Is this legal?
## Speaker_1: ##
It is no longer legal tender, but yes it is legal!
## Speaker_2: ##
What the commenter is referring to is the legality of the destruction of U.S currency. Under 18 USC 333, rendering currency unusable is punishable by fine or up to 6 months in prison. In practice, there are no (that I know of) cases of this law being enforced in the US. See pressed pennies for an example of mass destruction of currency that has never and will never be prosecuted. Make your art, and please for the love of God look at every coin with a loupe before drilling into it :D
## dogbot: ##
This. The only coins really protected by law are pennies and nickels under 31 CFR part 82 and even then, they are only protected form complete destruction for the sale of their metal content. Stuff like this is entirely fine. It just sucks sometimes as some people do this to coins with more than face value and it hurts.

Awesome coins! From boths prospectives, stacker and collector, you did good. The price you paid for your metal was probably lower when you got it and now you used it to get something you wanted. Mission accomplished.

It absolutely was! I paid $14/ozt on the silver, and the gold was bought back in 2015… not sure the price but I know it was lower than today. Thanks!

Looks like a jewelry piece made for decoration, probably by a machine engraver. It's not a real coin per se. It MIGHT be worth checking out to see if its actually gold, but i doubt it.

Mostly just to distinguish them from standard circulation coins. I believe the standard €1 and €2 (as well as the minors) have legal requirements as to the composition and one side of the design. All other denominations are up to the government issuing the coins. Lithuania issued a €1.5 and a €5 set for the [Sea Festival](https://numismag.com/en/2021/07/13/2021-lithuanian-e1-5-coin-sea-festival/) in 2021.
## dogbot: ##
Exactly. The European countries having a common currency, they also agreed on common standards for their coins to make them freely usable throughout the countries. So no country can make €1 or €2 coins that do not follow this standard. €5 would have been possible, but Philharmonics have long been issued in gold, too, and €10 is the 1/10 oz of gold. So they might have thought that €5 for an oz of silver was too much.

Yup, its a 1931 Austrian 25 schilling gold coin. ~5.3g of pure gold.

Awesome ill keep it safe. Do you know if the gold quarter is just plated?

Yeah the quarter is gold plated. Common novelty, not really worth anything.

## Speaker_0: ##
I dont think it's gonna be worth anywhere near 500 dollars
## Speaker_1: ##
well its what my dad said i am not no pro
but rainbow tinted coins are crazy rare especially since they have been in circulation for over 100 years now not to mention its not only a 1909 its a 1909 vdb. but on top of that most wheat pennies before 1940s (aka world war 2) most copper pennies in circulation where used for bullets in ww2 therefore making it even more rare. and i meant i would be worth 500 after being graded
Ps. this is just what i know
## dogbot: ##
*"but on top of that most wheat pennies before 1940s (aka world war 2) most copper pennies in circulation where used for bullets in ww2 therefore making it even more rare. "* I think you have your WW2 penny history a little (a lot) confused.
## Speaker_1: ##
basically im saying that coins before ww2 where taken out of curculation for bullets thats why theres less of them which makes any coin before ww2 a lot more rare
## Speaker_2: ##
Copper was removed from the mint in 1943 for the war effort, hence 1943 pennies are steel. But the years prior to, and proceeding 1943 are 95% copper. Up until ‘82, when it became copper-plated zinc. Pennies before 1943 were not destroyed, at least not as far as I know, for the war effort. You can still find plenty of Indian Heads, and pre ‘43 Lincolns at coin stores and yard sales. My biggest hook up for Indian Head pennies and Buffalo nickels is a dude who just sets up a stand outside a livestock auction house and catfish restaurant every week… so they’re in plentiful supply. Key dates, of course, are the higher-priced pieces, but there is still a huge number of ‘regular’ (for want of a better description) pre-‘43 pennies out there.
## dogbot: ##
Cents were not melted down for bullets. Wheat-penny has definitely confused world war 2 penny history. Here is another brief synopsis: http://www.nww2m.com/tag/copper/#:~:text=Due%20to%20wartime%20demand%20for,to%20problems%20with%20its%20composition.

Not sure if it is an error ( I was thinking a zinc only coin) or maybe a high school science experiment with plating. It kind of feels a little lighter but that may be my imagination.
What do you guys think?
## dogbot: ##
I would guess some kind of high school experiment. Keep in mind that pennies since 1982 are 97.5% zinc. It is likely that someone subjected it to a chemical that stripped off the copper.

This comment section is a puntastic read
And yes, they are rather shitty fakes
They look just like other crap coins
## Speaker_1: ##
Wrong, the only thing that these have in common with fakes is the average grade and toning style.
These are anything but crude as they are stamped and have a lack of casting pores. They look like heavily toned coins that were roughly cleaned.
When held you could immediately tell but there is a chance they are real.

I love the St Benedict medal. This is probably more info than you want, so feel free to ignore this.
The words in Latin on a Benedictine medal are Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur' meaning May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death.
Usually on the medal you will find the letters 'C S S M L' and 'N D S M D' which are the initials of the Latin prayer that says Crux sacra sit mihi lux. Nunquam Draco sit mihi dux. which translates to May the holy cross be my light, may the dragon never be my guide.
Above the cross you will see the word Pax meaning peace.
Surrounding these you usually find the letters 'S M Q L I V B' and 'V R S N S M V' which translates to the Latin Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana. Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas. meaning Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself.

Medal of Louis XIV titled “Nec Pluribus Impar”

Bronze
24.45 g, 12:00, 41.0 mm
## dogbot: ##
Is there any way I can find out more about its history?
## Speaker_0: ##
That is about all I could find. Assuming it is original then it was made as a presentation piece during the reign of King Louis 14th of France (XIIII was used more back then over the proper XIV).
"Nec pluribus impar" is Latin for "Not unequal to many". Louis was known as the Sun King and that is his symbol on that same side.
The other side has Louis himself with the Latin for Louis 14th Most Catholic King/Majesty. Louis was very Catholic, including basically running the Catholic Church in France, and persecuted Protestants in France during his reign.
Look on the edge. If it has any markings on the edge then it is a restrike. Originals were smooth edged and it was not until the 1800's that they started putting things on the edges.
## dogbot: ##
It says “bronze” on the side? Does that means it’s a restrike?
## Speaker_0: ##
Yes. But it may still have more value than you would think. I have seen restrikes of similar selling for ~$80. It does take a while to sell them usually though as the collector base is smaller than say French coins of the same timeframe.

## dogbot: ##
Cleaning coins leaves a residue of chemicals that react with the metal (mostly silver) In the coin. So the toning is artificial because it was cause by the chemicals that were used to clean it. Also a grading service would catch that it was cleaned. It turned into really cool toning though!

I was in your situation not too long ago. I have the second and third "pages" of the Whitman album filled. Only missing the 16-D and 21.
I don't know what your budget is, but if I had to do it all over again, I would take the money I spent on the semi-keys and save up for the 16-D. Then I'd fill in the semi-keys and the rest of the common dates. Nothing worse than having the last hole to fill staring you down and knowing it will cost hundreds of dollars to fill it.

As always price is determined by supply and demand. There a lot of those coins around, and you can get very nice ones for less than $10. An extremely nice one (looking like it was just minted yesterday) might go for multiples of 10 dollars. I have never heard of a 1943s steel cent selling for thousands. It must have been unique in some way.
Edit: grammar
## dogbot: ##
I saw an episode of Pawn Stars where someone brought in a PCGS-graded copper 1943 and they offered a hefty sum for it, so that may also be where some confusion is for new collectors, but I'm pretty sure almost all of those are accounted for.

My guess is that it wasn't an automated roll but a customer wrapped one. I'd definitely say that's a once in a lifetime find if real!
## Speaker_1: ##
hard to imagine how a customer even ended up doing that.
but maybe an ignorant thief would not even know of the existence of small gold coins. a question i did not think to ask is what else was in the roll? if some dope stole a coin collection and just started putting "pennies" into rolls, i wonder if some other old coins were in the same roll?
i had a friend whose family owned a grocery store in the 1970s. the stuff that kid found! one day he brought in a shiny walking liberty half, one of the valuable ones (iirc 1943? s?) like worth 15 bucks then. i asked what he had done to make the coin so shiny (brace yourself): he told me he used steel wool ("but i was careful") -- a dealer still gave me more than face for it, i probably should have sold it to another kid of course.

I've been working on a type set for about that long. Though I'm not using an album (most of my type coins are certified), I am using the 7070 as a guide. Although I have 41/79 coins, technically, I don't even have a single page fully completed yet :P
## dogbot: ##
That's cool! I've been wanting to do the same for a few years now. I'd like to find a real 7070, but it's really tough for some reason, so I might go the same route you are and just start building a slabbed type set. I also want to start getting into ancients, I just don't know where to begin lol. What's your favorite coin out of the 41 you have so far?

The first picture was taken without covering my LED light. The second picture has the LED covered, which is why the tint is completely different (yellow ish). The first picture shows the true color/tint of the coin for both sides.

It would be under the date, since there is no mint mark, it’s most likely from Philadelphia

Never seen a box like that before.... my guess was that the quarters are silver, and the packaging is advertising proof silver coins. If they are proof then each would be 6.343 grams x 40 = over 250 grams of silver total... which is a little off from your box there

As the family lore goes, this was pulled from circulation by my great-grandmother on Christmas day of 1929, as it was the day she gave birth to her daughter. It was set aside for 18 years (*yep, through the whole-ass Great Depression, they never spent/traded it*).
It was given to my grandmother on her 18th birthday. She obviously cherished it and kept it clean and pristine until she died at the ripe ol' age of 84. It was left to my mom in the will, with a note saying something along the lines of "I would've given it to you on your 18th, but we all know your brothers would never let me hear the end of it!"
My mom kept it hidden away since then. My brothers and I never knew about it, because (since she didn't have any daughters) she was going to leave it to her brother's daughter.
My younger brother got married several years ago, so then Mom decided she would leave the coin to his wife (she's awesome, so I would've totally understood), as she is basically the daughter Mom always wanted.
*Buuuuut* here I come in, kicking down the door of these plans, with this sudden, out-on-nowhere addiction to coin collecting...and guess who just jumped to the front of the line? It's me! I didn't even know this thing existed, but my love for coins now puts me at the top of the list for all coin-related inheritance.
Apparently as the family's coin expert (I barely know shit, but it's slightly more shit than everyone else in the family, lol), my mom decided that this beautiful Quarter Eagle will be mine someday!

According to him, he carried it in his pocket every day since 1934, and it was on his nightstand when he died. Anything special about it, besides the sentimental value?
## dogbot: ##
Without the scratch next to Washington, the coin could grade PO01 (poor-1, lowest possible grade) which typically carries a premium for low-ball collectors. On the plus side, the scratch makes it unique and identifiable as your grandfather's lucky quarter.
You could still get it graded, maybe at a coin show or through a local coin shop, to preserve it but of course that costs money, would get a details-scratch with no grade on the label, and not increase the value.

Most of us here all seem to have our preferences but for the most part we are using something like this: [coin flips](http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/2x2-flips/) or this: [airtites](http://airtites.com/Air-Tite_Direct_Fit_Coin_Holders.htm#.Ud48hT7F1bU)
I personally use the flips and then put them in a box like this: [heavy duty coin box](http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-black-double-storage-holders/dp/B009K4VIL2)
Other people prefer binders like this, which you can buy sheets for and slide the flips right into the sheets: [three ring binders](http://www.collectons.com/shop/cat/162/index/0/Coin-Collecting-Supplies-Coin-Binders-Coin-Pages_)

European here: Why did the US switch to steel pennies from copper? Copper shortage around WWII? Rising copper price due to the rising popularity of copper wiring on electric household devices?
## dogbot: ##
It was a short term switch for the war. Copper was needed for the war effort, I believe for the brass casings for ammunition. After the war the cents switched back to copper.
In addition, the 5 cent coin that we generally refer to as a nickel (because of it's content of copper and nickel) was changed for the war as well. The nickel was removed, copper content was reduced and 35% silver was added. They are commonly referred to as silver "war nickels" now.

