Best Of

only the best for me and the missus.

The answer to your question may depend more on your plans than on the coins themselves. If you will be selling these, having a sticker on any or all of them would be quite advantageous and will almost certainly give you a very nice return on investment. If you are planning on keeping them, there is less incentive to go through the motions, other than the added assurance (above and beyond what you already have from the TPG service) that they're solid coins. Shipping & insurance costs, risk of loss in transit, and having the coins out of your possession must be weighed against the potential benefits.

You can get many opinions here about whether they will get a bean or not, but trying to determine this from photos is a guessing game, and when it comes down to it, none of us carry green stickers in our pockets. Ultimately, there is only one way to find out.

If they were my coins, I'd send them in, but I have a habit of occasionally upgrading and horse trading. You never know when an even better opportunity comes along, and right or wrong, coins are much easier to sell with a sticker.

I think the Gasparro Liberty design that was trashed in favor of the SBA dollar should be produced by somebody, someday.

It would be great for Dan to do one of these. Frank Gasparro's 1977 Liberty design has been done a few times by different people but none are exactly like the original design, aside the cheap ones from China. In 2017, Ken Potter ordered 200 of the design struck over SBA dollars from the Royal Oak Mint. Unfortunately, while overstruck a genuine dollar, it still uses the COPY word.

There have been many of these threads over the years. There are many favorites, but this is one of them:

This coin belonged to @Bear and was part of his "Legacy Collection". Some of those coins were sold at a Legend auction and I was lucky enough to snag this one. I think I'll go have a jelly doughnut.

Apart from that, the Oregon Trail passes a few miles from my house and wagon ruts are still visible in rock formations in a few places.

I’ll tell you of a School of Old
(‘fore stuff like iPhones were foretold)
When cents had wheat stalks on the back
And no PCGS or CAC
Before state quarter coins began
(I was a Howdy-Doody fan!)
When some cars’ sides were made of wood
And grading coins was understood
When we all had a hula-hoop
And coin collectors used a loupe,
The girls’ hair looked like hives of bee,
The steely cent in ’43.
The best about it I can say:
I was much younger than today!

My first phone was a crank on the side of the wooden box, which woke up the Operator across town, to whom you told what number you wanted to talk to. She then plugged a wire in a hole in a big board to connect your call. Really old school.
