There's no crying in coin collecting!

Some of the proposed designs from the mint that people have posted over the past few years have made me cry.

I feel your plight. We all care about how people see us. You feel responsible that you haven’t been seen in you true light. Paddy. Don’t sweat it to much. Cuz when they get to know you They will find out that your of the highest quantity as a New Yorker can get!!! Maybe you can tighten it up a bit BUT. Nah. We love ya. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Are you kidding me. Your a diamond in the ruff with a metal detector

 

Hey you know collecting isn’t about the Benjamin’s

 

Nooope, not when we're talking about proof sets from the 70's, 80's & 90's. Then it's about the Washington's

 

Let's all be honest.
Most of the time we know when we post something that's going to tick someone off.

New folks to the hobby and forums need a bit of slack. It takes time to grow thick skin and a person needs that in this hobby. We need to treat them with kind words and good information about coins. We should correct them when they post wrong information about coins. We should not correct them over petty crap that has nothing to do with coins. Bossing folks around is where things go wrong.

There are nice ways of saying things and there are ways that we know will tick them off.

 

Agree Idhair.

Some have no class. Little men who bully newcomers, because they're weaklings who have been picked on all their life.

They know who they are.

 

What I was trying to refer to in this thread was this.. Even when I do my best to tell a new collector that their coin is not an error they get all crazy sometimes. Yesterday someone told me that I hurt their feelings.. So what am I to do? How am I supposed to respond? Damned if I'm honest damned if I'm not..

There you are. Thanks for you two cents

You know none of us to be making stupid comments. I stay away from your threads.. So please stay out of my threads

 

Paddy.... Your replies are just fine. You can't help that you are a yankee...... I have offended folks here before with what I thought were polite, thoughtful responses..... You never know what's going in in a person's mind on the other end of the web. I understand what you are saying. It sets you back when somebody acts like you hurt their feelings. I am telling you, your replies are just fine.

 

I'll tell you this. When I was maybe twelve, I found a cast Spanish Cobb copy on my school playground. I had been completely engrossed in coins for maybe two years by then and I knew with all my heart and soul that I had found genuine pirate treasure.... Because we all know pirates hid their treasure on Oklahoma school yards, right?.... I defended the authenticity of that piece for maybe two years even though many were gently trying to tell me the reality..... I just say that because I think some folks really get their heart set on the vice-job cent being the most remarkable mint error ever. Then they show it here expecting all of us to tell them what a wonderful find they have. But we don't and as a result they get their feelings hurt. Paddy, I wouldn't give it a second thought.

 

@paddyman98 I'm standing back to back with you OPSEC style buddy! Us damn yankees stick together.

 

As a newbie to this board... dont change your posts or posting habits. There are several people that have stood out to me and I read their posts a little slower than others. You are one of them.

And no... I am not naming the others

 

Stop talking like that Charlie. We do try or best on cointalk. Let the new members grow with us. If you offend someone or miss spoke say you sorry or something that just says OK. Then move on. After all. Does anyone want to hurt ones felling Some say stupid things Then the next day say something brilliant and your back to loving them again
