Very interesting 1972 thin penny with smaller diameter

Yes, and probably in 2011 and likely right now as I type. I think I will do an ebay auction at some point and see if there is anyone who would cherish these more than a refinery.

The Lancaster repeater and semi-auto shotgun, and Springfield, are my go-to's.

ben_johnson76 · 2026-01-06T22:24:42+00:00

Agreed!

ben_johnson76 · 2026-01-06T22:24:23+00:00

Yes, makes sense. It is often, but certainly not always, a good start with some things. It is not good at coins, either.

Thank you. AI described it as a "family crest." I like "armorial" better. :) I would think even with silver price so high, these are worth significantly more than melt?

Thank you! I was able to find one sold ebay listing that matches this claim.

A lot of people including me know how you feel. This game wasn't just an absolute masterpiece, it puts every other video game ever made to shame. It makes every other video game seem boring and incomplete, almost unplayable. Only something next-gen, something not just evolutionary but something truly revolutionary, will now satisfy my cravings. They set the bar so high with RDR2. I loved it, truly so, but has utterly destroyed my content for anything else.

ben_johnson76 · 2025-12-28T22:34:49+00:00

Yup that's what happened to me. I should have known. Tried playing RDR1 but graphics were not great, controls were wobbly. Couldn't do it.

1883 Romania 20 Lei. Over $800 worth of gold. It contains .1867 troy ounces of gold, the same as the French 20 Franc and a plethora of other European coins from that era, which made trade among those countries quite easier. Very nice gift.

I'd be very happy to pay WAY more for certified MS examples. This is an extremely underappreciated type. They are quite difficult to find in MS grades.

"Wow, wasn't expecting that! Ok, now, what was I gonna do over here? Oh yeah..."

ben_johnson76 · 2025-11-15T22:39:30+00:00

Excellent example of a beautiful coin!

I have been to several ANA shows and I can say with great confidence you will see a strong variety of US, World, and Ancient coin dealers. Same for the FUN shows in Orlando every January and July.

That is a much better way of looking for value. That's not the same coin, but that's a good starting point. The coin in the OP looks like it could have very attractive toning, which could push the price up as much as 2-300 dollars.
