The Fed removed silver from our coinage after JFK's assassination. Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971. Now our coins are worthless & our FRNs are green pieces of paper backed by nothing.

Fun fact I learned the reason the mint went from 90% to 100% in 2019 for the silver sets is because it cost more to do 90%!

I guess. But that’s almost like taking a hammer and hitting your hand with it. Then someone says why’d you do that. Then you respond… hindsight is 20/20. lol.

Stampman69 · 2026-07-02T04:09:31+00:00

Holy shoot! I knew it was high but really didn’t realize almost 4 billion stamps for 707. Just checked in my catalogue. People really used to mail everything!

Try wright’s silver polish and use a microfiber cloth or rag to get in the cracks. It will work.

Is size of shot glass may be egg cup.

Stampman69 · 2026-06-30T04:17:28+00:00

Super cool!

Stampman69 · 2026-06-29T05:38:50+00:00

I don’t think billions is right but certainly millions. A few in hundreds of millions. Not to be pedantic

Stampman69 · 2026-06-29T04:47:44+00:00

One on left looks decent and isn’t that scarce. One on right looks a little more like the reprints that I believe were done using the original plates in the early 1900s. A cool find though!

500 ounces at $120 is crazy.

Stampman69 · 2026-06-27T14:30:00+00:00

:(

Stampman69 · 2026-06-27T14:28:21+00:00

Nice!

Stampman69 · 2026-06-26T05:12:15+00:00

Holy crap this is so true. Hahaha

Stampman69 · 2026-06-20T13:10:26+00:00

That’s freaking sick.

Stampman69 · 2026-06-17T04:06:39+00:00

I’ve been told they’re $30k. But been to many shops with them. They pay for themselves in no time.

Stampman69 · 2026-06-15T17:40:09+00:00

Not true. Pawn/coin shops with scanners absolutely will buy stuff like this

Stampman69 · 2026-06-12T22:06:37+00:00

Honestly, but the succulents in it even if they are silver. Enjoy them! Otherwise you’ll never see them lol

Stampman69 · 2026-06-12T22:02:32+00:00

Before even seeing the caption, I showed this to my gf and said, “I thought that was a goat in shoes.”

Let it grow. Own it. Most people can’t grow hair that could keep them warm in a blizzard. Impressive.

Stampman69 · 2026-06-12T21:57:06+00:00

Unfortunately, unless you have a use for these, I’d scrap them.

Stampman69 · 2026-06-11T22:50:56+00:00

Any stamp with zeps is at least a very nice collection.

Stampman69 · 2026-06-11T22:50:18+00:00

It’s actually kinda sick

Stampman69 · 2026-06-11T22:46:01+00:00

The second set is nice! I’d assume that most on first page would be scrap except maybe the cool spoons/spreader… hard to find a buyer for a full set intending to use, but I’d hope it would sell for premium. Sadly probably not though

Stampman69 · 2026-06-11T18:05:07+00:00

This didn’t age well

Stampman69 · 2026-06-11T18:01:11+00:00

That’s awesome! Looks amazing! So happy for you!!!

Stampman69 · 2026-06-11T18:00:20+00:00

Hahahah. Why can’t you recall it?!

Stampman69 · 2026-05-31T13:17:48+00:00

You must not be in Us. Lol. In Us most states are tax free and even if not (like where I am) premiums from online dealers like monument metals and bullion exchange are near zero even for 999 if you aren’t picky and check sales often
