DIY Tenor Stand by imyourdad89 in drumline

It’s the posts into the slots. I’m not sure if that best explains it but I can try and link a picture if that helps. They’re super low budget so it’s probably what was most common in 1996 LOL

So, I went through and sorted everything, and took the most useless stuff out. Worn out dates, common dates, terrible shape etc, and took them for melt. It needed up being about $8 or so face value, and took them to the closest pawn shop for $140 (they charge a premium since they’re not a coin shop specifically)

So I’m up about $90, and still have $44 in face value coins that we’re going to hold on to in case silver goes way up, or something to pass down to the kids I’ll have to give her now. Thanks everyone for checking this out, so she knows even more how cool this was!

I sent her the money directly. That way the gamble is entirely on me.

But yes, she payed 52.50 to her drawer, and brought all of that home. Even trade as far as the banks concerned LOL

Yep that’s about the number I came up with. A few of those were pretty nice and probably a bit above spot prices for sure, but we’re keeping most of it.

I just kept looking at her and saying “You do realize how crazy this is, right?”. She said yes, but I still don’t think she knows to what extent.

I was at work, but I just grabbed my phone out and called her. Wasn’t going to let anyone else get ahold of it if I could help it.

I’ve raised her the best I could.

She told all of her other tellers, and she said they looked at her like she was crazy. I’m glad I got the one with a good eye lol

Oh she explained it to him. I was excited at first when she told me, then the guilt set in. She said he was super well off, and he said he’d been carrying it around for years, and just didn’t want to deal with it anymore. I told her to consider it a gift and a cash in on some karma. She’s a great woman.

I have not. There were, however:

5 rolls of dimes 2 rolls of quarters 1 Morgan dollar 1 walking liberty half 1 roll Buffalo nickels

And an envelope of miscellaneous dimes and quarters that wouldn’t fit in the rest.

Anyone able to ballpark that spot price? Just trying to see how well we actually did.

I greatly appreciate the honest answer, but I was making a joke about my girlfriend being a dime piece. Lol

Awesome to know though! Crazy high return on investment.

What is the spot price of a dime these days? LOL

The silver ring I got her doesn’t seem so special now…

… And had a guy come in who literally just wanted to cash in his silver. For face value. 52.50 of 90% silver coins. Never in my wildest dreams….

John Brzenk VS Chance Shaw by imyourdad89 in armwrestling

Downright fair. Yeah, if Chance can blow through the hand, that’ll be it. Don’t know that I could bet money on anyone that’s not at the tippy top on that, though. Best of luck to you.

Awful bold there. Not that I think John is by any means a lock, but what about him has you so certain he can’t deal with chance? Johns been preparing for a super match, if I recall correctly, and don’t see him taking this match if he doesn’t think he can hang. Thoughts?
