It now has a date of 6/11.
ASE EnhUnc no longer seen as 4/17. Placeholder of "Summer".

The 2026 head sure is lifeless.

On a side note, light circulation can sometimes be worse than moderate circulation.

Skin oils/salts get deposited on the coins and unless the coins continue to circulate those contaminants will fester and cause stains and corrosion.

Lightly or sporadically circulated coins don't have a chance to build up a protective patina.

Most of us here are of the mind to let a moderator delete this thread. Of course, you could delete this thread yourself. Do that and nobody would be offended.

I would delete it if I could but I cannot, I think once you have a reply you're stuck. either that or they hid the option so well I can't locate it.

Agree. I wasn't totally clear about what I meant about "delete the thread". You can edit the title to say "delete"(or whatever else you want it to say) and you can also effectively delete your own posts using the edit function. I'll edit delete my post you are referencing to serve as an example. You are able to effectively put your thread in ruins by doing this. I'm not commanding you to do anything specific just putting an option out there for you to consider.

Edit: I see I'm not saying anything you haven't figured out for yourself but by doing "edit deletes" you discourage some of the ridiculous meme carp that has taken hold on this forum.

I suspect that the meme carp is the only thing that keeps some of these threads from being as big a train wreck as they might otherwise have been. The earlier threads on these controversial topics somehow resulted in no bannings and not even any jailings. Maybe the memes broke up the contentiousness just enough.

I like to call myself a three cent nickel collector even though I have shifted away from the series in the past year or so. Many times I've contemplated selling my small collection of proofs to help fund other pieces for my collection. Whenever I think about it though, I'm always caught up on which coin I want to keep as a type piece. I'd say it's a hard choice, but deep down I know I'd have to keep my 1882.

It's a common coin available in pretty much every grade, even in DCAM. It's not my rarest date and I wouldn't even call it my favorite piece, but this coin just has something that sticks with me. My other coins would be very easy to find exact duplicates. They're anonymous coins. There is no easy replacement for this coin. It's by no means a monster, but it is very pleasant on the eye

Try deleting your account. That should fix things.

Most of mine were years ago when I was working on completing an entire series set.

I paid strong money for some coins I never loved just to chase down “completion”.

A mistake I hope I wont make again.

He's just pissed off because he was demoted from the dollar coin.
