Welcome to the club. Don’t worry I assure you, You’ll live.

I don’t work for the mint but if I did! lol. I wish collecting used to be as fun as coin hunting! I think your family will appreciate your forward thinking. I don’t know why but I really never liked the thought of collecting ancient coins I do have a good mix of paper and a few coins from trips overseas but never really wanted to continue in that area, who knows maybe that will change. For now I continue a collection passed down as a fun hobby with memories I’ll never forget. Those 7 years will fly by before you know it, I wish you a long and happy retirement, when the time comes of course!

If a mouse farts at U.S. Mint headquarters in Washington D.C., does the Mint’s 10-year out-of-date computers & website crash?? Lol.
(I’m a professional numismatist & a U.S. Mint customer since 1976, & 7 long years away from full retirement!). My four nephews will inherit a small fortune of old “classic” coins, including ancients & modern coins from world Mint’s, plus tokens, medals & paper money, an eclectic mix for sure.

And CB (notcornbread) mileage may be running on old oil + smug from the fact the greatest generation actually brought us the neediest population… Much thanks CB. Teach your loins properly, kids, dont be gone with the wind like an old fart. #collect and preach collecting

In spirit of the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower and the 399 anniversary of Thanksgiving I would like to thank people like SR who continue to advocate for true hobbyists. I would nominate him for any excess V75 gold coins on a pro rated basses, speculated by one in a million ebayers #notNebayer. And I nominate C B, the old sausage to cry me a river. P.S. I bought doubles of the Mayflower anniversary set (today yes today) to spite the flippers. Thank you sheep with CC debt or returners with cry me a river stories. I collect and, I thank you.

MCM in Sarasota, Florida has a dedicated backdoor entrance to NGC headquarters in Sarasota. Such a sham!
NGC is a privately held corporation & they are not impartial in their second-rate coin grading.

MCM coin and NGC in Sarasota Fl will soon have a lot more ILLEGALS working there with S J Biden’s new open borders!!!!

I would never send any coin out for grading. Grading is a joke, but hey they may advertise a bit more to drum up business, good for them. I think grading should be a simple genuine or not genuine, no plastic. They would have repeat customers with that business model and the flippers could be even more like sheep

C’mon man, look. I collect. I have no intention of selling my hobby away. If I can time a purchase right, great, if not, great, wasnt meant to be. I certainly wont be spinning in my grave over previous purchases or missed purchases or what misguided generations do after my death. I wont care if I’m dead. If you sell, good for you, if you collect, good for you.
