<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1393924, member: 26302&quot;]First, I have no idea where your &quot;pointless questions and personal anecdotes&quot; attacks come from. What &quot;personal anecdote&quot; did I talk about here? This is one of your favorite lies and accusations to post here. Show it to us, show me the personal anecdote I mentioned on this thread. As to &quot;pointless questions&quot;, I ask questions about &quot;facts&quot; people use here to craft their argument.</p><p><br /></p><p>My POINT was the US was making coinage in FAR FAR FAR larger numbers than any territorial mint, so how could that mint, with its limited mintage and small circulation area, prove anything I don&#039;t even care about the point much. However, to say that government mark of value is simply a &quot;convenient assay&quot; is to ignore the importance of coinage in world history. Its showing your ignorance that this is the last critical part that was achieved in human history to truly achieve coinage, which has freed commerce up from interminable time wasted in assaying metal, weighing every piece of metal for every transaction, prevented fraudulent scales from stealing from people, and generally led to a huge boom in our ability to transact business. </p><p><br /></p><p>For someone on a coin forum to truly be that ignorant of the importance of coinage is scary. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please know that I will continue to call out any misinformation I see posted. I know you would love it if anyone who disagree with you to simply stay silent, and to bow down to your infinite wisdom, but believe it or not most human beings are wrong from time to time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
