I like your signature:-). If I put my mug on a slab no one would buy it.
I'd keep it just for it's unusual date!

I don't think there's any need to apologize. I personally didn't take offense to the title of the thread, just made a comment about the choice of...
After a few glasses of scotch my Lincolns start to look like indians:-)
I agree that it's not about anyone in particular. If I was a coin dealer trying to make a living buying and selling coins I'd be a failure:-)
