The gods of spelling force me to point out that it’s “out of the chute”.

Yes, it might fix it, but toward what end? The service is more expensive than the coins would be worth. 

So is this Ratzie33 under a pseudonym or just a “brother from another mother”? Where on earth do belief systems like these even come from?

You’re a lumberjack? Are you okay?

Just as well. “I don’t often drink whiskeys, but when I do, it’s usually Kentucky bourbon.” Even good Scotch gives me hiccups. I’ve never learned to sip it correctly. 

C’mon, Mod, we all know what’s really up. You’re selling off some stuff to add to your Single Malt Scotch Whisky stash, right? 

well, not sure I can line up behind that statement. I collect for pleasure not profit and a sticker does not bring me pleasure at all. If stickers and holders give you pleasure than I hope you enjoy, personally I do not care if some guy I do not know likes a certain coin or not, If I like it or not is my concern.

Debate is a kind way of putting it.  Many just flat out get rude.  Always makes me laugh.  Someone asks a question gets multiple of the same answer and wants to argue.  Makes me wonder why they asked if they already "know" what they have.  

You are "tired" ot the TPGs?  Without an NGC or ATS grade you cannot get a CAC sticker.  Without a CAC sticker you are just losing money.
I personally have been, in the past,  against the NGC and PCGS TPGs because I was happy with ANACS & before that ANA.  However, now they are a necessary evil.

Some of our members are lacking in humor and imagination. I myself am dashing headlong into curmudgeonhood. It’s a sad tale, but a common one. I am ohhhh, let’s call it “intrigued” by your project. I have certain reservations about it, but I see the need every bit as much as you do, so that alone makes me not dismiss it out of hand.

Part of the territory, if you think about it.

Merely stating my preference of personal protection weapon in response to the post directly above it. I am aware that as a New Yorker, your experiences are vastly different from those in both states I will have lived in this year. Both are “shall issue” concealed carry states, both specifically ALLOW hollow point ammunition, and both have fully robust “stand your ground” laws, and not only of the “affirmative defense” variety, but the “D.A. doesn’t charge at all” type. I like states like mine, and wouldn’t live in NY if I was paid to.

Normally hard capsules won’t do this, UNLESS those capsules are, in turn, in a PVC-laden page, something I have seen frequently.

I’ve been a “take no BS (or PC) from anybody” type of person since I was a kid. I’m an Eagles fan. Call it a cultural imperative. You know how Bear Bryant said linebackers had to be “hostile, agile, and mobile”? I was essentially born with the first third of a linebacker. Age has not mellowed me. 

You live where and how you want, and I’ll live where and how I want, okay? Just because I have to pass through 324 miles of your state to get to my new home doesn’t mean I care to live like a resident there. I’m officially an Alabaman now, for better or for worse. The beard may become “re-enactor fodder” with the proper shaping, dontcha think? It’s at least as good as Martin Sheen’s Robert E. Lee one already. 

Baltimore does have some nice and inexpensive hotels, though. Walking distance to the expo center. The best parking rate is a lot just a block and a half north of the show, middle of the expo hall.

There is a completely serious proposal to make Rosemont the exclusive site of the August ANA show, and let the early spring one move around, starting in 2024. If that happens, Central States may fade away. Both are heavily dependent on Chicago Coin Club for volunteers. 

Whitman shows in Baltimore fill the space, but the bugaboo there is how the dealers clear out seriously early. You really need to go to Whitman shows on Friday.

ANA so far has never failed to sell out the available bourse space, but fewer and fewer dealers are being turned away. What used to be a “seller’s market” for bourse space is now a struggle to get fully subscribed. Central States is reportedly shrinking fast. I do not personally know, never having been to one.

Either and both. Counterfeiting of actual spendable cash is one of the Secret Service’s original jurisdictions. Fighting the counterfeiting of collectable coins is a mission of essentially no one. They all have “bigger fish to fry”. The FBI simply does not care. They’re too busy framing public figures.

There is the rub, IMHO. The over application of the latter often burns down the former. I offer as evidence the entire millennial generation.
