No both items posted above are items for sale in his e bay store....each item he post in any thread on the forum is nothing more than a lead to the same item for sale in his store.
No items are ever posted to provide any information about the specimen or pertaining to the item other than a lead to the e bay store where it can be purchased.
There are several areas other than the main forum to put items up for sale or trade.
So my point is his posting of said items are just subliminal messages posted in threads in the main forum....unproductive information for members following a thread .

Go to any of his post....and see where it leads

For whatever it's worth Paddy, it's pretty much a certainty that there are a whole lot of people who had no idea that any of the coins he posts pics of were for sale. But they do now because you told the whole world !

And for the record, there is nothing he is doing that breaks the forum rules.

@GDJMSP got after me for having a sales link in my signature. Since he is a firm believer that rules should be enforced equally, I think it is best if it is removed.

No I didn't. I told you I removed your sig line because your sig line did break the rules. This rule -

6 – Signature lines

Signature lines may contain a link to a website which you own or otherwise control, or of your employer. And only links - no text. Signatures are not to be used for advertising pitches. They can however be used for informational statements which reflect your character, or other tasteful information about yourself or your coin collection. Signature lines may never contain political comments be they endorsements and/or derogatory in nature.

Any and all members are permitted by that rule to have a link in their sig line to a sales site they own, or run, or use. But what they are not allowed to do is to add a sales pitch to that sig line. That's the part of the rule you broke. So if you want to have a link to your sales site in your sig line, that's fine. You just can't add a sales pitch to it.

And that applies to everybody, not just you. And you are certainly not the first, nor last, who has had their sig line removed for that reason.

I just picked this S-154 R4+, the last of the Large 8s, up for $46.49. Just under the $50 limit.

This appears at first glance to be worse than it is. The wear patterns are due to buckling of the dies rather than excessive circulation. I suspect it would rate G6 at worst and possibly VG. It is also the latest die state of this variety I have seen. It has all the earmarks of Die State III, the last described in Breen, but the obverse buckling in the right field has been joined by additional buckling in the left Obverse field which obscures L and extends downward through the ribbon and on to the edges of the hair curls. There also appears to be a new die crack from the rim above I through the middle of B back up through E and rejoining the rim above R.

This along with the spreading of the buckling on the reverse to extend all the way to the upright of R and new buckling on the left through to the lower left ribbon would appear to warrant calling this a new Die State IV.

ps There also appears to be a CUD which has formed where the clash marks were previously present on earlier Die States between the right ribbon and the adjoining foot of A. While not unique, it usually occurs at the rims. The exceptions seem to be on the small areas near lettering, or in this case, lettering and the ribbon.

It arrived today. The die break I thought I saw turns out to be two shallow scratches. This may prevent it from being considered a new die state, bur it is the most advanced III I've seen.

Just got a coupon for $50 off a $100 purchase from the local pawnshop (?!). Guess I'll go see what they've got -- stuff's usually marked up, but with that discount there's surely something that'll be worthwhile. But I guess by definition it won't qualify for this thread.

Well, that was more of an odyssey than I would've liked. All the ASEs suddenly disappeared from the store I usually go to. Went to another one about 20 minutes away, picked out a 1g carded gold bar and three silver rounds, almost got them rung up -- and the manager came charging over saying that the deal didn't apply to coins or bullion.

It didn't sound like a very hard or fast rule to me, so I stopped by another (tiny) store this evening. I still had to wait quite a while for them to call around for info about the promotion, but they finally said I was good to go. So:

A cleaned 1956 quarter for $6.88? Not a great deal, but fair admission for a free gram of gold...

I bought this sometime back for $15.

Why don't you post something that "YOU" collect? Every one of your post is nothing more than a billboard of an item" you"re selling " in "YOUR" "E-Bay store!
There quite a few members here who are both dealers and have e bay stores, I don't see them trying to sell in the regular forum, by posting leads to their stores.
Especially when there's is options below to post in that part of this site for selling and trading coins and related items.
It is very distracting to the members, as well unnecessry to post items for sale in the main forum when a sub forum has been set up to do these transactions.

I suspect Paddy54 is sensitive to the fact that your inventory so often ends up being displayed prominently in posts not under the BST forum. I don't think there's a problem with posting the photos as you do, so long as there is no overt offering of the imaged coins as being merchandise for sale.

I will say that the prominence of the link to your website might be as much of an irritant to him (and possibly to others) as anything, as it is sort of "in your face" and, being so bold, it almost feels like it is within the post, but it truly is neither misplaced, nor breaking the rules.

I'm not suggesting you necessarily water down the link to your website, but I'll note that, while I could, I do not use a link like that shown below . . .

ToughCOINS.com

Your past contributions to the site have been informative enough in enough instances that I cannot characterize your membership as being purely for merchandising's sake, but I am just one voice of many.

A little food for thought . . . Being a little more sensitive to the perspectives of others may generate more good will than ill will.

Although I wasn't breaking any rules with my signature, I did reduce the size of it (take a look!). Hopefully this is more amicable for everyone .

$3! My LCS had this marked XF45???

gronnh20 · Feb 15, 2018

Small bank hoard of Roosevelt dimes. I just took quick pics of the obverse. Lot of three won at auction for $31.60.

Marshall · Feb 15, 2018

My birth year is in that lot!

CircCam · Feb 16, 2018

Covered in a trade so it felt free, but $24 for these two:

Replacing in 7070:

What are the indicators for a FS-101 variety?

Endeavor · Feb 16, 2018

$27. In hand, this is a very lustrous cent.

Wow, both nice, especially the upgrade on the '48 Frank - looks like FBL & nice strike!

Omegaraptor · Feb 17, 2018

This one cost me a whole $1.25. For a circulated toner, it is very colorful. The color pops in person, and the photos don’t do this coin justice.

Now if that $1.25 was spent on a lottery ticket...

Wow, perfect amount of wear & toning! Imagine what it's life has been!

Eduard · Feb 18, 2018

I paid 25 pounds for this 1823/2 Cent at a coin show in the UK years ago.
This happened quite a few years ago but even adjusting for inflation it is still a very good find.
It is the overdate variety, Newcomb N-1.
