$40 is too much money for "junk". Culls can be had for virtually under $25. You can buy rolls of AU coins for $40 per coin

I always use the TV image, plus my own. Also, for what it's worth, I intentionally seek out coins with TV images when I am buying a coin.

How many of these can we name?

Whenever I see a seller with less than 97% positives, I check and see their negatives and neutrals to decide if I still want to bid.

snipes only work if you remember to do them - I was going to do one tonight but got started in a project and when I noticed the time, it was 3 minutes too late

It's a good thing we didn't have Tiger tanks or the total number of tanks added would have only been a fraction of that.

Some true heavy US tanks were designed and built (40 M6 examples + prototypes of an even heavier tank). The US M3 and M4 medium tanks were produced in very large numbers. The Germans would probably have been wise to put all of their money and effort into the production of more Panther tanks. The Panther tanks were much, much cheaper than the Tiger I and Tiger II of which only about 1500 were ever built. The US Built about 45,000 M4 Sherman tanks, each costing about 1/7th of what a Tiger Tank cost. The Tigers were very deadly but had flaws. They were too heavy and experienced frequent breakdowns. They also used too much fuel for a country that suffered from fuel shortages.

I've seen a lot of modern quarters with that type of wear/damage. That's not normal wear for a 2023 coin. Often wondered what caused it.

W's are cool. 20 million makes them rare enough but not impossible! Sure some are getting circulated too much, but I still think there are some that have never seen the light of day out there, hidden in some box somewhere rolled up!!! > @joeykoins said:

Let's GO W's....

Couldn't have said it better!!!!

How do you guys think about this years S uncirculated quarters with a mintage under 300,000?

Definitely rare, but imagine if the mint had dumped them into circulation like the W's??? Those would have been red hot!!!

@WQuarterFreddie -

NONE of your discussions are about "collecting" , they're all inflammatory topics about Vaultbox or the like. Finding W quarters in circulation and reselling them is also not "collecting". Not sure how long you can play the "novice" card either, you've been a member here for 5 years. Do you have a collection? If you did, and you posted it, I would never say anything negative about it. In fact, I would love to see a post of that nature. Recently you promoted a clickbait article to which I tried to explain is not something that should be promoted, and you stubbornly argue about it. Im happy to help novices who actually want to learn about collecting, and I spend more time than anyone trying to do, so I haven't gotten that impression from you so far.

Again, quite ironic that you as a dealer who SELLS his coins complain about me selling some of my W quarters. Hypocritical of you for sure.

Also, most of my discussions that I started have been about W quarters and they have not been closed or deemed inflammatory but there you go again criticizing me for posting about them. How is this thread inflammatory?

The only inflammatory posts I see on this thread are YOUR posts mocking me for selling my First Discovery Quarters and claiming I told you to buy them as great investments which for the record I never said to you or anyone else.

To be clear, yes I have a vast W quarter collection and will be happy to start a thread and post them for you because I know you are eager to prove to others that you really care about my collection.🙄

Your negative posts speak for themselves and it is getting old.

Also, Dan it is time for you and the other members to get over the VaultBox threads.

That is ancient history and I was not the only one to start them or discuss them as a valid product for anyone who wanted to gamble with their money.

I stand by my statement that I will NEVER contact you regarding any coins.😎

Not sure how collecting and dealing makes me a hypocrite, I didn't say selling coins doesn't make you a collector.

To be clear, yes I have a vast W quarter collection and will be happy to start a thread and post them for you because I know you are eager to prove to others that you really care about my collection.🙄

Freddie, go through my comments and count how many times i've commented on someone's new coin, or accomplishment like finishing a set of modern coins or something completely different than what I collect. You're way off base here, I'd be one of the first to congratulate you if you posted something like that or that you had achieved a goal of yours.

Your negative posts speak for themselves and it is getting old

Which ones? This thread is about value retention and I posted a screenshot of APR's relevant to the discussion. My other sarcastic comment was because you made a statement without providing any data or evidence to back it up. Actually, you're the one that makes things personal and starts making ad-hominem attacks, I only point out flaws in your argument.

I stand by my statement that I will NEVER contact you regarding any coins.😎

Don't know why you're trying to hammer this home, I dont care and I wasn't wating by the phone. Nort do I stock anything you'd be interested in.
