To many it might not be right, but I have always felt that anything you do to make a legal buck to support your self or your family is nothing to be ashamed of! end of story. Paddy can the children defend themselves that this pedophile "played with"? and 2nd just cause the POS was not found guilty doesn't mean crap since it was in the same area that the OJ trial was...and how many people actually think OJ shoulda walked? something to think about...   07-15-2009, 09:31 AM   #34 (permalink) Drusus Pecunia non olet     Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Houston Posts: 2,922 My Mood: There is nothing wrong with these...people have a right to produce them (I assume) and sell them and if people want one...where is the harm? I would never buy such garbage but there is a lot of garbage out there being sold that I would not buy and I find tacky but people still buy it as there is a market for it....leave all the good coins for us collectors. __________________ Pecunia in arbotis non crescit   07-15-2009, 11:30 AM   #35 (permalink) Collect89 Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Posts: 1,492 Quote: Originally Posted by clembo Well it seems the seller sells a lot of garbage and refers to it as collectables.

I can see it now, lets celebrate disgusting people, forget about people that deserve a place in history on our curency, lets give it to the scum of the earth. Wow!! I wouldn't take it that far but I certainly hear what you're saying. MJ was a pervert and sicko just like the others!! The only difference is he was rich and famous prior to becoming a weirdo pervert!!   09-15-2009, 05:11 PM   #42 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,374 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by willieboyd2 When I was a kid in the 1960's, people would punch an engraving of John Kennedy on a Lincoln penny and sell it as "Kennedy looks at Lincoln".

Simple answer is no. But, I can deal with these and high prices of coins on TV a whole lot easier than I can with the counterfeiting of our coinage. I just read the counterfeiting thread, looked at the pictures, and wrote a reply to it. Obama and Jackson stickies on coins is nothing compared to this.   09-17-2009, 10:44 AM   #44 (permalink) goossen Senior Member     Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Asuncion, Paraguay Posts: 370 My Mood: trash... really bad taste. __________________ WINS #552 My coins (with pictures): http://www.paraguaycoins.com/   09-17-2009, 12:02 PM   #45 (permalink) Drusus Pecunia non olet     Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Houston Posts: 2,922 My Mood: Why is is in bad taste? I DO believe its trash and certainly like said before, most collectors, I would think, wouldnt even consider buying one but if you are a fan of MJ...what wrong with it? Yeah...at least they didnt just throw a sticker on a half or pres dollar. __________________ Pecunia in arbotis non crescit   Page 3 of 4 < 1 2 3 4 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
