Everybody and their brother seemed to know that Josh Allen goes left on the QB Sneak. Except the Bills. So they got stuffed, the Chiefs made the plays at the end of the game and that was that.
Joe Burrow, you're our only hope.
p.s. Thanks Zurie! |

I don't have any great advice except to keep trying different things to figure out how to best get good coin photos from that particular phone.
That said, the best coin photos I have gotten were from my old Canon A530 point and shoot camera. My 7070 pictures, for example, remain the originals taken with that camera. I've tried multiple times with subsequent, on paper better, cameras, and never gotten photos I am satisfied with. |

Just to put an accounting slant on this, but the actual purchase of the coins would show up on an income/expense type statement, not a balance sheet. As would food or electricity expense.
The coins are a durable good (expected to last one year or more), so they would then also end up on the balance sheet as an asset. Collectible would be how I would categorize it.
As others said, I track my coin inventory and approximate value in a spreadsheet. I don't really consider it as part of my overall net worth as it's not a significant percentage. |

| You can also get a better price from a LCS if you catalog everything in advance and show up organized - here's what I've got, here's what I think it might be worth (at retail). That's far better than showing up with a box and expecting them to go through it and value it. Of course they are a dealer and are going want to make something on any resale, so you have to factor that in. |

Our power was out for about 14 hours, there were a lot of branches to pick up in the yard and I have a couple of messy water intrusion issues in the basement that 5+ inches of wind driven rain uncovered that I will need to address. This is the worst I've seen around here since Hurricane Ike in 2008. That said, we had it much easier than many.
Spelled Helene btw for official record keeping, |

I follow the r/coins subreddit (forum) on Reddit.
There are a lot of clickbait type articles on the internet that make people think that they can find ultra-rare coins in pocket change - "this penny could be worth thousands if you know what to look for" (they don't, and these coins are mostly not out there even if they did).
There are tons of fakes people buy or even find on the ground that get asked about - 1804 Dollar (15 known to exist) comes up a lot.
There are apps that massively over grade and over value common coins.
So there are a lot of posts along the lines of "I found this the other day, so do I have what I think I have?", along with a picture of a circulated 1968-D Lincoln Cent. This coin is worth $15,000 in MS69 after all. Well, sorry, yours is worth 1c.
Most of the answers are just a Google search away.
It does get old after awhile but people for the most part are pretty nice about it. I guess there's a lot of people hoping to find treasure out there. |
