Message:: [QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2511527, member: 4781"]There is your favorite word again: "hypocrisy". <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> On a whim, because it was easy, I did a search for posts by BooksB4Coins containing the word "hypocrisy". There are 25 such posts on record. And none of those are quoting someone else's use of the word. I couldn't find any other member here who has used it more than a couple times on record (not counting posts that quote your use of the word). Readers here can draw their own conclusions from that. It doesn't seem like you understand the meaning of the term "generic" as applied to silver rounds. My post in this thread had "generic" in quotation marks as an indication of what I think other people would probably call it. Fine craftsmanship is an "art". The silver round in the original post is not bad. But it does not have a high degree of craftsmanship, and so it is of "generic" quality. It has also been produced in large quantities, and so it is of "generic" quantity. But the main reason that it would be considered to be in the "generic" class is that it generally would not sell at auction for much more than the melt value. Several similar rounds have sold recently on eBay for about $20 to $22. There haven't been any "Carr" 1-oz silver pieces in the last month that have sold on eBay for less than $50. Most were about $60 to $150.[/QUOTE]
