<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 287958, member: 8033&quot;]Seems you started off with a siimple question, in your opinion and received many insightful answers and opinions in return. I believe my original post was one of them actually.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some, apparently, responded in ways you did not like. Another started a &quot;satirical&quot; thread. That happens you know and YOU did start the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your last post seems more intent on bashing American coins than anything truly usefull.</p><p>Last time I checked CoinTalk was a place to share and exchange opinions not bash one another.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know lots of collectors on a personal basis. Most don&#039;t collect what I do (although mainly American). Lots of Lincoln collectors actually and if they show me a nice set I appreciate and also the pride they have in what they have accomplished as a collector. They, in turn, comment on my type coins although it&#039;s not what they are into. We call it mutual respect.</p><p>Boorish snobs are not wanted in these circles.</p><p><br /></p><p>This weekend I hope to send some of my duplicate Canadian Nickels to Twiggs in Canada (I like Canadian nickels by the way although they are certainly not ancient). Does Twiggs have a collection like mine? nope, but I DO know she likes Canadain coins and am willing to help her out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Liberty has always been a big issue on our coins in our &quot;short&quot; history. Just doesn&#039;t mean much to you. I wonder if Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite means anything to the French?</p><p><br /></p><p>We don&#039;t have coins about&nbsp; particular events? OK all you Commemorative collectors throw yours away as JeromeLS deems them unworthy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally you start tossing out figures of how many coin designs the UK has put out. Why is that? Patriotism? - something you stated you did not want in this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Shall I now go to the ancients forum and start a ripping? No, people collect what they collect and I respect that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
