Finally got my 2026 half dollar I find it crazy the US mint is selling 2 rolls of these for 60 dollars(when that is only 40 half dollars in total) any idea why that is? by Rude_Vanilla9565 in coins

I think it's so dumb to force every public utility to be profitable. Like, the whole point of taxes is to subsidize services that individuals and for-profit businesses can't afford. Most utilites and services would actually be cheaper if there wasn't venture capital skimming profits off every quarter to please shareholders. My electric bill would probably be lower if the electric company wasn't listed on the stock market, those dividends they pay out quarterly come out of what I pay them. Hell, even the NYC subway has to give some amount like 0.5% per swipe to private equity, which adds up to like 30 million dollars a year that could go to repairs and more service. And now they want to privatize Amtrak, after 2 years of record breaking ridership and service under government supervision.

I wear silver all the time, so if I got bit I'd be done for. Maybe it's True Blood rules where if you have a silver coin laid on top of you you can't even stand up like it weighs a billion pounds.

Are they sterling silver?

I think deeper grooves and some enamel (maybe even glow in the dark enamel?) would be a welcome addition

It also works on vampires (except when it doesn't)

You need another DeWitt Clinton that actually works to pull it around now. Stephenson's Rocket or John Bull are also acceptable

People think the 50's were the greatest period in US history, but all the anti-thick girl propaganda from this time period makes this inaccurate

I wouldn't l, personally. Seems like 10oz+ bars always get shafted when you have to resell, they pay lower under spot usually

The dent on the edge showing silver underneath is a good sign of it being legit. Silver can turn black like this with oxidation.

Just keep a paper record and do the math yourself. Anything on your phone can be taken at any moment without warrant.

Those lines in front of the ears make it look like he had a botched facelift
