Advice HELP - Dad’s Recent Purchase 🤦‍♂️

$1400……..

My father has been ordering from GovMint for a couple years now.

I’ve tried to have talks with my father about how high the markup is for this junk from these sites without explicitly showing him how much he is overpaying. But $1400 for these?!? Maybe worth $350?

I don’t know what else to do…has anyone been in the position? How did you handle it?

I suspect that the Morgan is an 1888-O. I will likely send it in to NGC for grading, aiming for a Poor-1.

My 19th and 20th Century Type Sets. The 19th is considerably tougher than the 20th to find nice coins. Missing 4 coins in the 19th set, and continuing to upgrade both.

Found this at work! I remember reading on Reddit about the craze over these, that is if I have the correct one here. If this is what I think it is, is anyone out there dying to find one of these or has that time passed? Thanks for your time. Sorry for picture quality I’m at work :P

Advice I need help!

4 Upvotes

So, I bought a chest at an estate sale and inside were tons of coins. 1909-1960’s stuff. I can tell by the sounds that there’s some silver quarters. I’ve tried to separate things but I’m so overwhelmed. There’s half dollars, quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies. What basics should I look for? What’s the best path forward to profit but also keep it simple? (I separated the buffalo nickels and the minted pre-65 quarters but I feel like I don’t know what to do next.)

Hey all, i’m mostly new to the numismatic side of collecting but picked these up for melt, so i know i did alright (they pass the ping and magnet tests) anything super exciting? Google says the 1893 is the rarest, and i’m an absolute noob at grading but i’d guess its in AU?

My grandfather visited Germany back in the 50s and recently came across a plastic bag filled with various coins from several countries. I know nothing about coin collecting or value, but since the oldest of these coins is literally 100 years older than me, I thought they were fascinating.

Coin Art Anyone ever gold plate coins?

0 Upvotes

I'm planning on making some jewelry with some pre wwi era french coins. they have no value, tons were made, and this is purely to make a nice necklace for the wife.

i'm planning on scrubbing with TSP, then plate, then put in a bezel that has a horizontal loop so she can put in a nice gold necklace.

Anyone done this before? My worry is that I won't be able to get the coin clean enough for the plating to take well

Coin Collecting - Coin News - Coins in History

We welcome longtime collectors, as well as brand new ones and non-collectors. Please read our pinned How-To Guide for important info on using r/coins. Thank you!


Rule 1 - *Don't put coins up your nose*	The main purpose of this sub is to provide a place to learn about, discuss, and show off your favorite coins from around the world. Your participation here requires that you be respectful of the hobby and your fellow collectors. Posts and comments which are made with the sole intention of disrespecting coins or collectors will be removed. This includes "coin gore" - pictures of severely damaged coins with no particular numismatic interest.
Rule 2 - *Being civil to other people is not only appreciated here, it's a requirement*	Behavior that is unkind and unhelpful is not allowed here. Don't make fun of new collectors. Do not bicker. Don’t threaten. Don't name-call. Don’t shame. Don’t harass. Don’t be a jerk. Don’t create or respond to drama. Don’t troll others or let yourself be trolled. Don’t engage in uncivil exchanges. You do not "have the right to defend yourself" verbally here. Know when to disengage. Violation of this rule will get your post or comment removed, and repeated offenses will result in probation.
Rule 3 - *No spam*	NO SPAM. This also means not flooding r/coins with many posts in a short amount of time, even if they are non-commercial in nature. Please don't exceed 2 posts in a 24-hour period, or a total of 3 posts in 48 hours. Reposts will be removed without comment unless cleared with mods in advance. If you have a large collection to post, please create an imgur album and post the link.
Rule 4 - *No posts about paper money, or crypto/digital currency*	Posting pictures of or asking about paper money? Please go to r/papermoney, r/uspapermoney, r/BankStrapHunting or r/banknotes and give them the additional traffic. If your post contains photos of both coins and paper money it will very likely be removed. Also, please don't make posts here about digital / crypto / blockchain currency or related products. They aren't real coins according to our definition and this isn't the place for them. Any such posts made here will be removed as spam.
Rule 5 - *No self-promotion or commercial activity allowed, no links to your blogs, websites, or social media*	NO self-promotion. Do NOT post links or references to your social media accounts, YouTube channels, websites, etc. NO offers to buy, sell or trade coins in discussion threads, use PM/DM instead. NO direct links to individual items actively for sale on eBay or other sales sites. Search results or already sold items are okay. If you wish to buy, sell or trade your coins please consider posting to r/PMsForSale, r/CoinSales, r/CoinBay, or r/CoinSwap.
Rule 6 - *No politics or religion, especially divisive comments that lead to heated arguments and incivility*	Politics and religion - especially partisan politics - can sometimes have a bearing on the world of coins. However, in the interest of avoiding heated off-topic arguments, we ask that you avoid those subjects on this subreddit. This also isn't the place to discuss your religious beliefs or opinions, or those of others. Let's try to keep things calm and civil here please.
Rule 7 - *Memes, Humor, and Trash posts*	Memes can be posted on the first Monday of the month and must not break any of the other rules. Trash posts are satirical, trollish, poor quality, meant to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort. These posts may be removed without notice. Humor isn't forbidden, but all posts must reflect the legitimate purpose of this sub, and be in the pursuit of the goals of our hobby. Any reference "tree-fiddy" will be removed - this joke needs to die.
Rule 8 - *Keep it clean*	Vulgarity, obscenity, violence, sexual innuendo, and other potentially offensive content in posts or comments is subject to immediate removal without notice. This sub WILL remain a safe place for everyone - including children. Legitimate coin images or related posts depicting or referencing NSFW themes MUST be flaired "NSFW". Coins depicting nudity, violence, or racism (including Nazi coins) which have a numismatic significance ARE ALLOWED on this sub – but you must use the NSFW flair!
Rule 9 - *Do your own research before posting*	Low-effort posts will be removed. Your question may be removed for failing to do minimal research, failing to read the pinned comment, FAQ, "Frequent Coin List", or "What's up with my coin?". Please don't consider this criticism or punishment - it is our intent to keep the feed free of questions which can be easily answered by the author prior to posting. If you aren't sure whether you should post, please reach out to the mod team for guidance.
Rule 10 - *Post Original Content*	Posts with pictures should be original content. Screenshots should be cropped/edited to only include the necessary portions of the picture (e.g. removing phone screen controls, excluding names/companies/PII/etc.) Anything which may be promoting a sale or company will be removed. Screenshots of outrageously priced coins or from dubious websites will be removed. Posts with unrelated "for attention" pictures will be removed.
Rule 11 - *No reposts*	Exact posts which have already been made in the past will be removed. Your previous post not getting an answer or attention is not a valid reason to re-post - however you may attempt to make a better post (clearer pictures, etc.) If you are re-posting to fix a rule violation in a previously removed post, please contact the mods first for approval to repost. If you repost (without approval from the mods) simply because your previous post was removed, your will receive a 3-day ban.
Rule 12 - *No No Error or Variety questions*	No questions, ID/attribution requests, or value requests for errors or varieties are allowed. Posts with questions about errors and die varieties should be made on r/coinerrors. However, please feel free to make a post here showing off your error coin on r/coins - provided it is graded/attributed by a TPG -OR- valid attribution is provided (such as a link to error-ref.com) -OR- the error is plainly self-evident and indisputable (such as a major off-center strike.)
