Re: Love my new 2025 Great Collections Calendar with some great coin images that are quite pleasing.
I checked my GC invoices for the past year - I guess spending only $23K with them in 2024 wasn't enough to qualify for a calendar.

Re: Does eBay Feedback Matter Anymore?
I haven't sold on ebay for a while now, when I was I would get about 70% of the buyers leaving feedback.
Never ask a buyer for feedback! You are only asking for problems.

The owner said his Dad acquired the few rolls in early 1970s and upon opening today all appeared uncirculated with each roll providing a pair of end roll toners

Re: 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin (24YG)
@MFezziwig said:
My Flowing Hair gold coin has arrived safely! I gave it everything a thorough inspection. The packaging looks pristine with no prior handling evident. The coin appears to be in perfect condition with no flaws, fingerprints, trapped dust etc, The relief is very high and the cameo effect is very impressive. It is really beautiful in hand, and I feel super lucky to have been able to purchase one. This makes up for past mint frustrations I had with the V75 gold and the 2019 S ERP silver eagle. I was "shut out" of each of those, although I actually had a V75 gold in my "Bag" for a month, This coin will not be a "flip" for me. I intend to keep it as a long term holding to mark a special year for me. 2024 was the year I turned age 60, and I was officially retired from the Army reserves. After serving as a reservist in the Army National Guard for 24 years, at age 60 I finally receive a small military pension, and health care benefits) So as far as this coin goes , I guess I will share the "last strike" honors with @jskillz95 , unless another lucky person comes forward to claim that title.
Congratulations on both your retirement and your new coin!
Karma took good care of you!
Enjoy!🤑
