Upon viewing the initial post, I was tempted to cite a legal response which would have been in agreement with an individual who was almost immediately verbally confronted by others who expelling irrelevant tripe. I considered a mediating post, but realized that logic often isn&#039;t a meaningful tool for establishing objectivity on this site. I viewed the heated meandering thread until I saw your original post which was virtually totally what I would have stated. </font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I knew from </font><font face="Arial Black">previously viewed </font><font face="Arial Black">idiotical subjective statements by some thread principals who seem to enjoy ridiculous responses, that you would be virtually urinating against an overpowering breeze, in presenting truths. Your following arguments, </font><font face="Arial Black">regardless of subjective responses by some &quot;critics&quot;,</font><font face="Arial Black"> were of value/logic/patience, for which I have appreciation</font><font face="Arial Black">. I agreed with the majority of your presentations, and would probably have posted similarly.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"></font><font face="Arial Black"> I must take exception to the argument that mint issued items </font><font face="Arial Black">(e.g. ASE, AGE, etc.)</font><font face="Arial Black"> aren&#039;t acceptable monetary exchange. Whether the mint has constructed the &quot;monetary item&quot; of Gold, Silver, Steel, Paper, Plastic, or any other material, I believe you will find that if the government has &quot;authorized&quot; issue, the items are acceptable monetary exchange media.&nbsp; It is especially&nbsp; acceptable if the monetary value is embossed/printed, regardless of whether the recipient recognizes the item. A typical example of questionable &quot;currencies&quot; are the numerous intermediary stamps issued by USPS which don&#039;t have a face value shown. I&#039;ve gone to the post office on several occasions, being challenged by postal employees about the worth of my unvalued stamps, where a lengthy&nbsp; search ensued to determine postage value. Several items of U.S. currency were issued with questionable value </font><font face="Arial Black">(e.g. three cent, half dime), and probably wouldn&#039;t be recognized today, yet are acceptable monetary media. </font><font face="Arial Black">Regardless of recipient recognition, I believe you&#039;ll find the aforementioned items to be acceptable payment exchange.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I&#039;m known by many in my community as having an understanding of monetary exchange items, and I&#039;m often asked by local individuals to identify payment items received as exchange, tips, etc.. I&#039;ve seen some unusual payments, as a postal employee asking me about the 3 ASE she received for a $2+ payment, or waitresses who had received Indian cents, Buffalo nickels, </font><font face="Arial Black">Barber or Mercury dimes, etc.. I know businessmen who constantly acquire Franklin and Kennedy Silver coins that aren&#039;t recognized by bank employees, showing me their unrecognized treasure.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">Thanks for trying to guide/mediate a seemingly hostile meandering thread.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">:bow:</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
