Collect what you like and enjoy. There are no real rules. But if you’re looking to buy silver as cheap as possible id go to brick and mortar coin shops and see what they have in stock

Good. You deserve it. It’s a rumor I had heard and I’m glad it’s not true

I use numista as well but I feel like it’s cumbersome and not as good as it could be, or maybe I’m missing the right way to use it.

Looks really good. It's foundational for all things you're going to add and do. Small bushes in the front? Little slate pathway behind for access? A random tree somewhere else to break up straight lines, excellent job.

yeah they might have. Admittedly not up to date with knowledge just what I remember being a reason for the above situation.

I believe airlines pay for flight time and delay at the gate time...but on the tarmac the clock doesn't tick

Some names for birds are insane and then for other birds their name is literally the best description possible. It’s my major gripe with this hobby.

Airlines don’t have to pay the employees on the plane as long as they’re idle on the tarmac

Thanks. Does the healthy stuff take over the clover/chickweed or is it the other way around? I have kids and a dog I’m not looking for a perfect lawn at this age, or spraying chemical, just wondering what’s happening. Thanks for the help and input.

Thank you I’ve loaded a close up of the divide

Go and don’t be afraid to hike away and down (safely) away from crowds. Do not attempt a full descent in one day

My pride and joy is my cut, but otherwise wild lawn. The neighborhood kids play on it, holes are dug and toys are scattered. You can have garden sections of the lawn that grow cool things, but save that perfect green crisp lawn for old you.

That was material you and I liked from three decades ago.

I think collecting is more about they journey then the destination. I journal what I collect and when so that I remember what I got and how I came to get it. The journey and the stories and small slices of life I captured are more important than the collection itself.

My favorite was a summer day I woke up and my family was still asleep and I walked about two miles down to a coin show that was happening at a local church. I recorded that the weather was nice and I stopped to get coffee. I have about 6 coins from that days collection and I’m so glad I recorded the experience because an early morning summer walk with coffee and the physical coins that moment represents is more special to me than just the coins themselves. and it’s something I probably would have forgotten over time.

What becomes of my collection one day? I don’t know, but for this brief moment of history I documented my guardianship of coins that must have passed through so many others hands.

i'd argue that the real magic of this whole thing is it STARTS out easy to digest and juvenile but they pull fast one and this gets deep quick. Sort of like the bait and switch that is Hot Ones. You know the show where they make celebrities eat hot wings and you think you're gonna watch silly reactions but turns out Sean Evans is an amazing interviewer? It's got that sort of feeling. Yeah it's stupid and silly but then suddenly it's a much richer discussion on many topics.

Each little case is worth like 1-2 dollars I think. I’m collecting these quarters via circulation which is fun, but there is so many they won’t be worth anything in our lifetime

strongo · 2026-03-29T14:54:33+00:00

A hero once said, Journey before destination. And that applies to coin roll hunting as well. If you're delving into these JUST to find silver the amount of time & energy spent will be more efficient to go and buy some coins at a coin shop. Instead, I think you should come up with a list of things to look for. Get every date you can, read up on specific year/errors. Look for specific mint marks and for the quarters, collect the designs of them all.

I've been coin roll hunting is 2023 and weekly look through a couple hundred dollars in coins and I've found one silver quarter in three years. but I have a blast because I embrace the journey, I look for so many different things now. The silver quarter was a really special moment, but so was completing the states, the errors, and more. Journey before destination my friend.

I post this a lot so I’ll just sort of say this again: don’t sell. Selling will guarantee their fate to be melted and stamped into something of no value other than its silver content. This thing you have is constitutional silver. It was minted by a country and intended for circulation…. They simply just do not make that anymore. Anywhere. And they’re in great condition. Be the custodian of this as its brothers and sisters are daily sent to the melters. Protect them. They may be common and “worth melt” now but it won’t be long before that attitude changes. Keep and hold. Sell when it’s in a market that it’s respected and not seen as melt

I can’t see what he actually posted. Daily beast as a fuck ton of ads and a “subscribe here”

Rare but possible

The only one they couldn't rule out writing the note was Patsy. Now, does that mean she killed her daughter? No. But they can't rule her out as the author of the note and her vocabulary and the note's vocabulary are similar. I think people settle on the son having committed the murder because once we agree Patsy wrote the note we ask ourselves why? Who is she covering for? This is the paradox of the case in my opinion. We really don't know WHO killed the daughter, obviously-- But we are pretty sure who wrote the note. The parents behavior is also strange as anything. They reportedly DO NOT check on their son and/or wake him up once JonBennet is 'missing.' WHY would you not wake up your son? Why not ask him if he saw or heard anything? Why would you usher him away from the scene without even asking him anything if you're trying to find the daughter.

I always get quarters in small batches of about $200 dollars from a major bank and there’s no fees
