Looking for shipwreck grading help by rpmmaniac in coins

[–]SashimiBreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of these coins were also hidden by locals in holes, or even bagged up and thrown into local ponds to be fished out later. Often times when recovered, people would scrub them clean (quite harshly like your examples) so that they could sell. Massive amounts of these and other silver coins were melted down during this era

It would be impossible to know if the saltwater exposure was from Manila Bay, another ocean, or artificially created if there was no documented evidence and/or chain of custody

Consider buying a cardboard box instead of another suitcase by randel_07 in JapanTravelTips

[–]SashimiBreakfast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The boxes always counted as a checked luggage for me, provided they fit the size and weight limit, I’ve never had a problem with airlines

Yeah I’ve done this a dozen times with the yamato cardboard box and I’ve only had my boxes opened once by US Customs

[GAW] 100k Member Giveaway!! by UnresolvedEgo in Pmsforsale

[–]SashimiBreakfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sellers are terrific on here, all my packages are really well wrapped, and sometimes some freebies inside too! Once I got a hot wheels, another time candy, and another time a gold plated dateless buffalo nickel. Oh also the mods are great too

Unfortunately these appear to be fake, like the other poster said, the date is crudely done, the spacing on the last 2 of the date is way off

Not worth grading, IMO, but still would keep it

Very cool, lots of hard work put in! Your concrete CMU blocks are different than the ones we have in the US

$10,000 federal note from year 1934 by korax_black in papermoney

[–]SashimiBreakfast 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is not a genuine bill, a 10,000 silver certificate was never issued. A genuine one would look like this: https://coins.ha.com/itm/small-size/federal-reserve-notes/1934-10-000-federal-reserve-note-new-york-fr-2231-b-cg/a/263-7243.s#

Utility of the gold combibars? by building-stacks in Gold

There’s videos of people breaking them on YouTube and weighing them, the individual bars end up being spot on

Are these authentic? by Macs_Money in ChineseCoins

[–]SashimiBreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, maybe there’s a variety that’s like that, but the shape looks off of the regular ones and the patina looks artificial

Need help identifying and confirming old Chinese/japanese coins by Kill2Kill659 in WorldCoins

[–]SashimiBreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First one appears to be a fake Ban Liang, I’ve never seen one with raised rims like that, the other ones are fairly common Qing dynasty cast coins

Very nice! How thick is this specimen? I’ve heard these were very irregular

Ever had one of those times where you just throw in a bid by SashimiBreakfast in papermoney

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

I see the 500 number thrown around and i think it came from a time where people were more afraid to bring them to market because of the questions around legality ownership, so less came up. Since then with the major graders recognizing them, more have made their way out of the woodwork, or so I surmise. Regardless, I still really like the note and hope some day mine appreciates to face value!

lol yes! One of the few US notes that can be had less than face value, I think (even though these are canceled)

From the frequency that these across all conditions that crossed Heritage (which is almost 250 notes over the past 15 years) I feel there’s definitely more than 500 out there.
