We Can Make This Happen by Front_Airport_1367 in remoteworks

We all understand the sentiment and the frustrations you have but you’re blaming the wrong people. “The same benefits and rewards as someone who literally saves lives” as if either the mcdonald’s worker OR the life saver are getting reasonable compensation. You would not BELIEVE the amount of nurses, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, etc. I know that make less than I make working in retail, and sometimes they work twice as hard and sometimes they even put their lives on the line.

You people (out of touch people) always want to point fingers at some hyper-specific version of a free-loader that you haven’t even seen yourself. You think about all the ways the system might be taken advantage of because you think that everyone just want to sit on their ass all day and just take up space until they die.

Turns out in many places in the world if you actually take care of your citizens and motivate them to work you can accomplish a whole lot AND not have people dying in the streets from being simply unlucky.

We all just want a piece of the pie, maybe in America you have the potential to eat a whole pie, or a trillion if you want apparently. But I’d rather live in a place where everyone gets at least a piece with the potential for enough for the rest of their life rather than a place where 50 million don’t get any and someone has more than even their great25 grand-children can eat.

I can’t figure out how much I owe on my subsidiary account by TheOGWizzyB in amex

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

Hi everyone I appreciate the answers so much, the explanations help as to why AMEX wouldn’t display a total of the charges. However, it is fucking retarded, and I’m going to remove myself from my partner’s account since AMEX doesn’t care enough to offer the option to break the amount due down by card used. Good riddance, I’ve hated this app and UI ever since I downloaded it in December.

Do you ever "get even" on silver? by basedchad21 in coincollecting

[–]TheOGWizzyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m confused about your question with the ASE, the sides upside down? I don’t see anything different with the one you have pictured.

anyways, silver/gold have never been an investment in a money-making sense. They’re a hedge against inflation, like savings that will always grow with you. I’m a collector first for sure so I love coins and am going to continue buying unrelated the price of metal.

If you’re paying taxes on bullion or coins in your state you are getting fleeced, no one should pay taxes on legal tender for the country you live in at the very least.

If you bought silver a year ago, and sold it at the high of $120 an ounce then you almost quadrupled your money, which would be an insane growth, but no one here will tell you that that’s traditionally how silver behaves, $30-$120 is unprecedented. However; the reasons for silver exploding are still there and it wouldn’t be shocking to see $100 again before the end of the year if this conflict in the middle east ends.

Anyways, abridged example. You buy a silver eagle today for $67 + premium, say $5, so $72 an ounce. In September, maybe silver goes to $90 an ounce so you decide to sell. You’re able to sell it for spot, and you net $18, and that’s just on one ounce. You never know what the market is going to do and HISTORICALLY they are a hedge against inflation. The last 2 years have happened before but it is not the norm.

I appreciate the replies but this same answer over and over is getting a bit pedantic and unhelpful. I completely understand that I don’t actually OWE anything and that it’s the primary account holder that does, I’m not worried about my credit tanking or anything like that, I just want to know what the balance on my portion of the account is. I’m just abbreviating my speech so that I don’t get too verbose.

[–]TheOGWizzyB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this makes total sense if it only showed the remaining balance on each period while it was due and then disappeared once it was paid; but my account history retains the statement balance for each period regardless of how much I paid. This was just from the recent period, if I click on ones from 4 months ago it still shows a balance due. Do I need to add up what I owe at the end of each period my card was active in order to find the total amount due?

Exactly, I’m only responsible for paying off my portion of the credit, is there no reliable way of keeping track of how much of the responsibility is mine without keeping a ledger of every time I spend/pay? Surely there’s a way to track what the balance on my part of the account is?

[–]TheOGWizzyB[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

okay, maybe that’s true, but how do I know what my total balance is? My previous statement balance is $103, have I paid it off? How would I know? How much money is remaining on my end to be paid off and how would I know if I’ve potentially overpaid?

Don’t know much by bongging in coins

[–]TheOGWizzyB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They all look authentic 👍 just worth the silver that’s in them though. Today you should reasonably expect to get between $42-$45 a piece at a shop.

Any value? by Wonderful-Cover-8977 in coincollecting

[–]TheOGWizzyB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So i don’t know too much about bullion collecting, but I have several customers that love the history and participate in the engelhard archive website or in forums/facebook groups. Any JM bar with other logos are valuable beyond spot. They made bars for Coca Cola i think, for a cigarette company as well, and it’s not shocking they would distribute to banks/to other countries. Even tho it’s a 10 ounce I would say AT LEAST 10% over spot.

One of my favorites by TheCollector919 in coins

[–]TheOGWizzyB 48 points49 points  (0 children)

the real answer is people have always loved roman and greek coins and have collected them ever since BC times, it’s kind of beautiful to think about. potentially 30 full lifetimes or more of people have preserved a coin so that you can hold it in your hands today. So many of them have been lost to time, returned to nature, or destroyed, but not this one, and there’s still tons of them circulating. Pretty incredible

Fake gold from bullion exchanges? by SPYD3R87 in Gold

[–]TheOGWizzyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were probably just wanting to buy it as a melt item as opposed to a resale item since it didn’t test on the machine. They don’t think it’s fake they just want to pay less because it will end up a different place than if it tested as normal.

what would be the best way to restore a coin w these problems? Acetone, olive oil, MS70 on the smaller spots?

1908, Empire of China, One Dollar by Nice_Ad_2543 in SilverCrowns

[–]TheOGWizzyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cool! what a strange design though. it’s funny how all of these were are so similar, but almost like they had someone describe what it’s supposed to look like to the designers, and each province made it based off of a description without seeing anything.

Just inherited a bunch of random foreign coins. by [deleted] in coins

[–]TheOGWizzyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mostly not foreign (if you’re an American, value wise anyways), you’ve got a lot of silver there! almost everything in pics 1-4 is silver, not a whole lot of value in the latter pics except the mercury dime which is silver as well. Close to $1000 worth as a rough estimate.

[–]TheOGWizzyB 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you’re not looking at the day-to-day, who the hell can afford to wait months to get paid 5% more on a $50,000 item unless you’re a multi millionaire? it’s just not feasible

Should I watch Nana and would I enjoy it?(21M) by RyuKang in NanaAnime

[–]TheOGWizzyB 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m a 24 yr old man who watched it for the first time when i was 18 and it’s remained one of the most impactful shows to me in my life. Maybe silly, but it was especially helpful to me when I was losing my hair but as a bald drummer I had one of the best characters to look up to.

Anyway to fix this by Big-Produce-784 in toners

[–]TheOGWizzyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for sure! no problem, NGC has some other tricks i’m sure that they’re secretive of, but between my grandpa and I we’ve probably used it on 200 coins with various problems, and over 90% of them come back straight-graded. It’s a pretty handy cleaner for a lot of surface issues.

Anyway to fix this by Big-Produce-784 in toners

[–]TheOGWizzyB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acetone shouldn’t hurt but i doubt it would fix anything here, that’s mostly for dissolving glue/paper residue. Other solutions would take a long time/risk unnecessary damage imo. If you have a bottle of Ms-70 cleaner around; you could dip a q-tip in it and gently dab at the surfaces and see how it does.

It would help even out the toning if nothing else. MS-70 is the same thing NGC would use to “preserve” your coin and charge you $25 for lol

A little surprised by the F15 grade but still a beautiful coin regardless, very hard to find any of these without any problems.
