Need some advice on a 1962 Proof Set

Hahaha, lighten up! by the way, I hate to tell you, but you're one of the people that I'm referring to when I'm talking about the way you talk down txhe kids in here. Subtle don't work sometimes.
Otherwise? Fugeddaboudit.

You from NY Bill?

 

Why ask? Did I spell it right?

 

Screw it. Guilt in taking a profit on this 1962 proof set after all this emotional iinvesment convinces me to sell it somewhere at what I paid for it originally and donate the proceeds to the American leukemia Foundation, be my good deed for the week. Thanks to all who led me to this conclusion.
Hugs and fishes... problem solved!

 

He's gotta be from NY..........

 

Oh, no.... now you've hurt my feelings! I'm just a teenager, you know, and means you've now done the same as you accuse me of. Hypocrite.

 

Hahahaha.... no way, pal, you shall be tried as an adult! Nyah.

 

I wonder how much I could get in trade if I were to ditch all these coins and start collecting Beanie Babies? Anyone know?

 

Old man being a big meaning to a little innocent child! You, sir, should be ashamed!

 

Hush...

 

All the more reason to frequent this forum. There are several dealers here that would be happy to help you find what you're looking for, but better yet, they'll stand behind the sale as far as authenticity

 

Yes, yet... I find most people are basically extremely honest, even to a fault. The bad ones get the attention because they're so horrific as well as out of the norm, or at least used to be. I saw your replies to the eBay scammer return request incident and they were quite thoughtful. eBay gives the neighborhood a bad reputation, and unfortunately, eBay is a BIG neighborhood. Online relationships are tricky as a result, and your advice is good. Someone you know to have a great interest in what's under the hood of the surface instills a warm fuzzy. I find that most of the scammers or shady folks who just post misleading photos and or descriptions may have 100% or 99.xxxx % positive feedback but not thousands of sales The Internet just speeds things up, both the good AND the bad, and we tend too often to focus on the multiplied bad as it causes so much genuine damage. Just the temper of the times. 10 years from now we won't recognize the prehistoric methodologies we use today, prediction only of course.

 

Thanks for the compliment. I try to be thoughtful as well as polite in my responses as I feel that my words have a permanence when I publish them on the internet.

Most feel that the distance and anonymity protect them from retribution and they may be right, but I prefer to try to be a positive in the world, even when it's not a matter of personal safety.

That said, I apologize for the crack I began with about being puzzled at your inquiry. I am usually better than that.

 

I believe you meant "big meanie"??? It's ok, you are forgiven due to your juvenile status.

 

Thanks, likewise I got snippy, which I apologize for as wekl. Very often though, text based conversations, and even worse, those now peppered with emoticons, emojis and modern mojo do not even begin to serve the needs and purpose of good old fashioned formal language based on the setting. Liken it to "indoors voices" for kids and other unspoken rules for spoken language based on the audience and participants, i.e. if you sit a nun down in the room it changes the whole mood and vernacular patterns, hell, even for the considerate atheist. Worse, online, we don't know who else might be following the thread, nor what hat they might step into the ring wearing. Add everyone's current mood and time zone and whether they shoot from the lip or not, and good luck. Yet, we are enamoured of the global bullhorn, even if all we offer is in fact bull. And there is no hiding from it, no immunity, it goes all the way to the Presidency, shudder. I'd bet that you likely know this, but some people are not aware that the Library of Congress is saving everyone's tweets and has been for years with the intentions of indexing them someday. From what I understand they have run into a few snags and are behind somewhat. Imagine that. Should intelligent beings someday visit us, I hope they don't read all of mine.

 

You'll only encourage him! He's already too dang smart as it is...

 

I hope they don't either. Lol.
Now that's how to joke around a bit, by simple agreement.

 

In 1962, those were $2.10 per set from the US Mint. I bought 5 sets.
Wow what a retirement investment.
