    ...u should refrain from referencing his name, im positive he would find it repulsive...u made his last few months miserable, so much so he left the forum which im certain he received enjoyment from until he didnt...try to find some respect n quit coat-tailing on his good name...for that matter u can do the same in regard to referencing my name in ur frivolous ramblings...take this as a formal request....

    ...a very small plane with lidar....

    ...u seek too much...as we have discussed many times, the dispersal of this accumulation is by design...the pural of hoards is hoard...the distribution by dates, mints, grades n denominations will be retrievable eventually...where the coins came from originally (read multi-source) is not relevant ....

    ...n now u know the allure there for USA dealers, buy the raw that will cert high....

    ...i would not consider this coin impaired, there is minimal if any verdigris n questionable if there is staining versus toning, whether it has been cleaned n re-toned is the question n not determinable from photographs/lighting...the coin if straight grades, XF45 n possibly AU50 unless determined to have been cleaned...50/50 on that, the toning pattern a bit iffy....

    ...u can put it on ur epitaph....

    ...sounds like both a tactical n strategic plan...those churchill crowns r much like the ike dollars....

    ...u best hope ur locks havent been changed upon ur return...
  10. zadok
    ...absolutely agree....
  11. zadok
    ...total garbage...u obviously have no concept of how the certification n cross over process works, which is a good thing, just that much less u can muddle up....i have on numerous occasions resubmitted crossed-over coins to the original tpgs n had them re-certified, ever hear of photography?...ever wonder why the tpgs's photograph coins?... and u of one n one half registry sets r going to espouse opinions on registry sets to me?...what a charade...u know running around looking up big words to use in ur missives doesnt mean u know what the words mean, even a bigger charade....

    ...i think PCI had it more correct....

    ...rarity is based upon availability, nothing more nothing less....
  15. zadok
    ...salient is a big boy word, does not apply here...ur "point of reservation" is weakly admissible, cross-over does not "decertify" anything...the coin is simply removed from that current pool...under normal circumstances the original tpgs label is returned to the owner with the crossed-over coin, it is still available n can be re-submitted to the original tpgs for "recertification" at anytime, assuming its still in its original condition...the potential registry set rating remains unaffected....
  16. zadok
    ...a certified ms68 doesnt have to be added to a set to change the possible set rating, it just has to be certified n can sit dormant, just the possibilty of it being added changes the possible set rating....
  17. zadok
    ...not necessarily...rarity is a dynamic measurement, its based on known examples, which can change...pop reports r based on whats been seen/submitted n is also dynamic n constantly changes, but gives the viewer a reference point by which to make determinations on availability...no one really ever knows how many of a given coin is still out there, numbers can change at any time...if after, lets say 100 years, only X number of coins have ever shown up then thats a very strong reference point, barring a mini hoard showing up, of that coins availability...i have often attempted to purchase the majority of several "rarities" , 3 of 5, 1 of 4, 6 of 7, to just see what impact/influence i could exercise on the market in those areas, its been quite satisfying on many diff levels, n in two of those the coins have never shown up in any of the tpgs pop reports to date, read into that whatever one chooses....
  18. zadok
    ...especially their mint n proof sets, some unbelievable colors....
  19. zadok
    ...u prob dont want to go there, least u spend months just defining what is a "stick"...but ur gist that each coin n for that matter each coin series has its "attainability quotient" is correct, the given examples in the comment that u refer to r not comparable...this thread started out as a cripple n is more about labels than coins...the one salvageable point is that "rare" n "scarce" r relatively comparable terms n can be loosely defined in regard to coins....
  20. zadok
    ...so totally wrong doesnt warrant comment nor clarification....
  21. zadok
    ...not so....
  22. zadok
    ...coin rarity assessment changes as additional coins r certified therefore coin points change accordingly....
  23. zadok
    ...the same amount of info i need to purchase my toilet paper....
  24. zadok
    ...what hath the numismatic god wrought?...the concept of registry sets obviously has invigorated n stimulated certain aspects of the hobby, whether its a positive influence is certainly debatable n only time will tell, perhaps when many of the registry number 1 sets r sold we mite get a better understanding of the resultant effects....

    ...he never said anything bout top shelf, that would be reserved for a set of "top pops" only, lets try not to get ahead of ourselves here....
