But I just cannot be silent.

I, myself have a small proof Ike set in the registry. By its very nature the set is small, only 11 coins. My set is currently ranked number 7 and over these past couple of years I have worked very hard to get to that number seven spot. If Mr. PK thinks he can do better... I invite him to try.

I must say that I did not need anybody to push me along. Frankly, as a big burley trucker, I would feel like "pushing" someone's face into the ground if they said "buy some real coins" or "buy 70's" or anything along that line. I am quite happy with the status of my collection. I don't need some half illiterate two-bit snob telling me what I should do.

Again, my apologies, as I know this is not the place to get huffy, so in closing... Mr. PK... next time I want your opinion.... I'll give it to you.

One of my proof Ike's in this small (and to some, meaningless) set.
