    I buy only the silver proof sets. I still love the look of them.

    I’d actually like to assemble a toned silver bicentennial proof set. An 1876 proof set would be cool too if I live to 100 which is highly unlikely I could get a tricentennial set too. If there still is a USA or nobody nukes the world

    Th world will be gone soon. Nobody cares either. Oh well. So long as the rich stay rich I guess all is just fine (for them). All this coin stuff will matter not.

    Gonna start calling you 'Lil Ray...as in "little ray of sunshine". You are one miserable human being and I can't see how you could possibly have any friends.

    Just saying.

    Actually I have a great life Sir. Wonderful wife and son, nice house in the country and the works. They thankfully and fortunately, are not a reflection of the cesspool we all must live in. The whole world isn't like that but most of it. I'm just fine though so call me whatever suits you. I care not. Just sayin'.

    Excellent! Happy you're able to enjoy the cesspool without worry. It'll all be gone soon though as I stated so, don't get too comfortable in it. Karma and all that kinda jazz. Lil Ray? I like it.

    If it's "all gone" soon, you'll be gone too. Doesn't seem to be a Karma thing.

    Do you have a recommendation for what gauge tin foil makes the best hat?

    Of course I'll be gone too. It's guaranteed when we're born. Yeah, it's Karma when what goes around eventually comes around. Sometimes realing that is the only thing that keeps me sane. The hat? Well, cardboard covered in metal screen mesh and the thicker brand of foil deflects bad things most efficiently. Definitely works for most microwave signals. I can't guarantee efficiency when 5g is in play though. The cancer risks once that is launched will be unknown territory. However, the corporate raiders will likely find a way for us all to live with it via some sort of treatment (so long as there is mucho money to be extracted) so, the ride could possibly continue to provide large profits or somebody behind the scenes for cesspool inc. Anything else I can help you with?

    So will 5g kill me before or after the end of the world?

    Yes, it's cool and it's blatantly misleading IMO.

    This is a thread about proof sets, not Apocalypse now. Move it to PM please.

    Relax, it's not your thread. Are you the thread police? If the OP has a problem with it he'll let us know!

    The problem with the coin on the nail, (IMO) it's unlikely a true error and was most
    likely created intentionally. It should have been destroyed.
    There is a slim chance it happened accidentally and found it's way into a mint bag,
    but I doubt this "coin" was found in circulation, and was likely taken off the line and smuggled out.
    These types of things cheapen the hobby with an indelible stain. Where's the integrity?

    Oh yea of little knowledge, it's not the OPs thread either, he only started it. Proof sets are the topic, and Apocalyptic fantasies are way off topic.
    As for thread police ??? Does this fantasy world you live in have anything other than sheep to sheppard in it ? You only herd the sheep, right ?
    I'll follow suit with the rest and ignore you, and the ridiculous and unnecessary bickering, that you seem to thrive on.

    OK, now where is that "Ignore Thread" feature? Oh, there it is! See ya'll, feel free to continue your bickering about the end of the world.

    No wonder YN's avoid this place like the plague...

    It likely is only a part of the end. By the time it's admitted to though, we'll all be dead so, enjoy the cancer until then.
