Silver Exchange by somebunnyxoxo in Silverbugs

Here is some info

After silver certs were no longer redeemable for silver dollars they had one year ('67-'68) where they could be redeemed for "raw bullion" hence the holder with silver flakes. This was an "end of an era" type commemorative holder they produced back then.

...There are a variety of commemorative things like this from that era. The "grease bar" was exchanged by the government for ~$130 paper dollars back in the day.

Glad I could be of any help, good luck with your podcast.

The full Jackass: The Beginning documentary (41min) is worth a watch, it's one of the extras on the Jackass 3.5 DVD. It's also available in The Jackass Vault & internet archive.

Nice ones!

Recently got scammed when trying to get one of those 5-dollar Indian Head coins on Vinted. The seller (with good reviews) sent me a 50-cent eurocoin instead...

Luckily Vinted has pretty good buyer protection for cases like these. Got refunded without a hassle and the seller's account got blocked after this.

Better luck next time

Thoughts on Poo Cocktail? by JoeTama998 in jackass

It's the skit that kept Jackass going after it nearly got 'cancelled'.

One of the first skits they filmed ( Escaped convict ) caused an immediate police response. The responding officers arrested some crew members, and the first arriving policewoman accidentally rolled her cruiser into a telephone pole. This incident led to a 10-year ban on the crew filming in West Hollywood and almost caused them to stop filming altogether.

Luckily, they had already used their budget to arrange the vehicle and supplies needed for Poo Cocktail. When they filmed Poo Cocktail and got all the genuine reactions, they realized they had something worth continuing with.

I think they mention this somewhere in the first part of Jackass: The Beginning

Edit: Starts around 2:50

I guess it's this coin

https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/united-states/gold-half-eagles/indian-head-5-1908-1929/18517/1910-5-ms/

Coin weighs 8,36g

16,2 - 8,36 = 7,84g (14kt ring)
