<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3087531, member: 19463"]<i>IMHO</i> GDJMSP is 100% correct and I'll go farther and say anyone who pays 2 cents for a one cent coin seems a little iffy as well. Today I sent a coin off in the mail to a friend who said he was sending me a check for it today also. I might be out the price of the coin. Fools we are. I will tell you one thing: There are about a dozen of the CT ancients community that would hurt me a great deal more when I found out they were crooks than it would hurt me to lose a VF RR denarius. I'm not worried. I collect coins for a hobby. GDJMSP does not. He runs an Internet facility where he is exposed to the scum of the earth on a daily basis. I correspond on and off list with fiends in Asia, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe and a dozen states I will never again set foot upon. I also collect people - nice people. He fights off hackers and slackers. I hit the Ignore button and people I don't like go away. I like my hobby better than his hobby. I was considering giving away some junk coins a couple years ago but then we had that incident where someone took a CT giveaway and listed it on eBay. I guess that is what I learned out of that is you are a fool to give away something that you value even a little to someone who thinks it is just money. What do you think these things are anyway.......Coins? If only we had a way of separating the people who think coins are just money from those who see them as more. If you found that confusing, you probably disagree with my choice of hobbies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
