Instead we should advocated for doing away with sales taxes on coins and use cash which gives you all the privacy you need.

Exchange rate fluctuate by the second. If silver is dropping by $1, as it did the other day, there is risk to both the buyer and seller in the exchange. You might go to the store with $2500 in gold to buy something only to find out that you only have $2450 in gold when you get there.
This is why I'm convinced that no "crypto" will ever become a functioning currency at any meaningful scale other than central bank digital currencies.
I think that's true with current volatility. But I live in a border state. Many places take Canadian currency but at a generous premium to them. It's not impossible to accept other currencies. But you need those currencies to be somewhat stable.
The other thing about gold vs crypto is that you can instantly convert the crypto to dollars. That is much harder to do with a physical asset. Consider credit cards that allow you to do transactions in 100 different currencies because the exchange rate conversion is done automatically by the processor.
There are crypto retail transactions done every day even now.

If that’s on the level, I owe the OP an apology. If it’s not you get a “LOL” & a future “owe you one” from me.
Someone owes an apology and it isn't you.
The OP is clearly able to post here and read the responses. No additional eyesight is needed to read another site and see that no such varieties exist.
That's simply not true. Black and white letter contrast is not the same as color photos. In addition, screen readers can read text but not images. I would bet that most numismatic websites are not WCAG 2.0 compliant.
It is easy enough to just avoid her threads, if you find them bothersome. She's one of the consistently nicest posters.

Are you going to heat seal them? That would make the flip air-tight and would give you addition protection from atmospheric contaminants.

@OAKSTAR this might be the answer to your thread about wanting to submit.

As a footnote, I seem to recall that she did find a bona fide doubled die once.

She has stated this in the past when asked about it. She's always polite and not combative. I see no reason to think she's not telling the truth.
Why she continues to put coins under a microscope is an open question. But apparently she likes it.

Re: Odd feature on various dated Trade Dollars- is this a known attribution point for these?
I think that in this case, looking for the "notched R" is pointless. The coin is more obviously fake in other ways.
