This came up on my FB today just wanted to warn all you newer collectors that there is NO WAY these are real... The real coins are selling 3-400+ so there is no way in blazes this guy could be selling 2020 ASEs with the Privy mark for only $30 each...

I have a friend who is a linguist and etymological addict. He is American and yet speaks Russian and German like a native(s). So he and I have a lot of fun with words and language play. I only speak Spanish as a second language, but have played with others as well as other alphabets for fun. So this type of thing is something he and I exchange all the time. i thought I would try it here.

My wife is a Spanish and English teacher. She also, quite a few times, has proven what I have found on grammar websites to be false...I call her an English encyclopedia. It came in very hand for me when authoring a book!
German? I just play with it...don't speak it really. I grew up with all my buddies in high school taking it and then had one of my best friends (and his sisters) from Germany in college. I was with them all the time. It was weird, but after being with them a couple years, I found I could join in a conversation in English. Somehow I knew what they were saying in German. I could not do it now though.

Cool about learning German through a gaming team! Hadn't thought of that! The German friend I mentioned in college told me what helped him learn English most was reading English (the 80s) comic books!...he was serious😮😅
So I picked up some Spanish ones (I was taking Spanish anyway)

Wait a minute. I have a W quarter with a privy mark. Are you telling me it is worth 3 or 4 hundred bucks?
