I’ll go $375

Nick, the 21 is a Peace Dollar instead of a Morgan, isn’t it? I would like to get my hands on a few more of the Peace Dollars, Mainly the 1925 & a few others.

Youse got a couple more months to worry about it.

My apologies. You are absolutely right. I kept thinking the Peace Dollars started in 21 & the Morgans ended in 1920, But I see they did a final year in 21.

Be careful, as both coins have been re-released as MODERN versions!!

They are Morgans.

My time stamp is showing James was at 7:00. I want to give him a hard time for being an ebay bidder with the last second crap, but he did go a couple hundred over so good on him! Congrats

Out of respect for Nick who is donating silver and gold from his private collection to raise money for this worthy cause, the object of my bid is not to beat other bidders by small margins but to pay spot value so the metals bring in a fair price. Buying precious metals from dealers comes with a 5-8% markup and shipping fees, so paying as close to spot (or sometimes a little more) gives a fair price so everyone can win a little bit and still get a bargain. Waiting until the last available minute gives others the first chance to do the same thing.

Thanks, Jim.

Cozy Coats for Kids is run (by Maggie) really well with nearly all the donations going to the mission. I actually can’t find a charity that has a higher percent going to its mission than Cozy Coats for Kids. We have no payroll (everyone is a volunteer) and shipping is donated by Inspector Outlet. We had a total of $2,500 in overhead last year. All the rest went to buy custom coats for needy kids.

Here are some other well-known charities that also have high mission spending vs donations, some approaching 90% (less than 10% spent on overhead and fundraising). The rest are above 75%. So they are all good charities to donate to.

  • St. Jude’s Hospital (really good at about 90% going to their mission).
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • Salvation Army
  • United Way
  • UNICEF
  • Doctors
  • American Red Cross
  • Goodwill

Here are some other well-known charities that have mediocre mission sending vs donations:

  • American Breast Cancer Foundation (only about 45% going to their mission).
  • Wounded Warrior Project
  • Feed the Children

Here are some other well-known charities that have very low mission spending vs donations. These are not good charities to donate to.

  • Children’s Wish Foundation (only about 15% going to their mission)
  • Cancer Fund of American (only about 5% going to their mission).
  • Kids Wish Network (only 1% going to their mission)

Here is the worst one:

  • Black Lives Matter (0% going to their mission, a scam).
