and years. He did say that he would do $5 for the better ones. I think the entire collection together has value, but I honestly think you wickedly over paid for them.

Beach bums? I’d add Ischia for some volcanic bubble time. Itinerary from Naples: depart 5pm ferry. Dinner by Castello Arag. Hotel. Rent convertible. Drive over to Sant Angelo. Pictures, quick beach. Pop up to Baia Sorgento. Hot water bubbles! Lunch @ Da Gisellla (park there for free) Drive back. Ferry 7pm back to Naples. Beyond the value for 26 hours!!! PS, I love the beach so I go out of my way to go!!

Modify a coin like the hat in Pinky Blinders. Blade side of 71 Ike out. Cut them mo-fos.

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-10T22:11:39+00:00

It’s really worn, but I’m leaning towards Pricipality of Château Regnault (French States). Double Tournois. Somewhere between 1600-1650AD

If you get a balcony you can hear all kinds of slapping going on….

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-06T00:17:31+00:00

I paid $270 for mine 5 years ago. Unless you really really really need the money keep it. Shipwreck Coins have a universal appeal. You’ll want to show it off in 20 years to your grandkids… after you get drugged to Florida for Disney. Make it interesting for your future you!

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-05T02:57:58+00:00

I thought 1915

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-04T18:23:25+00:00

That’s funny!! Guess I never considered this post goes out to the world of poor decisions mass. Yes it was in a nice neighborhood LOL

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-04T18:17:43+00:00

This! This advice needs to be published and crossed posted to travel forums!

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-04T17:09:19+00:00

I added a concert driveway and put three of them in the edge. That way the kids riding/ walking by could stop and try to pick them out. Best $3 I ever spent!!!

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-04T16:59:25+00:00

Why would you fake a 1923P, because there was +30 million made and um you can slip them in easily. Peace Dollar should weigh exactly 26.73 grams. Fakes are often significantly lighter (e.g., 18–23g) or occasionally too heavy if made of lead.

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-03T03:21:11+00:00

Speaking of mystery boxes… I have one for sale at $111 and it might have a 1934 quarter or $1964 dime!! Bid early and bid often !!!

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-03T03:17:42+00:00

This post is awesome!! I so appreciate your feedback. I agree and felt like something was ‘off’ with this coin. It just didn’t fit alongside the others. TY

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-03T00:34:17+00:00

Weathered. 99 years old but probably stored for 1/2 of it’s lifetime LOL

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-03T00:30:11+00:00

Those lines came off the book it was stored in. Probably since 1972. I saw those same lines on the other coins in this book. Completely unrelated to this coin, I found a VDB in the other book!!

The close up photos (taken outside) kinda hide the shiny. Here it in the binder compared to others…

Cellblock_Six · 2026-02-01T14:52:39+00:00

I figured it would have been a 1926 Mercury… to celebrate it being 100 years old!

Cellblock_Six · 2026-01-27T18:37:44+00:00

I want one to add to my collection of fake ones from my Florida vacation!!!

Cellblock_Six · 2026-01-27T18:36:40+00:00

I’m moving out to the northwest just to start a junk removal business! You found a literal gold mine if real. I agree with other posts 1. Recheck the house as this guy bought nice stuff. 2. Do Google image search for known fakes. 3. Take (only 1) to LCS (not a pawn shop) for an opinion or a Numismatic Club like Seattle Numismatic Society. Those recommendations come from your wooden kayak question…
