  1. ...moral...dont believe everything u read, including lots of the other stuff...its often just opinions....
  2. ...as you respected ol' hoopster...yea i will remember that...all in time....
  3. ...as forrest said...s-t-u-p-i-d is as s-t-u-p-i-d does...u have none, i stand by that likening n u definitely know nothing of the last...all in time....
  4. ...very thoughtful suggestion but he is more like a STD all the normal remedies dont work...its like dry rot u have to just cut it out...but there is hope on the horizon, all in time....
  5. ...oh QA its much more than any board guidelines as u well know...all in time....
  6. ...yep, just following thru on a promise i made....
  7. ...sadder n sadder, ur continued references to the "well-liked member" is shameful...he couldnt stand ur presence on the forum n justifiably so...very doubtful anyone here will refer to u in the same manner...too bad the moderators r so indifferent to the wishes of the aforementioned departed member, guess they r starving for participants....
  8. ...one of many, many rarity scales put forth...this one not universally recognized nor utilized...there is no standard to determine true rarity, in many instances there r rarity scales (R) for virtually every different denomination or series of coins n thats just for US coinage...totally futile effort....
  9. ...u would need to go n research/study the coinage issued under the Latin Monetary Union to find ur answer...bit too expansive to list here...lets just say the 20 franc n its gold weight was the "euro before the euro"...napoleon's attempt to standardize continental currencies....
  10. ...they r not so political...very much pro-history of US coinage n at least understand that there is no hobby if there r no collectors....
  11. ...a stud without studs, im surprised they let u in...the exhibits r usually the highlites....
  12. ...u have to remember when there u r in US Olympics territory another very woke organization....
  13. ...feeble...so sad....blast from the past? sounds more like a dump from the rump....
  14. ...woke instead of awake is the current mantra, until it isnt when all the wheels n cogs cease to function...just look at the sanctuary cities, no one would live there if it werent subsidized...to numismaticize, look at the recent list of coin designs submitted in the recent survey...pathetic....
  15. ...disregarding the above non-comment, u would be correct it is not a die crack....
  16. ...as many long time members have known for years, even decades, the ANA has never been in the game...always leading from behind, always playing catch-up...their members have actually led for them, as u r well aware not too long ago a majority of the board was there only for self advancement of their own interests, members were the least of their concern, it has little improved but is still back in the 20th century...sadly, its the only organization we have....
  17. ...actually laughable if it werent so sad...dont get in too far over ur head....
  18. ...interesting in that the US mint produced 15,000,000 coins for Serbia in 1917...guess director of mint et al didnt have final say on the matter....
  19. ...again more babble saying nothing...sad...definitely something/somebody needs relieved, if only we had that option, but is what it is...we really need a wider variety of emojis here....
  20. ...yea mark writes lots of those short articles on whats out there thats not always obvious to the collectors that mite be looking for something to collect, operative word "collectors"...many of his articles r collector based as opposed to investor related n definitely not dealer related...the hints in this article r "bargain" n "common", this particular series allows the collector to feed his collector habit at relative low expense n not a difficult series to search for, the coins r basically common bullion coins n easily obtainable in mint state, if one chose to he/she could complete the entire set in a month or two, if funds available, only one semi-key date n it shows up in lower mint state the rest routinely mid-grade mint state...there r several diff series that fit this same bill, netherlands 10 gulden comes to mind n a few others...plus as mark mentions it gets ur foot thru the gold door if one is so inclined....
