Welcome to Coin Talk! And while there is nothing wrong with "reviving" a six year old topic, you should not post personal contact information such as phone number or e-mail address here. As for your trade dollars, posting some images might help ...

There are many many counterfeit trade dollars out there, if you can post some pictures we may be able to help you confirm that your coins are genuine.

 

Raymundo: A suggestion. Start a new thread under the U.S. Coins forum and post some pictures, both obverse and reverse. I guarantee you will get some help. A lot of members tend to ignore old threads that have been revived.

 

All I see are three pictures with big Xs across them. What are y'all talking about?

 

He revived a 6 year old thread. We told him to start a new thread to get help.

 

DITTO, and it is driving me crazy!

 

The images were posted 6 years ago. The links no longer work.

 

This is why I rail against bumping old threads. The person who bumped it is not going to get any realistic help, and half the people reading won't realize it's an old thread bumped for something having nothing to do with the original topic.

 

Well I told him how to start a new thread to get help. It's up to him.

 

Usually we do not do this, but since it's Easter ... This is a separate topic now. No need for further confusion, and yes, it is up to the OP to post further details.

Thank you, Christian. Raymundo87, we'll be happy to help. Trade Dollars are among the most counterfeited of coins, though, and images are imperative in order to determine the best course for you.

 

Here are some problems with not posting old threads and perhaps a solution:

1. New members loose out on a lot of good info posted on these threads. IMHO there is at least a year of reading to do to take in most subjects.
2. Many are probably not aware that they can search old topics by using the "search" feature.
3. Reading an old discussion may raise new questions.
4. Information in an old thread may be out-of-date, incomplete, or heaven forbid - not quite correct (in need of tweeking or additional discussion).

One solution (but what moderator has the time for this) is to go through "old historic threads" on subjects like "Cleaning" and remove all the "trash" and lame opinions; then post the "good edited" info it for member review w/o members ID and let the subject get "edited" by each of us using color for comments until it is finalized. In cases where two members agree to disagree, the mods and overwhelming opinion would pick the "right" info to include.

Then that thread would be permanently posted (may already have something like this on CT). If a new member asks about X, we can refer him/her there.

Finally, when all the important stuff is covered. All members who use CT can agree that all of their opinions are in the public domain AND THE OWNERS OF COINTALK CAN PUBLISH A BOOK (and finally get a little return for giving us the forum): What I learned about coins when I just asked CT" or something catchy.

I can't wait to read the "titles" you comedians come up with while we wait for the OP to respond!

 

By rule and accepted practice, everything posted in a forum - which by definition is private property - is owned (non-exclusively) by the forum owners. If they wish to sell your posts and uploaded images for money, they can. You give that license by posting here.

 

So let's get that book going. This forum is a gold mine!

 

Actually the license is to CoinTalk, not it's members:

''You are granting us with a non-exclusive, permanent, irrevocable, unlimited license to use, publish, or re-publish your Content in connection with the Service. You retain copyright over the Content."

 

That's what "OWNERS OF CT ARE."

 

We agree, then - that's precisely what I said.

 

Really? I thought your name was Dave? Not Peter...

Fold that in with the definition of 'we' in the terms (same page as the previous quote):

"The providers ("we", "us", "our") of the service provided by this web site ("Service") are not responsible for any user-generated content and accounts ("Content"). Content submitted express the views of their author only."

Nowhere that *I* can see does it actually say who CoinTalk is. But it's not the members, who are just content.

Please don't ever do that again !! You just made information available to every bot there is.

 

Hey Burton, why did you post all that info? I'm missing your point.
