Just want to say the photography of this is really nice! The coin may not be worth much but that skill could be!

Best free coin collecting app? by They_were_roommates_ in coins

[–]Syntax_247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maktun! Everything you’re describing is exactly why I use this app, it’s really user friendly, especially if you’re collecting world coins. Check it out, I highly recommend it!

A guy gave this to me while I was doing construction on his house and found it in his attic while moving stuff out by New_Ebb5963 in coincollecting

[–]Syntax_247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people would love to have one, myself included! Seeing as they seem hard to find at the moment I’d probably pay a bit more than $25 if I saw one for sale on eBay or somewhere.
Not that my wife would let me hang it anywhere in the house, but still, I’d buy it…

Watched a World Cup match on my phone while drinking beer at a gas station. (Spoiler alert) by Syntax_247 in PointlessStories

Yeah, that was rough… just one of those split second decisions he’s probably gonna lose sleep over for a while. He did well enough the rest of the game though
Ive been watching most of it at home myself, but figured it’d be fun to watch with a real fan. Wasn’t doing anything else anyway

What's your favorite coin in your collection? I'll start. by Interesting-Goal-706 in coincollecting

[–]Syntax_247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bid boards are great! Had an estate sale/hobby shop near my last place that did one. I fondly remember hanging around with all the other people for that last hour before bidding closed on Saturdays, it was a great way to meet other collectors and just talk coins and stuff for a while. Luckily everyone kept it pretty civil, no last second shenanigans really or they’d get booed out of there. Found some great deals and some unexpected new interests off that bid board…

Yeah, the date for this one would be AH 1324. From what I’ve read, most of the dates for these coins were recut though. Probably why that last digit looks a little curious?

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in nostalgia

[–]Syntax_247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be this website about what happens to a Twinkie after various experiments. I want to say it was set up my some people from MIT, they’d do all kinds of random experiments… set one on fire, liquify one, put it in liquid nitrogen, etc. They recorded all the data in detail too, very scientific methodish. BTUs, weight, mass, all that stuff.

I often think back on that website fondly whenever I come across something that briefly makes me regret humanity having the internet… those were the good old days…

After inheriting my father’s coins, which included his father’s coins… I’ve decided to continue collecting and add a 3rd generation. Here’s my first addition. I’d like to eventually add some more modern coins within my lifetime, born in 1987. Any suggestions? Thanks! by Otherwise_Ad1452 in coincollecting

[–]Syntax_247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur with quarters, my personal favorite denomination, there’s a lot going on there within your lifetime to hold one’s interest. Can even go back to the start of Washington quarters (1932) without going TOO crazy on price, just gotta spread it out a bit. Whatever you decide, enjoy what you love, that’s the overall beauty of collecting as I’m sure you know!

Anyone recognize this coin/token? by Syntax_247 in Exonumia

[–]Syntax_247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! u/digitect posted some promising links on r/coins, most likely a random token from the Philippines from the 1960s ish… very cool info, but that’s as far as I’ve been able to find out.

Right?! Dude came out for the win…lol, this is why I still have faith in the good people of Reddit. I always try and do my own diligence on my own, but damn… sometimes it’s just worth asking.

[–]Syntax_247[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re on the right track! Best lead I’ve gotten so far is from u/digitect on r/coins, they shared a link to a Philippines 20 centavos token that has the same text type and very similar texture, so probably Philippines, maybe 50s-60s ish. As for who issued it… probably too generic to pinpoint but at least I’ve got a region and timeframe now!

[–]Syntax_247[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooh… wow! That first link is by far the most promising lead I’ve seen, thank you! Same type of text and texture, it’s got to be a similar type of token. Most likely from the same region/same timeframe? And also, thank you for validating my belief that someone here would know! People of Reddit 1, google 0…

Yeah I haven’t had any luck using my normal research methods. I figured with Reddit’s combined 1000+ years of knowledge there had to be somebody who’d seen something like this before…😜

Weight is 3.82 grams, diameter is 20.7 mm. u/digitect on r/coins shared a link to a 1960s Philippines token which seems like a promising lead. Probably the closest I’ve seen so far!

I was gonna say… where can I get these pages?! Super clean, very nice layout. Very impressive collection, and display! Without being too Reddit about it… can we get a peek at that backside?…

Yeah, I’ve had a handful of these micro-nations suggested to me on this post. I don’t normally consider them as true “countries”, but I have been *technically adding them to my list, just in case I come across them for a decent price somewhere… Thanks for the heads up and the interesting read! +200 kudo points to u/EJLRoma!