As inflation hits us hard, which it inevitably will, gold is an asset that will increase significantly in value. In 2-3 years that could and probably will be worth $6-8000 maybe more. I would for sure buy it.
## Speaker_0: ##
Hold up.
## dogbot: ##
Holding…
## Speaker_0: ##
You must be watching too many late night TV precious metals commercials. How much inflation do you think we will have in 2-3 years for gold to go from $1,950 an ounce (current spot price) to $3,200 - $4,300 an ounce?
## dogbot: ##
Well the short answer is 20-35% maybe a little more? Right now the economy is being propped up mostly by high interest rates until 2024 election end. That’s effectively like building a damn made of sticks and mud to prevent the Mississippi from flowing, it will break, right after the election. They added $7trillion to the economy with nothing to back it. Just like coins, the USD has value because it has a certain scarcity. When you add $7trillion to an economy that value of all money goes down, just basic economics. 2-3 years will be 1-2 years after the election and we will feel the inflation in a major way by then. Over the next 5-10 years I think we’ll see 50-65% inflation from what we have today.
## Speaker_1: ##
Economy propped up by high interest rates? This is gobbledegook.
## dogbot: ##
High interest rates push back against inflations by artificially creating scarcity because it becomes more difficult/costly to obtain money. It’s the first thing they do to keep inflation from getting out of control and the easiest way to track the economy. It’s exactly what they did in the 70s and into 80-81. As the economy improves over the next 20 years interest rates went down but at its peak, when the economy was trash in 80-81 interest rates went over 20%. We’ll probably see that happen again over the next 10yrs. Did you think the fed just raises and lowers the interest rate arbitrarily? Go on google and look at the economy for the past 50-60 years then look at the fed rate for the same time period you’ll see exactly what I mean.

Why do chop marked coins grade and aren't count as damaged?
## dogbot: ##
They used to, and are still given only Details grading by NGC and most of the less popular services. PCGS offers grades in the Chop Mark category, which is treated as a distinct issue compared to the same date without the marks. If I had to guess, I'd say the collecting community was substantial enough to convince PCGS that chopmarked Trade Dollars represent an important historical record and should be graded as such. Also, many consider chopmarks to be distinct from damage such as simple scratches or corrosion, because they have significance in and of themselves in the history of the coin.

For the uninitiated, these are super rare in the GSA holders. This and the 1890 are a bear to find.
## dogbot: ##
Exactly right.
Just One of every ~300 of the original mintage made it to the GSA Hoard. When you take into consideration the many coins that were cracked out of the GSA slabs and the Many many beat up coins that were graded 61 and 62, there really aren’t that many fine examples to choose from
## Speaker_0: ##
Yep! And the real nice ones were often cracked out of the holders back in the day since TPG's wouldn't grade them in the GSA holders. If I had to guess, I'd say attrition has probably eaten at least 40% of the holders.
## dogbot: ##
Yeah. dealers cracking these out of the holders was a regular practice in the 80’s, maybe even 90’s, as they commanded no premium at all.
While NGC and PCGS were both founded in the mid-80’s, NGC only started grading GSA’s in their original holders in 2004, PCGS - only in 2013!
There’s a guy on eBay right now selling an 1882-CC in PCGS 64DMPL that he cracked out of a gsa holder (he has “before” pics). He didn’t even get the GSA designation as he cracked it out BEFORE sending it in. And 1882’s are so scarce in DMPL in GSA 😣

I’m going to agree and then rant a bit.
There are complaints when people ask for advice on subs specifically designated for asking and giving advice. Nearly every post in r/relationshipadvice has some comment like, “Why does no one ever just talk to their partner about things” but more dismissive and/or sarcastic.
Google is great for a lot of things, unless there are nuances that only an expert or knowledgeable hobbyist would understand or anticipate. A person wouldn’t know to notice and describe some feature that might make this coin rare; there could be a subtle error comparable to the extra corn leaf on the Wisconsin quarters. Sure, maybe the Google results would include “This coin is worth melt value UNLESS…” but I wouldn’t bet the value of a rare 100 year old coin on it.
