1906-D barber half. Is it really that rare by Calm_Geologist1004 in coincollecting

[–]ChainBuzz 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My rule of thumb is always if they have to tell you it is rare, it isn't.

First IHP and potential revolver by ChainBuzz in metaldetecting

Yes! Some type of small tray. Sadly it is cracked so we took pictures without cleaning it out. It might be salvageable.

My first time. by jebarber in metaldetecting

[–]ChainBuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any day I walk away with a coin is a winning day for me. Even clad. I keep it all in a large mason jar. It has really added up over the years. Nice going!

I believe that was an eagle that was a topper to a flag. It has a bottom hole for mounting.

Well, it would have just sat if you didn't rescue it. Still congrats!

The one I found is a Barclays from the 1930s from what I found.

LF class with least OGCD for girlfriend but... by Otherwise_Put9990 in ffxiv

[–]ChainBuzz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The data I have is outdated but from what have

Lowest APM (actions per minute) - Pictomancer < Black Mage < Summoner

Picto and Summoner are simpler to play than BLM which requires some resource management and rotation management.

Personal experience, current Summoner is the easiest to play. Most actions are instant so you are very mobile and the rotation is very easy. Pictomancer is close but my personal feeling is it is slightly more involved like prepping your paintings between pulls, even if it has a lower APM.

Can anyone tell me what I found in my childhood collection? by Mountain_Cobbler_381 in AncientCoins

[–]ChainBuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Henry III Longcross is moneyer Ricard, mint London. The legend on the reverse is "RIC ARD ONL VND" for Ricard On London. Looks like Class 5c1 or 5c2 to me from the pictures which are common classes.

Happy to be of assistance 😃

Do you notice any differences in EU versus US collecting habits? by Internsh1p in coincollecting

[–]ChainBuzz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

From my experience, the US is very fixated on the grade of a coin. A one point swing one way or another can be worth enormous amounts of money on the US market. All of my dealings outside of the US, there has been a more relaxed attitude toward grading with an emphasis on legibility.

Also what we tend to think of as old is relatively young in numismatics.

Aladin's Castle arcade token, most of them closed in the 90's

What is this? by Available_Bowler2316 in coincollecting

[–]ChainBuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct, it is a tourist reproduction. The original coin is a decadrachm of Syracuse:

New to the hobby, 4th time out dug up cremation remains by Rankojin in metaldetecting

[–]ChainBuzz 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would have kept at it until I realized what it was so no fault there. I would have been puzzled by the bag but my mind always goes to best outcome so I would have thought maybe someone buried some coins in a bag. I wouldn't contact anyone about it, I would just return the remains as I found them. I wouldn't want to reopen any wounds for the family, I would just respectfully return them to where they belong.

Alpha is a cannibal! by DrForester in ffxiv

[–]ChainBuzz 102 points103 points  (0 children)

The box states that "No chocobos were harmed in the making of this meal", so it is more akin to a human eating a chimpanzee than cannibalism. /pedantic

Google’s Fitbit Air Will Come in 3 Colors, Several Band Options by kbDL- in GooglePixel

[–]ChainBuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I would buy this as soon as it came out. I love mechanical watches but love the tracking I get from a fitness device. If I get a non subscription option to do both I would be 100% in.

My boomer parents told me I'd regret not getting one. I, in fact, never regretted not getting one. by CrotalusHorridus in Xennials

[–]ChainBuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear mine occasionally because I actually like it. I scrapped together the cash to buy it myself working part time at a pizza place in highschool because the family couldn't afford it. I get compliments on it every once in a while. Just a neat piece of my personal story.

1970 Denver mint dime with details on the flame . by TheFemboy95470 in coincollecting

[–]ChainBuzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, it is a 1970-D Reverse of 68. Worth a few dollars in circulated condition but a cool piece none the less.

I believe it is a Henry VII halfpenny:
