    Are you asking for free coins?
    Seems like an unusual request unless I am reading your thread request wrong.

    If you're asking for freebies, not cool to do. Slow down, read the post here. There's lots to learn and you have a lifetime ahead of you.

    Hello - It might be good to spend some timing reading many of the threads contained here. Lots of great information from some real experts. Consider it a free education. Keep track of abbreviations and phrases you don’t understand. Down the road a bit, post these items and ask for a definition...I’m sure members will help.

    Have fun -

    Not cool if your asking for free coins. There’s plenty of free knowledge here on the forums that’s worth more than any coin.

    There are plenty of series that are classics and cheap to collect minus a couple of the keys, Buffalo nickels, wheat pennies and mercury dimes which you can get most for silver value. I saw in another post that you have a ‘93-S Morgan, if genuine you can sell that and collect some of the series above.

    One other bit of friendly advice: it’s never wise to post your email address in a public forum. It’s better to keep that to yourself and people you trust.

    Good guess but that's just opinion.
    Okay, is it clad or silver :). ?
    And what year ?

    Winner gets it.

    And how many grams does it weigh ? It's gonna take some research.
    First the composition !

    There's a hint there.

    You're getting warmer. It's silver and 6.25 grams. Meeting pre '65 standards. I didn't break the holder. It came in this way. I like the slogan. "Justice For All". Welcome aboard. I thought you would get it with "composition".

    I’m a little confused. Wouldn’t be better to steer this young man to shows or books than just send him freebies? Maybe send him to the bank with his $10 and ask for a roll of quarters or dimes? I know this site is known for its generosity but asking for and unexpectedly receiving is very different. Just rubs me the wrong way but maybe it’s just me.

    Did I really? I was never aware of my saying it (if I even did) until my line became a legendary cameo in every edition of
    Coinalot. But either way, it's nice to see some nostalgia.

    You might be correct, Coinalot coined it for you perhaps, back then, I truly don't recall but yes it brought up this memory of you.

    This person or somebody can afford coins!

    He asked if a certain PCGS Piso Philp coin he purchased was a good buy. If what he stated was correct that item was at least $125.

    And yet he ask for free coins?

    Each his own but resources should be provided to more ethical and deserving young collectors.

    Have a good weekend everbody. Stay Healthy.

    i only asked if pcgs was a good site to use actually never said anything about buying a coin from them at all

    I had no issue at first since lot of us had given out plenty of coins and prizes during out the years.
    But the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.

    1 We normally run giveaways and or contests to random members. But never at the request of a new user. I can see how it could be abuse if it became a trend.

    2 I am a little skeptical about having personal infor of minor or sending random items to them without adult supervision. Many things can go wrong at both ends.
