    $250… How did I do?

    Nice coin at a great price! Are you going to grade it? I don't think that the 1/4 oz. 2004 has much of a premium in 70, but you might want to consider getting it looked at.

    At the price you paid, you've already made a nice premium.

    I knew it would happen.

    I thought about sending it in, but just like you said, I can pick them up on eBay for not a terrible amount much more, so I’ll probably just keep this one raw…

    I ended up sending it to CACG after all.

    Converting not-so-precious metals into worthwhile money with character.

    It's been a good month with 320 lbs of UBC recycled, and the price for UBC rising to $0.65 per pound or 2.03 cents per can. We (I do all the work; gf receives the $50s and $100s - we laugh about the inequity) got $208 in aluminum cans alone and it is still winter. Not much traffic at the boat landings. Therefore, lots of surgical dumpster diving while dodging store clerks at 3 AM. An evening of adventure for $20 worth of UBC.

    Here's Monday's tag for 211 lbs. of UBC. I dropped off another 109 lbs. of UBC Tuesday and the receipt had my name and address on it, so perhaps I've made an impression with the 320 pounds total UBC dropped off in two days. That happens with large quantities of scrap. I found that out because I had to get rid of well over a ton of UBC in my 2-car garage in 2016. I had no more room to park! I stored them there because UBC prices were abysmal for a few years. As soon as I got rid of them, sure enough, aluminum prices started to rise again.

    Stock photos depicting representative coins purchased with $137 of UBC proceeds at the coin shop next to the laundromat up the street.

    Last week's yard sale finds. Paid $1 for the fork and $3 for the necklace.

    Nice, now that's how one profits in the gutter. RGDS!

    And this, I think there are some PGM’s inside. :D

    Also got my platinum back from CACG!

    I typically go with PCGS for most of my grading, I did the CACG more or less for the novelty of it, plus my friend was sending his very first submission ever, and I piggybacked these along…

    I love their holders, I did it mainly for the aesthetics.

    Some amazing additions, asheland! Very nice!

    Scored a deal this afternoon on this Morgan for about the price of a generic round.

    Nice pick up 👍

    New pick-up last week. Simmons Refining Co. 14.5oz.


    Very cool!

    Also picked these up, I’ll probably make a thread dedicated to them:

    I skipped the 10:

    And I got both of these this week, these really really take me back to when I was a teenager,

    I seem to recall around the time they were 25 to 30 bucks apiece? And that was with a hefty premium added!

    I got both for $175 each and I feel like I got at least a decent deal…

    And the 1989 really has that “80s” look to it.

    That is a really cool piece!!!

    I got this yesterday. B)
