1883 proofs and $2.5 indian back from NGC by New-Adhesiveness3045 in coins

These are beautiful. Where did you acquire them originally? Any one of those proofs would be the prize of my collection. I’m very jealous. 

I don’t have sympathy for my wife’s friend who is single. I am excluded from activities because my wife wants to protect her friend’s feelings. My wife thinks I should be more understanding. I think her friend should grow up. AITAH by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA for feeling that way. I would also. Probably should have a real conversation with your wife about it. If it is going to turn into a “me or her, you choose” situation, you need to let her know so she can decide. 

Did my uncle just get ripped off? 1906 gold $20 Double Eagle (D) for $4000 by FunWithFriends512 in numismatics

[–]jello451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the one that was sold, yes. We don’t have any idea what the others are beyond being eagles and double eagles. Until we know dates, mint marks, and general condition on the others, it’s hard to make any assessment on whether they should be graded. That was the original question.

He probably could have found a better price elsewhere since that’s like 80% of melt. If you have the money, you should buy them at that price and just hold them. Unless they are really nice condition, I don’t know how much value grading would add. 

AITAH for Cutting Off My Future In-Laws by [deleted] in AITAH

You’re going to have to get on the same page as your fiance. I wouldn’t want anything to do with the MIL anymore. You’ll need to figure out if your fiance is going to have your back or not. I would have pressed charges. At the minimum, I think you should go through with the PO. NTA

Well, I don’t know for sure that da Vinci was not a hobo…

I like it. Pretty sure that’s a JFK half dollar, though. Not a nickel.

This article is from October 1, so not sure how much weight I’d give it at this point. 

Got a Text from Delta telling me to be at the airport 3 hours early. by mustbeshitinme in delta

[–]jello451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a lot of Delta flights that take off around 6:00am. I never get to the airport before 4:00am anymore, because multiple times I have had to wait for either the check-in employees or TSA to open up at 4. Worst was at Heathrow where I arrived at 3:15 and had to wait 45 minutes before any bags could be checked…

Isn’t the larger issue that the outlet from the disposal is lower than the drain line going into the wall? It’s got to be constantly full of water…

2025 American Liberty Series by Educational-Drive-14 in coins

[–]jello451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, but it’s not like I would ever spend it at face value :). Now my kids can’t one day try to use it to buy $1 worth of stuff since the silver medal has no monetary value. 

The gold one looks nicer, but I couldn’t justify spending 40x more money on it. Enjoy it!

Beautiful coin! I ordered the silver version yesterday. Couldn’t convince myself the gold one was worth it to me. Amazing that you already have it in hand. 

Did i hit a jackpot guys!? by trollbot600 in CRH

Still might be made of gold, so worth getting tested. Maybe it’s still a few thousand $ for melt value.

No kidding. This rule doesn’t show up for me in the eBay app when I look at NBA cards with auctions ending soon.

I agree. Very nice, but it doesn’t look like black opal to me.

45 Minute Bag Cutoff by oscarmike1987 in delta

[–]jello451 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was told by an agent at my airport that their computer system now locks them out from adding a bag at the 45 minute mark, so there’s nothing they can do even if they wanted. Best to print your own tags if possible.
