The YNs these days don’t know what they want, there’s the rub. They know only what they’re told they want. Am I suggesting they don’t have minds of their own? I’m not suggesting it, I’m saying it. I'm saying, not only that, they don’t have eyes of their own. How many times have you heard one of those look at a coin and say, of the form, “I love the toning on this coin--I sure hope it’s not AT!” What the hell does that mean? What is “AT?” It’s what the third-party marketers, who have the utter gall to refer to themselves as “graders,” the fourth-party endorsers, the dealers and the so-called “experts” tell this lost, clueless market-for-plastic they created what “AT” is. One has to be clairvoyant to know what “AT” is. But, do these YNs care? Here’s your answer. Ever notice how fools are always smiling? Have you ever seen a dumber look on a person’s face than this? I rest my case...
He's just grinning like that because he has a job... ANY job, even this embarrassing one, in this economy. His contemporaries are in their moms' basements playing PlayStation and picking their noses. And every once in a while they'll blog about how the biggest problem Political and religious!.
they look so unusual for a Roosie. I most collect world coins. "artifice and contrivance"...I guess you do not like it ? lol
Many slabbed "problem free" slabbed coins are not really problem-free. Also do you think most collectible coins are slabbed? I'd say that only a tiny percentage are.
No, it's part of the set, which I'll likely leave in OGP. The order in which they interest me is the P proof, then the W reverse, then the proof dollar way at the bottom. I usually only buy BU commems, not the proofs. (Except for the Atlanta Olympic stuff, I have ALL of them bought new. I buy whenever people talk about NOT buying. In fact, that's when I buy extras. I only buy one for my set when stuff is overhyped. It works for me 95% of the time. )
Every 20 years there's a new generation of nuts born. I work too hard for my money at the McDonald's drive-up window to be investing in this fanaticism anytime soon. Excuse me, "Do you want a hot apple pie with your order? No? That'll be $5.89, please pull up."
I'm glad I collect only type coins and don't have to go through the angst most of you seem to have. I'm perfectly happy with EF and AU grades in the older issues and low MS in the newer. And, every slabbed coin I have ever gotten was taken out of the slab as soon as I got it home.
A true art form in its own right. I don't do that to MOST PCGS or NGC slabs, but I've shattered lots of plastic from anyone else. I did remove one NGC - an MS62 1921-D Morgan. I needed a Denver Morgan for an MS "mint set - P, D, S, O, CC" for a five hole silver dollar Capital Plastics holder and that MS62 was a "second coin" of a two-piece auction lot that I bought for the other coin. So out of its plastic tomb it came, and it now hangs out with four other BU Morgans in Capital with plastic screws.
Maybe my memory is faulty, didn't somebody start a thread last year making the same claim about the baseball commems? Or maybe it was the gold Kennedy? How many coins of the century can there be?
That was me with the HOF coins. However the concensus was it was not the COTC, and there is reason to believe the rosie will be.
