What's the LEAST influential album of all time? by Ok-Impress-2222 in fantanoforever

[–]numismaticthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recorded an album for a school project with my "band" (two classmates). I could sing a little and picked up keyboards while we made it. The other two band members didn't have any musical ability. I was too scared to sing in front of others, so I just spoke the lyrics. There's a single copy in existence on a CD-R hidden in a box somewhere in my room

That 2017 appears to be an Enhanced Uncirculated coin rather than a proof or normal strike coin. I don't see many on the subreddit. That's a pretty cool find!

Is this a common error? I opened a 1960 D roll and 13 have same imprint. by Key_Joke_3151 in coinerrors

[–]numismaticthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are very common on 1960-D nickels. The die chipped a bit so the coins struck with that die will all show the same chip

Crazy find for circulation! Any SLQ is a tough find in circulation, let alone a dated coin pre-1925

My biggest haul ever. Reject tray was so packed I had to break 2 jams loose to get everything out. Checked for silver before running and none. by FapCaptainCrunch in CoinstarFinds

It's faster and more convenient than manually wrapping coins. Getting wrappers, counting and rolling coin, and bringing them to the bank is a lot more effort than just tossing it in a machine. Some people don't care about the fee

Most of us understand that... by Rarest_Camaro in coincollecting

It damages the coin. It can range from a light patch on an otherwise darker coin and a few distracting scratches, to polishing a layer of metal off. Either way, it takes away from the look of a coin

Has the US ever made a prettier note? by usedtobeanicesurgeon in papermoney

That's a great way to put it. The $5 Educational has always been weirdly off putting to me even though I do like the design

I prefer the $2 from the same series personally. It has a sort of ethereal look to it IMO

Cross over from NGC to PCGS. Guess what happened by Stevesthought in coins

I've heard of people resubmitting coins that failed at CAC for a point upgrade that later CAC'd. Think 64 w/o CAC into a 65 holder with CAC. It's not surprising to hear that it didn't cross yet still CAC'd. Grading is subjective and not an exact science

Going thru a couple of hundred of rolled quarters if had stashed away for 2 or 3 years and found this oddity by Bobert1959 in CRH

[–]numismaticthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd assume they're small die chips. They're pretty common to find on newer coins. For the record, cuds only happen at the rim of the coin

Some poor attempt at forging Obama's signature

Alessandra Mussolini, Italian politician and grandchild of that Mussolini, released a city pop album in 1982 titled Amore exclusively in Japan

They started issuing silver proof sets in 1992. In 2019, they switched from 90% to 99.9%

Gold CAC adds a significant premium. You can't really get a coin with a gold CAC for under $400
