    Right now I'm working to build up money so I can move out from my parents' house... My mom and dad plan to "kick" me out, exactly a year from today... So far I've made (approximately) $300 and my mom gave me $225 for my B-Day... 500 and some odd dollars so far... Anyways my point in saying all that, is I can't spend money right now, but when I get leveled out my collection is bound to grow! :)

    moving out...

    have only $525

    build(ing) up money

    but wants a carr item for under $100 ?

    it looks like you have no choice about moving out.

    why are you undecided about spending $100 of $525 you have?

    Here’s a Carr with Grove Mint that you can have for under $40. I have one and they are awesome in hand.

    Here’s the thread and 3 grove products I bought recently





    I’m under $100 total. This is not for everyone but for me wow to hold in my hand a very very good quality reproduction and a d.Carr sleeper. It’s way better than pictures imho. Thanks 🤓🙀

    you can't move anywhere with $500... except maybe a tent in the backyard

    you have a redbook. they update them, but there are also online resources.

    a cell phone camera can do reasonable pics.

    What @MsMorrisine says. Especially the $500 "move out" funding.
    That is NOWHERE NEAR a sum you could exist on without additional income.

    $5,000 would even be a squeaker.
    $10,000 ....could ... be a workable amount. I really hope you don't leave with onlyt $500.

    :o

    What are some other mints that make fantasy coin... doesn't necessarily have to be a Carr, but I'd like coins that are hard to get ahold of that are fantasy tokens

    Intaglio comes to mind and others here will know. Here’s my favorite Intaglio 🤓🙀. I bought 4 @ $38 ea last year they have gone up but with some searching they can be found for $70-$80 range,maybe. Intaglio is another website I can spend some time just looking

    Ugh... I really want that DDO 1955 penny, but I'm so reluctant about spending money... A part of me wants it but I also don't want to spend the money... :s

    You state you need to save money for living expenses and then think about buying a privately made token with likely little resale value? Don't buy it.
