  1. ...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....
  2. ...coin rarity assessment changes as additional coins r certified therefore coin points change accordingly....
  3. ...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....
  4. ...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....
  5. ...and then he had to sell tiffany's to...wait for it, Avon...the cheap perfume in a bottle maker, impressive...at least its back in the classy world now, although owned by the french....
  6. ...hmmmm, so balto left before togo gave him the serum...sounds like balto dropped the baton n every one died....
  7. ...oh spare us odin from the unwashed...i think the lithium cousins oxide, chloride, stearate, hydride mite disagree or maybe there has been too much usage of the carbonate cousin...n im sure many high speed trains n aircraft would take exception to such slander....
  8. ...hmmm, i always thought that smell there at buzzards bay was from the fish who knew eggs too n then there were the skirted hustlers at the local pool hall there but i digress...im thinking best place to store coins is coppers to the red states n silver to the blue states n gold ill store in boxes upstairs under the guest bed c.o.d. shipments accepted....
  9. ...no i didnt mean delete a thread from where everyone else cant see it, i meant why cant they make it where u can delete from ur own presentation so u dont have to access it to get it off ur screen in bold print, so u can just relegate it to the trash bin...get it out of the way, similar to how u can ignore someone's inputs...we dont want to step on someone's 1st amendment rights, unless its to exercise ur own 2nd amendment rights....
  10. ...followers not a priority n meaningless...i post very very few coins for very very good reasons...i have posted a couple over the years, hopefully long forgotten by now, ditto topics...S&W irrelevant, style of no importance to me...style is usually associated with buffoonery n hacks of which this forum has an excess of...dont come to a wit fight half prepared....
  11. ...there was nothing misleading in that particular column, it was mostly reflections n comments, but u always need to ask urself what is the underlying reason for any column...just as u need to ask urself why certain individuals always need to take negative swipes at everyone else besides themselves...we all know the answer, but u need to keep reminding urself of the reasons....
  12. ...GF has a "classic dryer" its the St Gaudens UHR model... (2) yes 3 of... (3) sold no, produced yes...
  13. ...operative words..."coins are made of"...basics; durability/survivability, cost, intrinsic value...u r prob remembering other metal families that r highly reactive...sodium, potassium e.g....coins made out of sodium u need spend ur money fast n not on a rainy day....
  14. ...is there a way to totally delete an entire thread, ones that serve no beneficial purpose n just clutter up the menu?...if not why not?...it would be most helpful....
  15. ...ur last sentence more accurate than u know...in some instances, liberty seated or bust issues the particular die pairing or varieties r unknown in unc, the $$$ differential between an au55 n an xf40 is commensurate with the diff between ms n au in other series....
