r/coincollecting

Regardless of anyone’s political views, this coin has been universally disliked. It violates the country’s law and tradition that no living person be featured on currency. Not to mention this coin steals Frank Gasparos design from the reverse of the half dollar, and uses his FG signature without his consent. And the design is not emblematic in any way of the semiquincentennial, which is why this is supposed to be issued.

Everyone seeing this please contact the mint to let them know you do not want this either email at usmint-support@usmcatalog.com or call their phone number 1-800-872-6468.

You could also try contacting your states law makers and letting them know. Thank you.

Laws that this violates:

The 1866 Thayer Amendment clearly prohibits living individuals from appearing on U.S currency, and coins are currency. This coin being minted will violate this law and break a tradition that has been followed since the founding of the country. 

SEC. 3, (C) of the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 states that “The Secretary may, in addition to the coins produced under subsections (r) and (w), mint for issuance during the one-year period beginning January 1, 2026, $1 dollar coins with designs emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial”. The coin however, is not emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial in any way. The presidents face and the presidential seal have nothing to do with the semiquincentennial.

i am so happy but also confused as to why someone would pay with this

Just wondering if this is worth anything of value

[effacé]

Guess what coin is graded MS-63 and what one is graded MS-61?? Both are cac graded, good luck 🙏 God Bless!

1. (First 2 photos) is a 1883-O
2. (Last 2 photos) is a 1879-P
   (I think this will be to easy for you all but let’s start with 2 coins before I throw like 4 at you)

Yeah and also what’s it worth probably not a lot with the hole in it 😂

Hey everybody!

1881-o straight graded, go ahead and guess the grade. This sis just one example I’m using to prove CAC is Robbing the coin collecting community blind! First please review the photos and give fair grade and I will let you know what cacg gave me. This is a great example to use but they have done this on every single coin, and some are way way way worse then others. Meaning everyone knows cacg is conservative and will grade a point or 2 lower then ngc or pcgs but they “sell” for more compared to same grade by other third party companies. So the fees are cheaper and they sell for more what’s the catch, well the catch is your 65 will be a 63 ok a good day and a 62 on a normal day and a 61 on a bod day. Graded had a bad day your ms65 cc just got a wheel mark details grade , those die polishing lines that straight graded the last 10 coins are now wheel marks because my drive to work was bad etc. I digress. This coin got a freaking ms62 I’m 1000% sending it to another grading company I’m filming the entire process and CACG will be exposed. They are not worth the hype or your time, stick with pcgs. Let me know if this a 62 or what? I have cacg 63+ that look worst the this coin…. In photos and in person. We all know these cacg photos make the coin look its absolute worst too and I truly mean that, it’s great when buying because you see every single mark, the coins always look way better in person as your eyes can’t pick up all the details the photos do. Would love to know everyone’s opinion on this grade and cacg in general?

I’ve never cleaned or polished it, no idea about prior owners. Never been into coins so not sure how you judge condition on them accurately. Trying to see if I should sell it at gold price or if it has value as a collectible above that. Thanks for any advice!

I’ve had these coins for around 10-12 years. I want to know what the consensus is about them. Thanks in advance. I’m new to finding out if they are real. I checked dimensions and magnet tested them. But that’s all I know to do.

Passes online ping test but the sound doesn't last much, and it's noticeably thinner than my libertad ounce.

This 1808 $2.50 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle just came through our vault, graded PCGS AU55.

The Capped Bust design used on the 1808 Quarter Eagle was produced for just this single year, with only 2,710 coins struck. Afterward, Quarter Eagle production stopped entirely until 1821.

More than 200 years later, it’s a remarkable piece of early U.S. coinage to see firsthand.

For the early U.S. gold collectors here: what stands out to you about this example?
