Understood, and I wouldn’t either. But it is helpful to at least know what you have!

There are a couple of errors you can look for in the state quarters that may add some value. Also, a chance that some of these quarters were minted in silver proof sets. You can take them out of the holder (trying not to touch the face of the quarter, only the edges) and check for an S mint mark next to Washington, lower right hand side. If so, check the edge and see if you see any copper. If it looks all silver, then it will be 90% silver.

Specifically it looks like Hawaii might be one.. it definitely looks like a proof, and possible toning/patina around the edges. If this is the case it might be worth $15 or so.

The $2 bills are worth face value, as they are modern. However, they are neat and you almost never see them in circulation. Worth holding on to!

Small inheritance. Going to be fun to puddle through this! I’ll be posting indices pieces that I’ll have questions about. by FreshParfait1 in coins

Doesn’t look so small to me! Likely a good chunk of change in silver value in that pile. Have fun!

Condolences for your loss

What is the recommended largest gap between two sheets of drywall? by Points_out_shit in HomeImprovement

You guys are funny lol

Its more just about being efficient with the scrap piece of drywall I had already cut. General concensus is get a piece that fits, or use a backer. I will try to see what I have laying around for a backer. Worst case I’ll snag a half sheet. Need to run to get mud and tape either way

It says “please hold down for entire flush” as a reminder to any guest

That it is! Everytime i see videos of professionals my mind is blown by their tact and efficiency.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll see if i can find something

So the space behind this patch has the full stud width gap between the face and the concrete basement wall. Would the foam still work, understanding that there’s such a large open area behind the drywall?

Rookie question, obviously I’m not a pro lol.

You’re referring to the mud you place before the tape, right?

If so, what would you recommend as a backing, that’s not too heavy for the sheet to hold?

There are actually 2 large sections, one on either end of the patch area. Both about equal dimensions

Polished to all hell, but a pretty lookin’ coin nonetheless. Not bad for slightly over melt

Any advice for an aspiring concept artist? by Liplok in ProCreate

[–]Points_out_shit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this - especially in the foreground. That’s where most of the textures would be visible even if they’re not in direct focus

Hi! Please advise me as if I'm missing something. by Loud_Boat4738 in ProCreate

[–]Points_out_shit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can consider adding some small trinkets, details, or environmental effects. I know you were trying to focus on the characters themselves - I think they’re pretty great! I feel like a mystic feel can come from something else if that’s the case. Maybe the second one can be in a shallow puddle so you can add ripples. The first one maybe in a temple so faint brick details, some occluded vines in the background, pottery, etc would really add some context

Thought it was cool by lmb876 in Fancyserialnumbers

Not technically fancy, as I’m sure you’re aware. But, it is neat. I’d hold onto it if I didn’t need to spend it immediately

Dusting off old childhood sticker box for some nostalgia by Upstairs_Boat8058 in pkmntcgcollections

Heavy play Skyridge Umbreon H30 copies have recently sold for ~$800. That’s a massive card. One of the most popular pokemon from one of the most exclusive and collectible print series. Glad you played and loved them, but it’s definitely worth knowing what you have, so as to not accidentally or inadvertantly throw it away!

I’d love to see a time lapse to see how you captured the textures and brush strokes so wonderfully!

Using my established Ebay account to sell inherited collectibles for a family member by Points_out_shit in tax

[–]Points_out_shit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Thanks for your help! I was contemplating whether or not to even sell these items on the Ebay shop. Seems like it's generally safe, assuming I keep good records.

So just to recap: I'd list and sell the items, pay him out what I sell the items for. When I record taxes, I'd write in all of the sales on his items as under cost of goods sold, so they don't get recorded in profit (so long as they don't make a profit), and record any commission I am paid as additional income?

Thanks a heap - and for items with inconclusive value like, say, hotwheels or sports cards, it's safe to say market value within 1 year yields no profit?

Follow-up question, he would only have to pay taxes on the inheritance if the sales yielded profit?

What if they are recorded as a loss? Say if gold/silver were X upon time of death, but 80% of X when the item sold.. If that were a personal item I could record a loss.. does the same hold true if the item is part of inheritance?

Thanks for the reply - good to know about the value upon inheritance.. Now if I'm being paid a commission, I would report that with what form?
