  1. So I have this fireproof box and I haven’t opened it in a long long time. I’m thinking like maybe 10 years or more. As I recall it is mostly foreign coins. Nothing of value but stuff that I liked and stuck away for my collection but never did anything with . I do recall getting some rolls of like 2.5 Euro coins and placing them in there. I don’t recall the exact details but they were from Sweden (I think). I think there’s a few baggies in there of really crumby shape English Large Cents, the kind you used to see at coin shows for $2.00 or $2.50 a bag. So when I get to it, I’ll post a picture of the box and if I can find the key for it, I’ll actually open it and tell you what’s in there. If I can’t find the key, I’ll post the box locked picture and we can all speculate about the contents. I hope you enjoy this little exercise in the unknown and my attempt at posting something interesting outside of the Asylum. Pics to come.
  2. Meanwhile I have downloaded the GooglePay app so I’ll have ApplePay and GooglePay on my phone - at least. Not sure if I need them on my tablets but ApplePay is there anyway. So I can add GooglePay as well. I have my bank’s mobile app and use it to check balances and move things around, make payments and such but cannot see anything like ApplePay there.
  3. I plan to contact them and ask about it. I’m sure that with the xxxPay things they must pay some sort of fee and probably have some way of avoiding it.
  4. Ok so I need to actually use that apple pay that I have on my phone and tablets but have completely ignored. Thanks, I will learn how to do this. What a great feature for those using their cards. Can I use this at the gas pump?
  5. I wonder why my bank hasn’t featured such a thing. It would be marvelous for debit/credit card use.
  6. Can you tell me a bit more about these one-time use numbers that your phone generates. Special app? Special bank? Credit or debit card?
  7. I know what you mean but I’ve gotten way to complacent in using cards for everything. Of course, I purchase the cast majority of things online and so cards are a necessity. Paid for coffee yesterday in a small coffee shop with cash. Felt strange getting change and all.
  8. I do a very limited amount of shopping and almost always in the same store. It’s just so much easier to use a card. Chip cards - slide it into the slot. Beep beep - take it our. You’re done. No pockets full of change. About the only time that I get change now is if I pay when we stop for coffee while out in Field Service. For some reason, I almost always use cash. Maybe because places similar to those we stop in are notorious for card number theft.
  9. Very nice. The figure on the reverse that looks a little like a man reminds me of a similar figure on an old coin from Mexico or South America somewhere. I’ll have to see if I can find it. Best with putting the set together.
  10. I hardly ever spend cash anymore. Debit card is the major form of payment for me.

    Very nice and a New Orleans mint too. Enjoy!
  12. That’s a nice dollar, Colin. Also a terrific slab to have in your collection.
  13. It seems amazing that they could produce something like that and have a one cent stamp/value to it. My how times have changed!
  14. That is a great looking coin Colin. Enjoy it!
  15. Good evening back atcha! While I am not the person to answer your questions, detailed photos of the three sides of the coin would go a long way toward gaining a reasonable response. Obverse, Reverse, Edge.
  16. Your link doesn’t work. But in general, I would say that if you are asking this question the answer is always “NO”. We really have no one here who gives buy/sell advice.
  17. Hello and welcome to CoinPeople. Things here are very slow and most of the participants have moved on to other things. Those who are left will attempt to answer your questions. Please be patient.
  18. I know that it is very discouraging and I think that unfortunately there is not solution to most of the problems you mentioned.
  19. Never used it. I have used esnipe a time or two with good results.
  20. Never owned one of those. In fact, never really owned any of the gold dollar sized coins.
  21. The questionable past could make for an even more interesting collection. Maybe start with, in your opinion, the most notorious.
  22. In general no. But the actual circumstances of things caused some to be placed into circulation by the banks/companies that ended up holding them after sales at the planned activities failed for whatever reason. I would imagine that the “circulation” was very limited. I have gotten Stone Mountain Commems that were obviously well circulated.
