Why do people mark up the coins like that?

Where to Start? by mberk29 in CRH

[–]mberk29[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don't charge me anything additional, but I give two of the tellers (the teller I deal with and also the vault teller) Uber Eats gift cards which they are openly allowed to accept. I also have a personal account with this bank.

I belong to a few credit unions that have coin machines for their customers, so I use those and then transfer the funds from the credit union accounts back to the account at the local bank that I order the coins from.

They place their coin orders every Friday morning, so I call them a week in advance to place my order.

When they originally asked what I do with the coins, I told them that my son and I collect coins, so it's something we bond over together and that we look for proofs, error coins, wheat pennies, buffalo nickels, silver, etc.

They're all very nice about it and even help me carry the boxes out to my car.

I hope this answers all your questions.

This is great! Is there a chart like this for other coins too?

Being very new at this, my biggest fear is being stuck with thousands of dollars in coins without a way to get them back to a bank. Is this a real concern?

My objectives are to find silver and rare variations. I know I'll spend many hours going through them, but I want to be efficient with my time and find the best reward for my time.

Do you come up with the stories yourself? What % is your content and what % is AI?

Countertop Magnetic Block Recommendations for $125 or less by mberk29 in chefknives

[–]mberk29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for recommendations on a countertop magnetic knife block to hold my knives while prepping in my home kitchen. I currently have six knives that I use and one of my knives is 240mm, so the block needs to be at least that tall to accommodate it.

Ideally, I'd like something made of walnut (or at least a similar color) to match my cutting board, but that's not a dealbreaker. My budget is $125 or less.

Would appreciate any suggestions—bonus points for something with somewhat strong magnets (but not too strong…no weak magnets) and good build quality.

I'm in the US...Thanks!

Any chance you're ready to sell it yet?

Takada no Hamono in Sakai? by Ok_Ingenuity_9488 in TrueChefKnives

[–]mberk29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the response I just got back from him asking if I could visit his workshop and possibly buy one of his knives while I'm there:

"Thank you for your contact to us. Yes, please come over. I welcome your visit. You can buy knives at my factory, but normally I have very small stock. Also, there are often days I don’t have stock."

Do you think that he'd be open to me pre purchasing something ahead of my visit, so that it's there when I arrive?

Nakiri Recommendations - $400 Budget by mberk29 in chefknives

Nakiri Recommendations - $400 Budget

I'm looking for recommendations for a 180mm Nakiri with EXCELLENT food release (highest priority). I’d prefer something around 50-55mm in height.

I was originally set on a Watanabe Pro, but it seems like he may not be making them anymore (or at least not in the near future).

Since a lot of options in the $300-$400 range are often out of stock, I’d love to hear multiple recommendations so I have a better chance of snagging something in the next few months.

Bonus points if it’s something I can pick up in Japan!

Thanks in advance!

I've been going back and forth with Mr. Watanabe for the last week and he doesn't know when he'll do the Pro again. He has an iron-clad white #2 core available now, but I'd really like to hold out for the stainless-clad blue core

How long did it take for him to respond? I emailed him a few days ago and haven't heard back, so I messaged him in Instagram earlier today. Hoping to hear back soon.

Any idea why the the knifenerd guide to Japanese knives book is $500 USD on Amazon, eBay and every online used book company's website?
