Howdy friends, lots going on so I'm going to touch on a couple of things I find interesting just in case you might too.

  1. PCGS youtube channel
  2. Narrative social media platform
  3. Steempeak
  4. Canadian coinage

PCGS Youtube

Yeah, I get the newsletter from PCGS and I usually don't look at it but yesterday I gave it whirl and I was led to the PCGS Youtube, which I highly recommend. If you have any interest in US coinage and how it is graded this is the channel to check out. I watched a series called Grading 101 that was informative without being overloaded with info.

Narrative

As you may know, I was pushing back in October/November last year, trying to get you to sign up to the alpha before the platform launched. Welp, it launched. I spent a solid 3 or 4 weeks over there in July doing all the right things. You know, reading, commenting, posting... the things. I ended up making about $20 in NRVE.

As you can imagine with a new platform there are A LOT of bugs and quirks to work out over there with the main one, in my opinion, being a self-appointed sheriff

running around interpreting the rules for everyone else and enforcing "justice". It's really too bad but I am sure it will work itself out. I'm just going step back form Narrative for a bit...

Steempeak!

I keep hearing @senstless talk about Steempeak and he is no slouch when it comes to posting so you bet yer ass I wanna be like Mike.

This is my first post using Steempeak and I give two thumbs up!

Canadian Coinage

Check out this lot of Old Canadian dollars I just scored!

I really like the old Canadian coins so I was excited when I got these in my hand... PSYCH!

I also got an app that circle crops pictures, not sure if I like it or not. I think I like having a background on most coin pictures. Here is the other side of that Canadian commemorative coin.

I believe that is just a clad coin but it is still pretty cool, does anyone have more info on this coin? Thanks!

Great update on some things! RMC designs on coins are always great gold, silver or clad. I love the older coin design.

🤣😂 Are those “coins” just designs on the one coin? Maybe you should actually carve them out to make itty bitty “coins”.
