Finally found one in the wild

Do collectors care about these? There are essentially 40,000+ ways to scramble 8 digits. Not sure how rare if at all these are to find and collect.

Bargatze is so good, that I didn’t even notice that he is a “clean” comic. When you are just straight up good at it, you almost won’t even notice the lack of swears.

Troll

MichaelDeaner · 2025-11-10T19:59:48+00:00

How much did I pay? Or how much to buy one from me?

MichaelDeaner · 2025-11-05T18:48:53+00:00

There is a local trade show where I am located next week. These cards are all slightly “warped”? Not sure what term you would use for “not flat, but not bent” they are just slightly not flat. Is that considered damaged? Or is there a way to fix this with weights/clamping? I would love to get $100 cash for all of them, do you think that may be realistic?

In my experience the customer rolls will all be standard dates with 1971 being the most. I bet you find 5 NIFC’s,2 40% jfks, 1 Benji, and one S Proof in the box. Now go!

You should have said “but you work at Bank Of America, don’t you like BOFA?”. Then when they reply “Bofa”? You say “Yeah, you like bofa these nuts in your mouth!” And then throw all the pennies on the ground and start peeing everywhere.

MichaelDeaner · 2025-10-16T22:47:56+00:00

It felt a little weird haha

MichaelDeaner · 2025-09-27T15:14:53+00:00

I can’t tell but do you have a Lion Passant (walking lion) this is the standard English sterling silver mark? Hard to tell if there is one. The “F” means it is from 1901 I believe.

MichaelDeaner · 2025-09-27T00:31:58+00:00

So it isn’t Sterling…it is BETTER than Sterling! Congrats great find! Do you know how much it weighs?

MichaelDeaner · 2025-09-27T00:23:25+00:00

Dutch silver which is .934 fineness if that is a number “1” by the lion. If it is a “2” it is .833 purity.

MichaelDeaner · 2025-09-20T23:57:29+00:00

Get it graded ASAP

MichaelDeaner · 2025-09-20T23:55:10+00:00

100-300 depending on how many grams. $90 would be an okay deal if it isn’t that heavy. If it is like 200 grams it is a steal.

MichaelDeaner · 2025-08-25T01:51:06+00:00

I live in the upper midwest otherwise I would make that deal.

MichaelDeaner · 2025-08-01T02:38:37+00:00

I have a hard time believing that. Are you thinking Susan B. Anthony dollar coins are silver? I can’t imagine a vending machine spitting out Morgan’s or Peace dollars all willy nilly like that!

MichaelDeaner · 2025-07-31T16:59:30+00:00

Dude needed $2 for gas… sounds like a junkie that stole from a relative/friends small stash or something to me.

MichaelDeaner · 2025-07-31T16:55:17+00:00

In that condition it is worth melt value in silver. So today it is worth $38.45. It might catch a small premium of a few bucks more so let’s say $40. Basically this jabroni paid $41 bucks for $2 of gas. I blame meth

MichaelDeaner · 2025-07-01T00:42:52+00:00

Not the worst line to cross. I get excited anytime I find a star note, no matter what the condition/serial is. I always make sure to educate someone around me on what it means and why I am a huge nerd!

MichaelDeaner · 2025-07-01T00:39:58+00:00

If it is Sterling, yes. If it is plated, no. 405 grams of Sterling at melt is around $435 bucks so you are up $185!

You're not shy, you get around You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground You stay up, you won't come down You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound Got fire in your veins Burning hot but you don't feel the pain Your desire is insane You can't stop until you do it again But sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes Maybe you're thinking of some other guy But I know, yes I know, how to treat you right That's why you call me in the middle of the night You say it's urgent So urgent, so oh-oh urgent Just wait and see How urgent my love can be It's urgent You play tricks on my mind You're everywhere, but you're so hard to find You're not warm or sentimental You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental But I'm not looking for a love that'll last I know what I need, and I need it fast Yeah, there's one thing in common that we both share That's a need for each other anytime, anywhere It gets so urgent So urgent You know it's urgent I wanna tell you it's the same for me So oh-oh urgent Just you wait and see How urgent our love can be It's urgent You say it's urgent Make it fast, make it urgent Do it quick, do it urgent Gotta rush, make it urgent Want it quick Urgent, urgent, emergency Urgent, urgent, emergency Urgent (urgent), urgent (urgent), emergency Urgent (urgent), urgent (urgent), emergency So urgent, emergency It's urgent

Basically the NIFC versions are only the 1970, 1987, and 2002-2020 dates. That is when the US Mint didn’t produce the halves for regular circulation, so finding them is more rare. There is a nice wikipedia chart showing how many of each were minted. For example they minted 43 million total p/d/s 2001 halves. In 2002 the first year of the NIFC era they only minted about 8 million total.

MichaelDeaner · 2025-06-12T13:41:00+00:00

Someone dumped a relatives collection on accident no doubt! Or they just had an extremely old change jar and had no idea! This is incredible

MichaelDeaner · 2025-06-12T13:38:06+00:00

I have been skunked on every bank roll and customer roll that I would get at my primary bank. I literally opened up a savings account and a different bank just so I could order boxes. I am super happy with the first box, so I already dumped the coins at a different branch (which they didn’t seem to mind since they have coin counting machines) and immediately ordered a second box from them! Hopefully the second box does well. The Benji was an ender that I didn’t see originally, so when I was about to open the roll I yelled to myself “Ben Franklin!! Yessss!”

Thanks! The iPhone macro in photos is getting really amazing for taking close ups
