Distance for DMPL?

If you guys gave the other $100 they'd complain that it was all in $20s.

Calling people names and falsely associating me with a random CU troll is hilarious on your part. I’ve already posted my CU account; I haven’t seen yours though. Funny how you turn to trolling when your propaganda is torn apart.

 

Now that is funny!
Not liking $20s, I’d donate them to Kurt’s campaign for ANA president.

 

Yawn

 

Not at all. I am just interested in legitimate discussions. A few members here seem to have gotten very upset for pointing out their limitations and have chosen to start trolling me for months now, there's no reason to take them seriously. Why they hate PCGS and CAC so much I don't know. Their little troll group makes it very difficult to have legitimate discussions

 

A+ trolling effort. Keep up the great contributions to this forum.

 

No, I do NOT think you make stuff up, far from it, because I remember reading some of the exact same stuff you have. The difference is I let it go, because I have no expectation of it being even stable much less eternal. You simply have to never stop reading and learning the new ways. What is leading YOU to lead others astray, is an expectation of stability.

 

Doug, I am nowhere near as troubled by the lack of consistency in this hobby’s standards as you are. I’ve become resigned to the fact that is actually the very essence of this hobby. Nothing is ever constant. Everything is always changing. Now..., is that an invitation for mischief? Oh my goodness, yes. In fact, I suggest that is the whole point. I believe that “ethics” and “numismatics” have a disturbingly small intersection set, and the proverbial “powers that be” pretty much want it EXACTLY that way. How else could the unholy alliance of dealers and graders extract maximum possible value from unwary collectors, that which I believe is the ONLY true goal?

Cynical? Not nearly enough, Doug, not nearly enough. In this hobby, NO ONE is on “your side”. No one is trying to help enrich YOU, they’re all trying to enrich THEMSELVES at your expense.

 

By your own concerns your own grading standards are completely irrelevant then as well. You didn't learn the 1910s system of grading, or the 1880 system, or the midevil system ect. It has ALWAYS been changing and had changed countless times before you were ever born to learn what you did. This is exactly Kurts point, you seem to act like that you learned the best way and everything else is bad because it isn't yours and use change as an excuse.

EVERY one of your complaints (which aren't even that accurate with today's grading) apply to the system you were brought up on. There would have been people just like you 50 years ago, a 100 years ago, a 1000 years ago, if there were internet forums at the time complaining about change and living in the past.

Until you realize that the standards you were brought up on went through the same changes and are subject to the same always true complaints you keep making it's hard to take your issues seriously.

If you do realize that then why is it fine for what you learned but not now?

 

I just threw all my coins down the toilet. So depressed.

 

If you want to teach them how things were or how things have changed, then yes, past methods can be used in education. But if you want to teach them how things are, (i.e. current standards) then no, you can lead them to believe something that is no longer true. Agreed?

 

How on earth would you know that? Have you ever actually owned a UDM? It takes mirrors that are stronger than a proof Morgan to get that designation. Ive owned one, @ddddd has also. Its obvious that you dont even collect dmpl Morgans, ALL you do is parrot others on the CU forum. Youre just some kid troll who collects PCGS-70 ASEs
I can post photos of PL/DMPL Morgans straight from my box of 20- Can you?????

 

I have no idea what “my box of 20” even means.

 

The storage boxes hold 20. Some people decided to thin their collection to the best coins they could fit in one box aka box of 20. A quality over quantity approach

As far of the rest of what he said just pure trolling as usual

 

It’s a box of 20 coins. Some people like the type set way of collecting where there is no defined set, just 20 coins that you find most appealing.

 

The ONLY workable defense against what I believe is the essential nature of this hobby is what I do - MINIMIZE, to the extent possible, my nexus to traditional dealers AND third party graders. They are NOT there to help me, they are there to bleed me dry.

 

Its your collection of more valuable, higher end (slabbed coins) that fit neatly in ONE box..Mine all reside in a tupperware in my safe. @lordmarcovan has one of the more famous box of 20 collections here on CT

 

Typical post. You can’t back up your claims so you just turn to name calling. How about calling people racists again? That worked well for you last time.
