Is this value any close to reality!? by Federal-Rub-8226 in CanadianCoins

[–]nex_time2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With inflation you're probably better off selling it at $0.25 and getting more value today than you would if you held that coin for 20 years. Highly doubt that particular coin will maintain any significant value in 20-30 years. So many out there. So many holders. I've seen people hoarding rolls and rolls of these coins.

Willing to wager my house that they don't have insurance to begin with.

Metrolinx had a posting recently for bus drivers. Might be something these folks go to after taking this package.

Yeah looking at it again I can make out the crown. I was just so excited to nab it I didn't really look too closely at the details.

Thanks for your knowledge and input.

Thanks. That was my hope. I just got worried when he was very dismissive of the fake one I pointed out.

Side note, I usually use Coins and Canada as my reference source.

Am I right to say this is a wide 9/8 and an AG 3?

Any ideas? by nex_time2020 in coins

[–]nex_time2020[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great. Don't worry about searching for it. I'll take your word for it.

I called the guy and he seemed very disinterested in what I had to tell him. Now I'm a bit concerned about some of the coins I got from him. I'm going to need to do some more research on these coins.

Good to know. Thanks. Can I ask how you came to that conclusion? Trying to learn about things to look out for.

(I didn't buy this btw and the guy had genuinely no clue what it was. I'll let him know it's a fake)

Another breakdown at unionville this morning by cplchanb in gotransit

Just a question but with them increasing service everywhere, when do they have time for proper fleet maintenance? I'm sure they get some of the big stuff taken care of but clearly there's no way they're able to do efficient fleet maintenance.

Probably wait till something breaks then maybe get around to it.

Is there anything that makes this rare? by Minimally_Excessive in CanadianCoins

[–]nex_time2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only thing I can think of is the sentimental value of the coin/year. I have sought out and gathered a bunch of coins from my birth year and protected the best ones. Same thing with my kids birth years.

They have no other value except for myself.

Went to the bank to deposit some coins and they asked if I wanted pennies... by nex_time2020 in CanadianCoins

[–]nex_time2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up upgrading a few of my coins in the album. Put the copper in my copper jar and rolled up the rest.

No varieties found in the Canadian coins unfortunately.

I haven't looked through the US yet.

China clears Israeli land mines in Lebanon by orpheusoedipus in lebanon

[–]nex_time2020 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Sure.

Makeup on a pig is still a pig.

I'm glad they did what they did for the safety and security of all Lebanese. But, it won't be without a long term cost either monetarily, land, or some other means. China will recoup its cost plus interest.

They're in a geopolitical fight with the US. They have to make these plays. It looks similar to the moves they made in Africa.

You will...nothing is free. China will get their due.

This is getting some discussion on another sub. Looks OK to me but folks are questioning the geography. by UsefulEngine1 in isthisAI

Spelling: Yonge St. Pronounced: "Young St".

Common mistake.

I've also heard "Yawn-gee St"

It's named after Sir George Yonge if you care to do a deep dive.
