<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4601713, member: 26302"]Wow. I guess PC correctness extends to coin forums now. You say you are new, you haven't seen good natured ribbing that goes back and forth.

I did not wish for US collectors to read it, since I was afraid they would misinterpret it as you have done. It was good natured ribbing of what their area calls "rare" versus what we are used to dealing with. Heck, being a Central Asian collector I could make fun of Roman collectors, and how easy it is to find their coins versus Central Asian ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for my background, I was a US collector for over 20 years, mainly early halves, but own a flowing hair type set and all three 1793 cents, am still a colonial note collector. So I have been called unsophisticated by ancient collectors, a rag picker by coin collector, etc. As long as it's not mean spirited I consider it hobby humor. </p><p><br /></p><p>It really is a "woe is us, we wish we had their "rarity" problems" lol type of post.
