might've been able to wait but we're at a pretty low price as it is. Any downward movement in spot is going to get made up by vendors bumping the premium up and when there's volatility you are always going to have fulfillment issues. This will work out for you long term regardless.

Numismatic terminology is vague and subjective. Uncirculated in the common parlance means a coin not intended for general circulation as money. In this sense all batbois are uncirculated. The US Mint also reserves the term for proof coins. Both the proof and bullion batbois are technically uncirculated, but only the Mint's proof version has a frosted effect, though it has been reported that bullion batbois were released in error with frosted sides. "Brilliant Uncirculated" is retard lingo for "hasn't been in circulation as money and is in mint condition", usually. Again, numismatic grading is a scam. Just make sure you get a bat.

Constitutional aka 'junk' silver is usually sold as face value x melt value plus premium. Because Franklins have the same silver percentage as Kennedy half dollars (90%), and they have the same face falue they are usually sold at the same price. The short answer is yes they are.

1965-1970 mintages of the Kennedys had 40% silver content still, you can get a roll of those for about half the cost of a roll of 1964s but I heard it's harder to extract the silver content of those so they are not as desirable for stacking.

Terrible reviews. Endless complains. No deliveries. Half deliveries. Broken deliveries. Taking months to years to do anything from shipments to refunds and replying to emails.
They do just about enough to not be taken to jail. Only a rare positive review here and there that praise this seller. I'd go to their shop to see if they actually have in stock what I want and pick it up in person. But it's too far.

I ve been prospecting since I was little, I spent much of my youth wandering around old mines in my local area, and apprenticing under old timers to learn the trade of prospecting.

I own .. I think right now 9 placer claims and 16 hard rock claims but there scattered all over the place. Those claims mean I own the mineral rights to the ground but I dont own the land its self, in Canada that belongs to the state basically.

I started off with two claims and worked, and I do mean WORKED my ass off to prove those placer claims up and sold them off for a large sum of money to a bigger outfit. I just kept on doing that, except with the hard rock properties I usually either try to keep 1% ownership of the claim, take a lease on the ground or I set up a smelter return percentage. I rarely have ever actually mined my hard rock claims. the property i ve been showing ore samples from may be an exception though if I cant do a deal with a bigger company to buy it off me.

I made a fortune in mining, but as an environmental contractor not a prospector. I bought my first car by panning gold 10-12 hours a day, but once I sat down and calculated it, the work paid less than minimum wage. Fun, but not profitable on that scale in my area.

I've mostly converted to metal detecting, hunting mining relics. I suppose I make money doing that but I almost never sell the best finds so it's more a matter of improving my collection than anything. When I die my kids will make a pile of cash selling my junk, but that's not why I collect it.

the degree was absurdly difficult, there's no way I could do half that math now that I'm older. And I quickly learned that geology bores the fuck out of me. Not rocks and minerals, I like those. But the actual work geologists wind up doing. Just glorified underground mapmakers for the most part.

if your worried about going in the bush, the best way to stay safe is to tell two different people a time when you will be back and a general location of where your going.

as for other gear or suppliers, i am not in the states but I hear good things about Gold Pan California in Concord. They are fairly dependable and can also help you optimize your kit. Yes a wide brim hat will help, waders are a good idea but unless your planning on creek crawling I would focus on staying close to shore. Shoveling dirt from the bottom of a flowing creek really doesnt work that well.

As for that gold in the photo... that was about 4 buckets of material from a bedrock location I was working on. Spectacular ground, but it only went for about 4 ft than stopped dead. Just an area the old timers missed on a high bench. I think my mates and I each got 2 or a bit more ounces that day using rocker boxes.

2. Wash the coin using soap and water
3. Use something like a toothbrush to scrub the coin clean in a bath of acetone
4. Use something like a toothbrush to scrub the coin clean in soap and water

There are two variants of the bat coins: a bullion version and a "special" version that the US Mint sells. The special version has a "P" (Philadelphia) mint mark on its obverse.

Brilliant uncirculated as I understand it means that the coin has essentially zero wear on it. It doesn't necessarily have to be shiny if the coin was never shiny to begin with. It's just that historically, all circulating American coins were shiny when newly-minted and became dull after circulation. Thus brilliant uncirculated makes reference to those coins as they first come out of the mint.

Here is the special bat coin from the US Mint:

The coins are ugly and therefore unpopular. The contain a full troy ounce of gold with some added copper for hardness. However, the designs leave much to be desired. If I remember correctly, most of the obverses feature faces of famous Americans (Mark Twain, Grant Wood, etc.) in a three-quarter side view or almost full front view instead of the traditional profile. Three-quarter or full front view faces pretty much always look like shit on coins. You need only compare old profile Jefferson nickels with the new ones.
