Drats, foiled again! I bid $506,248.

Oh, well. It’s probably for the best, given that I only have $79 in my checking account. And I doubt if my Social Security increase for 2025 would make up the difference.

The most money paid for something with no “S” since Taylor Swift.

Coin Collecting is still a thing? I know stamp collections used to be a big deal with conventions and exhibitions.

If I had only known... A minute or two with a Dremel tool could have made me rich.

I can see why people would treasure historic coins minted centuries and millennia ago.

But why is there a market for a recent coin whose only claim to fame is a defect?

So, to any coin people, my Dad had a cigar box in a drawer in which he would toss odd things he found over the years. After he passed, I was going through this box and I found an old coin. It is in rough shape and it is a Liberty one cent piece from 1829. I know that these coins are not rare (especially in this shape) but the peculiar thing about this one is that, on the back, it has a large fancy '5' stamped overtop of the ONE in 'ONE CENT'.

Does this ring any bells for coin collectors as to why the 5?
He also had a number of other old silver dollars. And I did see a 1964 Roosevelt dime with no mint marks.
Am I rich yet? :-)

Q: Is there an AI-based site that will take uploaded photos and tell you if a coin is valuable?
