LMFAO!!! Denver mint!!!! HAHA!!

 

I hope you have change.

 

That is a bargain. Just try to get a coin of his uncle Sauron I.

 

Sauron I was an usurper, not worth collecting any of his coinage. Neron IV's father ruled a few days before being killed by the infamous Sauron, under the name of Sidvicius. Few people know his last words, while dying at the age of 24 : "no future !" he said (I know, I was there)

Q

 

Ken and TIF have the matter exactly as I see it except, I believe, TIF misses the point that there is one fool in a million who will bite no matter how stupid it seems. Before the Internet you had to stick a stamp on a thousand price lists and hope someone would order your coins. Now e-stamps are free and you can set a million baitless hooks with reasonable chance you will snag one fish by accident.

I agree with TIF to the point that I'm ready to start ignoring people who ask if the coin they bought from a guy wearing a sign "I sell fakes" might be worth buying. I wonder if we need to start teaching a kindergarten class called "Don't be Stupid" in the hope the next generation will have some common sense.

 

Is that the Nero IV Baggins, great-great-great-great-great grandson (by marriage) of Bilbo Baggins of the great house of Narnia?

 

Doug,
Unfortunately, given the deliberate dumbing-down of education over the last generation, it may well take another whole generation - or more - before critical thought and rational problem-solving again become practiced and recognized on any widespread basis.

 

It kind of gives an insight into the loss of intellect after the fall of Rome. Much of the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, especially with regard to abstract or academic matters was lost for generations in much of the known (Western) world.
