hi badon!

hi Jeruuu

What's nuuu?

badon: https://forum.coincompendium.com/index.php?topi... can I just move this post to task to do?

Looking.

or Do I still need to ask that in the forum?

Jeruuu: That post was originally a type confirmation, so if it is finished for the new type, you can move it to the confirmed forum. You can make a new post for the task, and quote and/or cite the old post for reference.

ok

ty

Jeruuu: I think you can reference chat logs for things like this: https://botbot.me/freenode/coins/2016-08-05/?ms...

You can also copy-paste the chat so we know why it happened, on the forum.

The copy-paste + the logs reference will allow complete research to be done on everything that happens in the chat.

ok

That makes it so we can use chat whenever it's convenient.

Wow, botbot.me says there are "187,149 lines of discussion in #coins"

Oh cool, our logger bot has a bunch of neat features I didn't know about.

Do you guys know anything about grease stamp errors?

I have a coin that looks like one but it could be normal wear, I can't tell.

What are the best coins you guys have found in circulation?

Hi CarolusRex

Sup badon?

CarolusRex: Doing well, you?

Great, I just found a 1909 wheatback working cashier at my job which prompted my question.

CarolusRex: When I was in the USA one day, I found a 1914 D Lincoln cent and a 1922 plain Lincoln cent. They were almost certainly from someone's coin collection.

CarolusRex: Don't clean it!

Hell no.

Does it have a "VDB" on the reverse, below the wheat?

It drives me insane when I see the scratched up shiny wheatbacks

Haha, yeah.

I can't believe I forgot to look for the VDB! I'm going to get it

Yeah, that VDB adds a lot to the value.

If it has an S under the date, it's the key to the series.

Hi Charles__

It's CarolusRex, I couldn't reconnect with my usual nick for some reason

Spotty internet drives me crazy

It wasn't a VDB, still pretty cool though

Yeah, and valuable.

Is it in decent condition, or is it worn?

Aren't the plain ones only worth like a buck?

It's not worn all that much actually

There's a fair amount of detail visible

Moderately worn I'd say

I'm not sure, I never owned a plain one. I was an investor when I was collecting American coins, and I think I only bought the 1909 S VDB.

That's worth hundreds I'm sure

It was decades ago. I paid $315 for it.

So you don't live in America?

It's worth probably 10 times that much, or more.

I never say where I am.

I could be in the USA RIGHT NOW, and you wouldn't know :)

I bought some gold double eagles too, but I made more money on the 1909 S VDB than most of the others.

Dang, have you sold it yet?

The only thing I ever bought was junk silver and I made quite a bit selling that when silver went near $50

Yes, I sold all my USA coins when the coin market became unfavorable. I did stocks or something after that.

I'm pretty good at timing the market

That's an understatement, actually.

It's like saying Einstein is pretty good at physics :)

I only try it when I have extensive first hand knowledge of the commodity/stock/whatever because it's easy to get burned.

I don't do precious metals right now, but that's what I did after the stocks and stuff.

Do you have a specific industry you focus on with stocks?

Nope.

I don't do stocks anymore either.

Because?

That ship sailed long ago.

It's risky, and not as profitable as other investments with less risk.

they'll come back in fashion eventually, but not now.

The only single stock I've purchased in the last few years is AMD and I tripled my money

AMD is getting funding from the NSA, and that makes them a less risky investment.

The NSA has probably been propping them up for decades now.

Also they're the only real competition to Intel, the only viable company to hold an x86 license, etc

Intel doesn't want to get sued for having an x86 monopoly so I wasn't worried about them going out of business

That's why the NSA wants them to stay in business, so Intel can maintain its monopoly and convince everyone that it isn't a monopoly.

Why would the NSA care about that?

Because the NSA puts hardware backdoors in the CPU's produced in the USA.

As long as the USA is the primary source of the world's CPU's, the NSA can get into everybody's cryptography.

I really don't doubt that and I probably shit on 99% of conspiracy theories

Like why wouldn't they

It's not a hypothesis, it's proven.

Where's the proof?

I know about the Intel Management Engine but that's hardly proof by itself

They've been in there for a long time, and an independent researcher found one of them by accident.

Intel replaced it with a new backdoor that can be accessed wirelessly, even without any internet connection.

That's the current generation of NSA backdoors. It's pretty impressive, really.
