Without pictures of the errors or varieties I would forget about it. Those few pictures they posted show very little...IMHO

 

This is just my opinion, but Facebook isn't any better than Craigslist.

garbage.

"lots of memorials"?
Go to the bank, they have plenty

 

Too much risk for me.

 

I seen the images late last night and it looked like Coneca #1 .
Same as this thread .

Facebook - the place where people go to permanently destroy their personal privacy in bizarre and irretrievable ways, subject to the perverse whims of a Harvard-educated megalomaniac.

 

*cringe*

 

What makes ME cringe is absolutely any thread where ANYBODY can with good conscience write anything resembling this:

"because there is money to be made and lots of it"

As far too many here seem to do. ALL the wrong motivations, in my opinion. Not healthy for the hobby. If you're just here trying to turn a buck, "you're not doing it right".

I "HAVE SEEN" a good many things, but when I start using "I seen", it's time to take a .45 slug to the brain.

 

No meat on the bone for me .......

 

The more I collect and research, the more I realize that one is far more likely to see overpriced coins on forums like CL, FB and other places folks post things for sale that they or their potential customers have little numismatic knowledge.
I sometimes amuse myself by browsing the listings. One post of particular note was a guy trying to sell a "Rare" 1916 Lincoln "Penny" for $500.00 or best offer. Considering it was probably VF, I considered offering 99 cents, but figured the joke would fall on deaf ears anyway.

 

I literally have no idea what that even means.

 

I was talking about the coin in this thread ..
To small of a DDO for me .....

 

Oh, that explains it then. As a hyper-aggressive intentional Facebook non-participant, I never was able to see it.

By the way, in addition to being "Facebook intolerant", I am equally "Google intolerant", as well as "Microsoft As Little As Possible" tolerant. I am "ALL APPLE, ALL THE TIME".

 

It only lasted a couple of hours, then images disappeared ..

 

There are plenty of outlets to buy coins from. Facebook ain't one of them.

 

I started with a Lisa, then a Mac in 1984; tried a few Windows machines along the way. In all I suppose I've owned a couple dozen Apple computers.

I don't like the direction Apple has taken. While I understand that, like any other company, they are dedicated to their stockholders and the bottom line, it's clear to me that the company would very much appreciate my abandonment of my 2011 iMac for the next generation iPhone. As I grow older I need a bigger screen, so, to those friends who tell me I should get with it, I guess I will when Apple makes an iPhone with a 21-inch screen. I'm NOT "all Apple all the time." Sorry for the thread crap.

 

What are some of the more popular coin outlets here at Cointalk?

 

For my Mac fullblown computer, I use a Mac Mini, which allows me, with the DisplayPort/Thunderbolt 2 to RGB adapter, to use nearly any monitor my little heart, or the job at hand, desires. I've never owned a "screen included" Macintosh in my entire life, and I've owned a slew of them.

 

I've had 3 Minis... great little machines; I used Samsung monitors on mine. The iMac allows the user to lose a few cables, though, but I think these new fancy screens on the entire line are gilding the lily.
