Going through his 6 pages worth of topics, I have counted at least 12 threads that he has started about this coin. https://www.ngccoin.com/boards/profile/51302-ratzie33/content/?type=forums_topic

5 to 15 years ago, there wasn't much need for moderation. Withing the last few years, the trolling, rude remarks and overall tone of the forum has drastically changed that. With that said, the last week has been good. Ironically, this happened right after dena bumped her thread, reminding people of the rules, and some people stopped posting. It's amazing that a few people can change the forum this much. Thank you, dena.

Back in the 70's I saw an ad in a magazine about the 1943 copper cent. They were paying 10K at that time. I have been looking over my change every since. Although, I think the odds are better at winning the Powerball, than finding one...

(1) Wait a second Dena....if "going forward we will just delete entire threads" then you WILL be letting troublemakers derail threads. If a troll hopped onto the Roger Burdette Saint Gaudens Book thread and you delete it, invaluable information is lost to all the innocent parties (and future readers) who can't see it. This is why I asked about saving as a PDF a thread's content. (2) I myself haven't seen anything that would rise to a serious TOS violation in the threads I am active in (admittedly, I can't read everything here). I think it would be useful that if you see someone violating a TOS...post in the thread (highlight it in Red and quote the offending comments if you delete the original) and state that if a future post or comment violated TOS that a suspension will be forthcoming. (3) Let someone know they have crossed the line. Passions can get high, mostly on coin debates, but if things go off-topic or personal, give them a chance to correct the mistake. (3) Whatever you do, please don't punish innocent posters/readers of these forums. Deleting active threads or threads with fantastic information can simply not be replicated. We have some VIPs who graciously donated their time to make fantastic comments (like RWB) and to eliminate their comments would be a crime. Thanks for considering my views, Dena. I don't think this is what Dena has in mind. I think she means all of the offending persons posts will be removed, when derailing someone's thread.

Thanks for the contest, and congratulations to the winner.

Count me in!

Do the price of Saint Gaudens coins fluctuate when gold prices substantially rise or fall?

Thanks for the great thread, @brg5658

One of the benefits of this is to protect people from purchasing a "Fantasy" coin, thinking it's the real thing. I realize Mr Carr discloses but, what happens when the buyer sells? Is disclosure guaranteed? They should have the word copy stamped onto them.

I'm not seeing that. I'm not seeing it, either.

Dena: I was wondering why we can't see WHO reacted to our posts? As Goldfinger1969 mentioned, It is easier and cuts down on posts by simply using the reaction feature. An example would be me asking a question. When I received a reply, I could click thanks on his post. That way the person could see that I am thanking him. The way it is now, I would have to quote to be sure the person knew I had acknowledged his post. As is, it is somewhat useless.

I got the same treatment. I agree, those threads need to go.

This is cool. I love the colors.

I usually get to Florida a little late to attend FUN. It looks like I will be down there in time this year. However, if the virus situation doesn't get better, I will not be attending.

Yeah, I got my old avatar, too. I think this is the learn the ropes section.

Thanks for the bump. Buzz!

I am a huge fan of gold but, never desired to own it for use in trade for necessities.
