I just spent a week with my 94 year old grandma who is dying. She tells me there's a lock box that she brought home when her mom died (about 20 years ago at 98) that she had never looked inside because she doesn't have the key. So I found the box and gave it a little shake. I could tell that there were coins and documents inside. I got pretty excited thinking what could be inside, and I cracked it open. everyone gathered around to see what was inside.

feast your eyes 😂😂😂

Coin Damage The VERY LAST penny

Post image
9.4k Upvotes

This is the very last cent and it's being sold on Stacks with the set of dies. Graded MS64RD... You can tell its the last one because the mint director pinched it between his fingers like a 3 yr old child. Current bid is $260,000 with 5 days to go. Is he a moron or did he know exactly what he was doing by putting his fingerprint on a piece of history to be saved for the rest of time? I vote moron.

I was gifted this solid gold coin to celebrate my birth in the 90s, from King Hussein I and Noor Al Hussein of Jordan. Couldn’t find much about it online and thought others might find interesting!

It was in a small wooden box that said “US silver and foreign Change(variety)” and we were not able to see what was in the box until purchased. At this price it feels so wrong but I got such a good deal! I am DREAMING I SWEAR!!! If anyone knows anything about the foreign change and if there is value I would really appreciate it.

Can’t find another one of these online for the life of me. It doesn’t feel like gold but it says “1714” on it so would be cool to know a little more about it. Any opinions welcomed, thank you

[Congrats!] I can’t spend it and I seriously doubt PCGS will give it a grade, but I completed Chemo today and got the best coin I’ve ever added to my collection.

So, I work at a Subway. I get into work this morning and as I’m counting the cash drawer I see a 2024 1oz Flying Eagle. That made me pretty excited. Then I go to count the cash box in the back. I open it and, WHAT THE HECK!? Behold, 14 more. I texted my manager and she let me get them for face value. $15. So I am now the proud owner of 15 ounces of silver. Guessing someone cluelessly spent them.

I still can‘t quite believe it.

Value Request A gift from my grandparents ~15 years ago. Is it junk?

Thumbnail

As the title says, these were a gift from my grandparents about 15 years ago. I can’t remember the exact year. As soon as I opened it, I assumed they probably overpaid for it and it was nothing more than novelty. A couple years before my grandma passed, she would throw money at almost every infomercial on TV. I’m sure this was one of those silly coin collector commercials. I did keep it though, as I know my grandparents meant well. Was I wrong? Is there much value to these? Thanks in advance for sharing your coin knowledge!
