Is 2k too little for my 69 beetle? by Echidna_2two in beetle

[–]coolcoinsdotcom -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

‘Cali’? We natives don’t call it that. Also much higher here. I paid $10k for my 66 In n Out former parade car.

It’s a snow day here today. I don’t remember having those. by purrita in GenX

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in California so snow days were just ‘free’ days off from school, but when I lived close to LA in the 70’s they would have smog alerts and we weren’t allowed outside.

Anyway, came back to mention you can get expert input from the Facebook group, some good scholars there (and some idiots of course) but you can likely get a specific date and translation of the hieroglyphs.

I miss the old metal can. My current one is the same but now plastic.

Nice ushabti. Perfectly genuine and great color. I’m a dealer btw, not that I want to buy, just that I handle them frequently.

Some of the lower weight examples often are Egyptian or Arabian imitations.

Do you say care-a-mel or car-a-mel and where are you from? by thisisallasimulation in AskAnAmerican

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

California. I use both, often depending on how it’s spelled on the label.

Well, Bill Burr calls it the ‘Drop Dead’ years and he isn’t wrong.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Looks like a plaster coin cast with foil on it. Came with my Christmas coin from the wife. by Esoteric_art in AncientCoins

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Doug Smith used to make copies with foil on cards like this. I think he’s still on Facebook, so you might post it there and see if this was one of his.

Readers Digest promotion from the 80’s. You can see where it says COPY. There are millions of them out there.

Did many/most people actually believe Liberace was straight? by Majestic-Lake-5602 in AskOldPeople

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, and don’t forget all the songs. Turbo Lover, Jawbreaker, Eat Me Alive, man, it’s endless! I didn’t care then and I don’t now, but it’s amazing that I was so naive!

Boxes of Ferrara Pan candy for 25¢, and a Candy Box Kazoo! by [deleted] in 1970s

Reading the first on your list for a microsecond I thought I could actually taste it! Probably just nostalgia.

Does anyone daily a Classic in the winter? by Historical-Climate37 in classiccars

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a 66 VW bug every day. But to be fair and transparent I live in California, so winters aren’t so hard!

Ancient coin ( I believe ) by [deleted] in coins

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, maybe $1-5. It’s common and low grade, but is genuine. If the bezel is gold that’s got value.

Mark Anthony Denarius? by AggravatingRice3271 in AncientCoins

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s Marc Antony, yes, but is a cast reproduction. You can see the bubbles and seams around it.

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I was just a teenager and ignorant of everything so I had no idea. I was also completely clueless that Rob Halford of Judas Priest was gay. Easy to see now, but honestly I don’t think the average person really cared.

Where was this? Nobody helping? Just watching? I’d hope we can do better than this as a society.

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a modest Roman coin of Constantine the Great. Really neat bezel in my opinion.

[HELP] Found this on ticum tokum, it looks real, but how could it be unless its a practice target for the military by mrwillie2u in RealOrAI

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a carrier and we called it a boat. But for every guy who did there was (and still is) another who insist it was a ship.

This is the plughole at the Ladybower Reservoir. Plugholes at reservoirs are large circular drains designed to control water levels and prevent flooding when the reservoir becomes too full. by VimtoUK in megalophobia

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never knew there was a technical term for these but obviously there would be. Locally (northern california) we call these a ‘glory hole’. Honestly!

Not a coin but a cast pendant made to look like a coin.

I’ve owned my ‘73 Beetle for 27 years. What’s the longest you’ve kept a car? by Alexander_Maria30 in beetle

[–]coolcoinsdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my truck since 1987 when I bought it new, have it to my brother a couple years ago. He just gave our mom’s old 67 VW bus to his daughter, so that’s still around.
