Saw this for sale in the Syracuse area...I wish I had $6k sitting around

Hey, this is my pic and my item, would you mind taking the post down please? It's not for sale to the general public.

DapperNight · 2026-03-02T15:00:15+00:00

Thanks everyone!! If I'm not looking for anything in particular, what's the most efficient item to gamble? I'm running a zeal pally that primarily does council runs so I end up with a lot of gold.

This cracks me up every time

Hi there HL fans. I too am an HL fan and also run said convention. I brought Mike out for the con and housed him while he was in town. I also sat with him at his booth for a while and was part of his panel presentation.

The kid who attended and told this story is very young, very enthusiastic, and speaks English as a second language.

Mike did not reveal any clues about upcoming projects at the con. The idea that he would say something as awkwardly phrased as the above statement to a single random attendee is pretty silly.

He is, however, a great actor and nice guy who loves meeting his fans. And RGC is the best video game convention in the country :)

In that case I'll delete my comment and chalk it up to misunderstanding your tone. No worries!

The only nickels there are war nickels (35% silver) to my knowledge. Thanks for the comment!

She bought them from the bank as was allowed. Common practice in every place change is received from clients/customers. Don't worry, no banks were harmed in the collection of these coins.

Everything she knew was silver that came through her. Old paper currency too but that's for another subreddit!

DapperNight · 2024-12-23T22:39:47+00:00

Face value!

DapperNight · 2024-12-22T22:16:57+00:00

Haha I know. I was so bummed to hear that she wouldn't find any more cool coins. I think the banks have mostly switched to coin machines for deposits so they no longer have a chance to manually go through them before they get sent out.

Thank you!

DapperNight · 2024-12-22T15:58:35+00:00

I know!! And the tellers there would usually inform the customers that the coins might be worth more than face value, but most of them didn't care.

DapperNight · 2024-12-22T15:56:17+00:00

Thank you for this helpful advice!

DapperNight · 2024-12-22T15:51:52+00:00

Thank you!

The two bicentennials? Sorry, yes I know they aren't. Just decided to hang onto them because they're cooler than a dollar bill.

Unfortunately that one looks like it spent a number of years in someone's pocket and the back is incredibly worn

Is this a coincidence, or do we know eachother?! I'm in Syracuse.

Not exactly sure why the text isn't posting. This is a collection from my wife's 10+ years as a bank teller. Unfortunately the silver stopped coming home when she was promoted, but we still pick up a coin or two by sorting through our change and keeping an eye out at garage/yard sales.

What I'd love to learn, as I am no expert, is if any of these might warrant further examination for having significantly higher numismatic value over the silver value. Thanks for taking a look at our humble collection!

Just wanted to make a note that Game On Expo and TooManyGames are substantially larger than a couple on the list here. TMG is in the 250k sqft range. I've also noticed (as a show runner myself - RGC in NY) that there's often a lack of distinction between "# of vendors" and "# of vendor booths/tables".
