"diecoattomatic"? I can tell you're trying to say something about copper, and I can see reddish blurs in the photos. Can you take another swing...
You know, if someone takes an old US coin, and overstrikes it with a design that was never actually minted -- I don't think it matters whether...
How do you get it from the dentist's office into the crucible? Do you dry it before you start heating it, to make sure that included water doesn't...
Boy, I wish I could hit the Hagerstown show. I still remember going to my first show at the Venice with my brother and my grandfather. I must've...
Then he can go be right somewhere else, as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather hang out with fallible but considerate and patient people, instead of...
Well, then, my work here is done. Before I turn into that stick-figure guy, I'm going to go out for a long bike ride in the nice weather. I'm...
I resent that implication. Anyone who's seen me try to draw anything will tell you that I'm no artist of any stripe.
Collected, averaged, percentages computed. What more do you want, this early in the game? Apparently not. It'll be hard to tell what each seller...

You'll have to go back to the oldest threads to fully appreciate the reference -- he came a long way during the time he was active here. (He did...
Nothing here, as I've often complained, even though my buying has fallen back to perhaps one-tenth what I was spending when I was getting the offers.
My point is that these same arguments apply to impaired coins. Or overgraded coins. Yes, people die, or leave the hobby for other reasons. Yes,...
Then perhaps I've lost sight of what the issue is. Your point, as best I can understand it, is that these fantasy restrikes -- even though...
This is getting a bit silly. What are my responsibilities, today, to make sure that nobody pays original-skin money for my cleaned or damaged...
Separate names with a comma.
