Just discovered, ultra-rare 1998 Civic Hoard. Premium toning. Don't lowball me, I know what I have.

Finally hit the absolute jackpot while excavating the skeletal remains of a fire-roasted '98 Civic hatchback.

Forget your clean, boring, professionally slabbed proof sets. THIS is original toning. THIS is provenance.

Presenting the newly discovered:

THE 1998 HONDA CIVIC HOARD

Approximately 27 years of uninterrupted, single-owner automotive storage, followed by a proprietary high-temperature finishing process.

DO NOT CLEAN THESE COINS. You could destroy decades of carefully accumulated originality.

True collectors know this kind of premium toning cannot be replicated in a laboratory. It requires a very specific process:

  • Marinated for decades in spilled McDonald's sweet tea, French-fry salt, and concentrated cupholder reduction.
  • Slow-baked beneath a dashboard reaching temperatures normally associated with pizza ovens and minor volcanic events.
  • Atmospherically toned by burning, period-correct 1990s Honda plastics, ancient fast-food polymers, and unidentified glovebox organics.
  • Professionally quenched by the Chicago Fire Department.*

*Provenance currently unverified.

KEY VARIETIES

2004 Wisconsin "Brisket Brown" Quarter — Row 3, Left

Absolutely spectacular low-and-slow coloration. Deep mahogany bark with hints of Sweet Baby Ray's around the devices.

The cow and corn exhibit exceptional char while retaining enough detail to qualify, in my opinion, as VF-35 BBQ.

Possible CAC candidate.

1999 Connecticut "Petrified Autumn" Quarter — Row 1, Right

Just LOOK at those colors.

Golden yellow. Burnt orange. Hints of toxic cupholder green.

The Charter Oak appears to be experiencing an actual forest fire, making this possibly the most historically immersive Connecticut quarter ever produced.

1969 Lincoln Cent — The Lone Soldier on the Right

The undisputed king of the hoard.

This absolute unit survived Nixon, leaded gasoline, disco, Reagan, 27 Chicago winters, the floorboards of a '98 Civic, and finally A LITERAL CAR FIRE.

And Abe is still there.

PCGS XF Details — Environmental Damage?

Absolutely not.

PCGS XF Details — ENVIRONMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT.

PEDIGREE

Ex: 1998 Honda Civic Hoard
Ex: Center Console Collection
Ex: McDonald's Sweet Tea Collection
Ex: Structure Fire

Coins have never been dipped, cleaned, conserved, respected, or stored properly. 100% original surfaces.

Serious collectors only. No lowballs. No tire kickers. No trades for clean legal tender.

I know what I have.

Do I send the Brisket Brown Wisconsin to PCGS for authentication or lick the sweet-tea glaze off it

[WTS] Semiquincentennial (250th Anniversary) Coins at FACE VALUE! Quarters, Halves, and Nickels

Are you sick of seeing people overprice and oversell these newer 250th Anniversary / Semiquincentennial coins? Because I definitely am ! I have accumulated a bunch of these from circulation recently, and instead of hoarding them, I want to share what I found and pass them along to fellow collectors at no markup.

proof: https://imgur.com/a/TjYuKV8

EDIT: If anyone want to help contribute for the people here, let me know would love to be able to throw in some dimes, or more P mayflowers

Everything is priced strictly at FACE VALUE.

🪙 The Details

  • Condition: Circulated (pulled from pocket change and bank rolls).
  • Mint Marks: Mostly D (Denver), with some P (Philadelphia) mixed in.
  • Designs: Includes the Revolutionary War, Mayflower,  and the Declaration of Independence Quarter, quarters, the half dollars featuring the Liberty design, and the special anniversary nickels. None of these have special privy marks.

💰 Available Inventory

  • Quarters (Revolutionary War designs) – $0.25 each
  • Half Dollars (Liberty Bell design) – $0.50 each
  • Nickels (Special 250th Anniversary designs) – $0.05 each

📦 Shipping & Materials

To keep this completely fair, you only pay for the exact face value of the coins plus a flat rate to cover my packing supplies and tracking:

  • Materials Fee: $1.00 (Bubble mailer, flips, and tape)
  • USPS Shipping: $7.00 (Includes tracking number)

🧮 How the Math Works (Base Example Total)

Here is an exact example of how your total is calculated if you buy a starter pack of 2 Half Dollars, 3 Quarters, and 1 Nickel. The total would go up from this baseline depending on how many extra coins you want to add: (we can round to make it easier)

  1. Base Face Value of the Coins:
    • 2 Half Dollars × $0.50 = $1.00
    • 3 Quarters × $0.25 = $0.75
    • 1 Nickel × $0.05 = $0.05
    • Coin Subtotal: $1.80
  2. Flat Packing & Shipping Fees:
    • Materials = $1.00
    • USPS Shipping = $7.00
    • Fees Subtotal: $8.00
  3. Your Grand Total:
    • $1.80 (Coins) + $8.00 (Fees) = $9.80 (we can round to make it easier)

💳 Payment & Shipping Rules

  • Payment: Venmo preffered, Zelle
  • Shipping Policy: I will ship via USPS with tracking and message you the tracking number within 24 hours of payment.
  • How to Buy: Please comment "PM" or "Chat" on this thread first, then send me a direct message with the quantities you want.

Let's get these into some collection books! Thanks for looking! first come / first serve
