I inherited my dads stamp collection. I have no idea of its value but I don't think its alot.  Its a pretty small collection.  Doesn't seem to be really any where in charlotte to sell it at.  Recommendations?

look up some local coin shops and call them.  I'm talking real coin shops and not pawn type spots.  I'm too far away from but my local coin shop guy can pretty much give you a ballpark on all kinds of random collections.  A lot of them dabble in collectables in general. 

I wouldn't sell it until you found someone that legitimately can tell you what you got.  Also, if you find someone that is willing to buy it, I wouldn't sell it to the first guy offering money either.

that is my 2 cents as a "coin nerd".

I love it.  The history aspect is my favorite.  Plus, I like the fact I can pass it on to my kids and even if it isn't there thing or they don't want dads quirky hobby as a memonto..they can actually cash it in for something at some point as an added bonus when I am gone 

what do you like to collect? I dabble in a lot.  Peace dollars are my favorite though.  I also have recently gotten into stashing some of the new bullion stuff for my kids.

i can't say i'm serious about it because i don't actually go seeking out specific pieces to add to collections. it's been a long time since i actually went out and purchased coins. as a kid i was obsessed with it though and ended up amassing a massive international selection. i have a pretty nice collection of 19th and early 20th century british coins, a bunch of wartime french and german coins, tons of late colonial pieces from around the world.

i remember being twelve and freaking the fug out when i found a mint condition coin from morocco with the date 1355 on it... i thought i was going to be rich. then i found out that's the islamic calendar. such disappointment

to date my collecting mostly consists of seeking out a diversity of currency whenever i travel, so i have a humungous unorganized stock of modern coins from all over the place that i need to sort through eventually

Sweet.  I think that is awesome.  

the more diverse, the more interesting.

I'm kinda priced out of going back much further in US coinage than I am.  Gets too expensive other than just trying to get lucky finding people that are uninterested and sitting on a nerds dream.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
