I really like your displays! I posted a post on MNB asking others if they display their coins or even tell their friends they collect coins. I do not simply out of fear of being robbed. I’d actually like to start a coin club with kids where I live but I’m afraid of folks learning I collect. What is your take about displaying coins and/or sharing with friends/relatives that you collect. Thx in advance.

Welcome VinnieC!!! Very nice to have you onboard! I like your posts and enthusiasm about coins. You add a great deal of dialog so I’m looking forward to reading your posts. Again, welcome Aboard!!

Rick,

Mr. Bam! Bam! is now our “Special Award Designation” for anyone that brings us the next Rock Star Coin. That V75 AGE is truly a genuine Rock Star.

Cheers

“Mr. Bam! Bam!”

That nickname is reserved for Cag!
Of which I offered an Olive Branch for him to grab & stop on by…

It won’t take long for us to miss him…

Wow!

Big money for those V75 AGEs. A mintage of 1,945.

That may show up in the next “100 Greatest U.S. Modern Coins.”

Mr. Bam! Bam!

Great Score Rick!

Cheers

VinnieC in the House!

Cheers

It’s great to see you here VinnieC !!

You may have been curious about this one as well.. posted below…

It has had only 2 owners. The first owner never laying eyes on it. Me? Yes I’ve seen it, and on Monday It will be seen again within it’s new little comfy holder…

Back to Baked Beans with Bacon!…Just not anytime soon as it stands, Maybe later…..

E1,
Great info on camera data. Thanks. I’m not too worried , but you never know, and I’ll be checking into things a little more closely..If someone comes lurking around my home? They need to be aware of the “Make My Day” Laws…

VinnieC chimed in on the photo issue as well @ MNB. I can appreciate everything you & he talk about(well, everyone)…We need to get him over here, he always seems to have something worthy of reading(unlike me now & again!)…

I love your Coins. So far I’m totally satisfied with your coin collecting interests, storage, and reference materials that you share with everyone!. It’s too bad I was away from it for the better part of 2014–’20, my loss, but my gain now I suppose?.. Don’t hesitate to further share, I will too..

Ebay, and other Auction firms..It is a must for me to verify a cert# & look at the coin from another viewpoint/perspective..
For example this one below remember? When we had trouble fully identifying spots, holder abrasions & scratches, and both..
Once in my possession the mystery was solved. The holder was bad, the coin was good, except for that distracting spot..

BTW it has been Restored(fri) for that main trouble ‘spot’ between the ‘T’ and the ‘Y’ near the rim. It is in the process of a Re-Grade/Re-Holder with the same Labels(as you recommended) on Mon. Wish me luck!
