Santa dropped by today!
Some really cool stuff; silver war nickels, Kennedy's, some DDR's, brand new 2021D quarters and some confetti!
Thanks Santa! |

Hey all,
So, if I go through my collection's 2x2's I see a lot of silver coins marked with a year and 'CS' for Coinstar. I've noticed that since 2019 my finds have not just dropped a little, they've dropped precipitously. I have actually not found one silver coin in a Coinstar since 2019 and I check every time I go into several different locations. I live in the SF Bay Area, so coin-roll hunting for silver has always been a bit dry, but the Coinstar's were still paying out until 5 years ago.
What happened? |

About this time every year, the local news mentions that someone donated a rare gold coin to one of the Salvation Army's Bell Ringers' bucket. I think its admirable of people that can give-back to the less-fortunate. If I were financially able to, I would absolutely do something similar to one your scenarios.
That's the kind of thing that gives me hope for humanity |

Thinking about it NOW is the time for A Coinfrog answer as - "How stupid is this thread"
I would assume that if you believe a topic is beneath you to reply to you would do just that, ignore it. Instead, you have taken the time to not only bring a fellow CCF member down but also bring up your post count.
If you don't want to participate then don't. It would then be on me to recognize that my post wasn't well thought through and post more qualifying posts in the future. Replying like this does not encourage others to share or help us grow. |

Hey all,
Sometimes I wonder and pontificate on the idea of spending something like a $5 gold coin to buy a coffee. I play the idea out in my head and wonder what would happen. Would the cashier be intelligent and swap it out?  Would they have no idea what they're looking at and say they can't accept it?  Would they put it in the register for some other lucky individual to find?
Does anyone else ever think about this?

Hey all,
I know I promised new photos yesterday and I apologize for not posting them. I work 12.5 hour shifts over-night 3 or 4 days a week and when I get home I usually just pass out until I have to repeat the cycle. Please bear with me I will update asap |

This was a hasty blow up of an image I had on my phone, I'll see what I can do when I get off work here in a few minutes |

Hey all,
I found this going through my collection last night and wondered if I am correct in assuming it is a 1955 s/s/s?
Let me know your thoughts? The black marks on it are a bit frustrating but can't be helped. Apologies for the poor photos, I'll try and take some better ones and upload them tomorrow.

Hey all,
I recently acquired a PCGS sample slab. These are totally new to me. I read some people collect these but are they really worth anything? Alone the coin is only like 15$, but supposedly in this sample case it's worth more? Anyone have any insights into the history of this?
