<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 7618547, member: 93702&quot;][USER=41219]@furryfrog02[/USER]&nbsp; - I like and respect you - but come on... Frank makes a lot of jokes when he describes coins... I find myself actually reading every coin description at every auction he releases... its unique and mostly very funny.&nbsp; Some fall flat (to me anyway) - some are absolute classics.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read descriptions of coins I have no intent on ever bidding on. .. just for the enjoyment of his wit.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>A couple of examples </b><font size="3">(the coins I show are not the ones at his auction - but the same types - for reference. First is mine.. second is not)</font><b>:</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1311201[/ATTACH]</p><p>M. Sergius Silus denarius as &quot;Robert Mueller, helmeted, on horseback l., holding up sword and severed head of [you can imagine the rest]&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Next example:</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1311200[/ATTACH]</p><p>------</p><p>He&#039;s great.... it goes on and on...</p><p>The particular coin discussed in the original thread (satyr) has always been a target of his... previously mentioning a Clinton/Lewinsky connection and many other forms of sexual innuendo. He does it ALL the time with that coin - why? Why not ? - its a tough coin to describe generally - so some humor is pretty cool... if he crossed your personal line - ok! Of course it will offend someone!! Apparently we are a very fragile people!!</p><p>If you are offended then scroll on or don&#039;t bid. This is the proper response - not an attempt to make it a public issue. He will not change and nor should he. Its his business and he can conduct it as he likes... he is not breaking any laws...cool thing about being old - you can be cancelled and not even care (or not even know for that matter). He is a good, fair and respected person - anyone who states otherwise is just jumping on a soap box. As far as #MeToo goes.. I have a daughter entering Law School and another going into Nursing .. they don&#039;t require coin descriptions to fit their life view. Its just noise to them.. they have bigger targets in their sites....</p><p>Probably won&#039;t get many likes for this post - but that&#039;s what usually happens when you just state the facts as you know &#039;em without worrying about the new popular opinion... all good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
