My objective has no collection!

Its not the collection that makes Numismatics fun, it is the look at the girl at the 7-11 when you pay for a slurpee with an AU 54 double eagle that makes it all worthwhile!

Hello

Sigh. That is not as exciting as when you give them a 1968 Dime without a mint mark that has been cleaned.

Amanda

 

Why would any clerk get excited over a 68 dime struck in Philadelphia?

 

sigh

Because it has no mint mark ... Duh

 

I asked a reasonable question of you.

The attitude was not needed.

Since the majority of clerks in the service industry are teenagers still in high school, and given the fact that the majority of them have no clue what a Kennedy half is when handed to them, or even a Sac or Prez dollar for that matter, I again ask, why would they get all excited of a 68 dime, with no mint mark, which Philadelphia struck 424,470,400 that year, and would NOT have a mint mark anyway?

 

Is this Brooklyn humor? I don't get it.

 

No it's Brooklyn attitude and I do get it.

My wife is a Brooklynite whom I transplanted to upstate NY.

 

I'd like to give the 7-Eleven clerk a credit card receipt
over written with " legal tender for all debts public and
private." She'll say "This isn't real money."
I'll say: "Yes it is. I monetized my debt."
But I suppose I'd only be arrested for counterfeiting
"real money."

 

You should see the looks I get from these clerks when I pass a dollar coin to them. They think they just received real gold.

Classic!

 

I think Amanda was referring to the poster we had who claimed a 1968 dime he had was an impaired proof no S dime worth a lot of money.

I took it as an inside CT'er joke, and thought it was funny. I have made similar ones referring to special Hong Kong 1776 dollars....

The attitude came when she placed a "duh" at the end.

 

Hello,

What attitude? Who talks like this?

Yes! Isn't that hysterical!

Amanda

 

They're not? They lied on the Home Shopping Network?

Amanda

 

The attitude in bold and underlined.

 

Actually I'd have to say the "sigh" at the beginning is more of an attitude giveaway than the duh!

 

Hello

I thought that was from the Vally Gurls. I am so confused and this is a heck of a way to spend a morning off of work.

Amanda

 

That could be included, except for the source coming from Brooklyn :thumb:

 

Valley Girls?

 

Hello

What about them? Whether it is Valley Stream or Silicon Valley or the Valley of the Damned, they are all the same.

Amanda

 

And you claim that YOU'RE confused?
