Title: The Lord of the Coins...
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on October 14, 2002, 10:39:09 AM
After some months of waiting, after numerous and big problems both with USA government and Spanish Store, after looking for it in several places... after all, I HAVE MY 1 SILVER DOLLAR. :o

I will attach you a couple of pictures recently scanned of the coin. It\'s 4.1 cms large (imagin the bestial coin) and it\'s one OZ of pure silver. The coin is awesome, brilliant and perfect. I still think USA is one of the best countries making coins.

Although you can\'t appreciate it, the coin shines as hell, and all those spots in the images are only scanning failures.

Hope you like it :p

They certainly look more interesting than British coins.

the company I work for is one of a handfull authorized to buy those from the US mint. We supply the rest of the world. Right now, we have about 250,000 of those in our vault in 500 coin sealed boxes, ranging in date from 1986-2002. We have already pre-sold  about half a million of the 2003 coins from the first release. I am still putting a box together for you, Adan.( it\'s under my desk right now, in fact, with about 20-30 coins in it. ) I will include a year 2000 Silver Eagle Dollar graded MS-69 (mint state 70 being perfect...) and also some of the "peace dollars" that kopking is talking about. In the box are some proof Canadian silver coins, some old US silver coins, and anything interesting I find in foriegn lots that come in. (there are even some coins from 1947 Phillipines that are US issue during occupation after WWII. )

I just wanna send one box, and make it worth it....


BTW, Koppy, that "guy" on the other side of your lucky coin is Dwight D. Eisenhower, one of the "guys" resposible for you not speaking German right now....  ;)

I\'m not joking.  I realy do have that toilet seat and it has the coin you posted in it, but it\'s from 1974, I think.

Really? As i said, crazy people everywhere :D

The first American Eagle was released in 1986 so it\'s impossible to have one of them from 1974. It will be some other silver coins, but not an american eagle.

send me your doubles :D

mines got a eagle on it, with a leaf in his mouth, the more i look at it, the more it looks like he landing on the moon, and you can see the earth as if it was our moon. and its in 1972

pretty pretty nice... is it pure silver?
Title: The Lord of the Coins...
Post by: CHIZZY on October 18, 2002, 11:10:20 AM
nope, copper-nickel. They are only worth a dollar here. And sometimes peeps won\'t take \'em. Like if I went to a store with fifty of those and tried to buy a pair of pantalones, they would probably refuse me. Even thogh they are legal tender.

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on October 18, 2002, 11:18:51 AM
Yes, it uses to happen with low minted coins... they think that they\'re not legal or whatever.

Hey,

I checked my toilet seat and there are 2 of the coins with the Robed Liberty on them and they are from 1942 & 1943.  There are also some indian head pennies from 1903, 1904 & I think 1905.  There is also some buffalo nickles and other strange coins in there.

Maybe I have something here.....    besides a little too much time in the bathroom.
