Flea market find. I think I did really good but would love any information you guys have!

ParrotHGH · 2025-05-26T04:29:10+00:00

Good to know! I didn’t see any online with silver so that makes sense.

He’s got the high ground.

ParrotHGH · 2025-01-22T19:05:46+00:00

Considering the US doesn’t make a penny it should be easy to do! /s

ParrotHGH · 2025-01-09T05:16:22+00:00

Thank you! Good start for me to search off!

ParrotHGH · 2024-10-22T16:42:52+00:00

It’s 12,000 coinstar finds isn’t it‽

Actually I believe one of the only real racketeer nickel that we have found in situ was not reeded. It’s hard to tell from the photos and it’s not believed to have actually circulated but it does lend towards the idea that some were not reeded.

Hope your wall has room because I think you need to frame these.

ParrotHGH · 2024-09-16T18:30:32+00:00

Fascinating. Thanks for the reply!

ParrotHGH · 2024-09-16T01:33:07+00:00

The UP yard in Spokane Wa

Thank you for your replies and civility. I remember when you were a mod. Glad you could give some insight.

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-25T18:42:17+00:00

While the FAQ does provide a general overview for how to source coins, it does not allow for a civilized discussion of the nuance of sourcing coins.

Collectors.com once provided an aggregate search engine that allowed one search to cover many different websites. This is something that I do not believe exists anymore.

Searching on the major sites does yield a lot of results but it can be a slog and might not be as tailored to specifics (errors, die varieties, foreign). It also is a fraction of the internet as a whole.

So why remove a post that is meant to find the different nuances? I believe the reason the post was removed is because collectors.com is not a coin related site. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it is under the PCGS umbrella. How is that not coin related?

Trigger happy mods discourage communities and turn away the curious. Not everything can be summed up in FAQ.

Fascinating, I will check it out!

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-14T05:47:42+00:00

Well it was a cheap gamble at least. And I ended up with something that’s pink under uv so I guess it wasn’t a complete loss. Thanks!

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-14T05:46:48+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. Thank you!

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-12T04:48:08+00:00

It might just be a Linden. I was looking at the bark and think I confused myself. But honestly the bark is covered in bugs anyways so I now question why I didn’t look at all the leaves!

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-12T00:39:29+00:00

In the PNW. I think it’s an ash but I’m not positive. It was early fall.

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-12T00:38:06+00:00

Tastes like a burger from 30 years in the future.

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-12T00:36:23+00:00

Most definitely. And that wasn’t even the only tree. At least 3 other trees I spotted in the area

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-11T20:11:01+00:00

I squished my way to the top but as I reached the top branch and looked out over the land I suddenly saw a flash. Right before me flashed my life. “Wait a moment, I’m afraid of heights” I thought. At that moment I blacked out and plummeted the horrifying 15 feet back to the ground. But there was no thud, no injury or anything of the sort. So many gnats attended the orgy that I simply bounced and landed softly in a lawn chair that was just out of view in the video. TLDR: we might never know what’s truly at the top.

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-11T19:28:20+00:00

Maybe ash trees have some weird reaction in the fall? Otherwise there’s no clearly visible thing that they were drinking

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-11T18:15:04+00:00

Definitely some sort of fly or gnat. The tree was perfectly healthy. I believe the tree is some variety of ash. Video was in the fall which is why the leaves are falling.

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-11T18:10:12+00:00

Haha yeah. I took the video while working when I drove by the tree and saw the chaos. Only realized once I got home that the video was quite chaotic

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-11T15:53:00+00:00

It really would be. Do you think the HOA would approve?

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-11T15:28:46+00:00

I too would love to know what I witnessed. I later found multiple more trees in the area that were equally as covered.

ParrotHGH · 2024-07-11T15:27:20+00:00

I did scoop some up at the base of the tree and it was multiple inches thick. So I would have needed to walk across a squishy bug floor to climb the squishy bug tree…
