"Proof"? Indeed!

The second one is my favorite, took him a day after the grade was revealed.

 

Oh, Oh, Oh, but he didn't see those reveals, guys. No, see, he just saw the coin and posted his grades. He doesn't have time to read all these posts. He's a busy and important man.

 

He graded the third one on his private plane while curing cancer

 

No it was while lying on the beach in Aruba!

 

Look guys, one thing I have observed is that Mr. Ed's behavior is typical of many here including me. I can pick almost any GTG thread and show that many of us continue to comment on coins after the grade is revealed.

The guy is a grading genius! He got three out of three and there must be more examples that were not linked.

I believe we have a special opportunity here to learn from "the horse's mouth" by asking "Mr. Ed" direct questions rather than making fun of him. Perhaps a member can post a GTG and ask our "Stallion Grader" to lead the heard by an educated post about why he gave the coin the grade he did. BTW, we all should benefit from that approach. Then after Mr. Ed posts, we all can.

This is a difficult challenge for anyone using just an image. I should be surprised if any member besides Mr. Ed can get even 3 for 10 correct. There are folks on another forum that go 7 to 10 out of 10! I'll bet Mr. Ed is one of them. And...since I proposed this "challenge," PM as soon as Mr. Ed posts and I'll go second as I'm not afraid to prove I'm an ignorant, dumb fool when it comes to GTG.

Until then, I'll start off with a direct question addressed ONLY to Mr. Ed: What magazine did you "pull" the image of the green Mazda sports car out of?

 

I asked a serious question in post #217 for the expert.

OMG, you've got my colors and emojis raging - On no.


You have got to be kidding. Serious? I disagree! I thought you had joined in with more ridicule in the humorous joke-fest the OP has started.

IMO, that is a worthless corroded example of a coin (?) that only a Colonial or Large cent expert could ID or even be interested in and I don't care if it is a starred reverse or some UNIQUE (that means the only one) round piece of corroded copper that has proven to be the first coin struck off the first press at the opening ceremony at the first mint and struck By GW himself!

I'd sell it to one of those experts in a heartbeat rather than use it as a GTG or what'sit just to prove NOTHING. BTW, I don't wish to know what it is either and I'm glad Mr.Ed didn't respond to that nonsense!

Now as I suggested, why not post something of use for Mr. Ed to grade.

 

To answer Insider's question, a reverse image search via google shows mr. ed's car photo here:
