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. 

No doubt about that.  

Welcome back. 

Use google maps.

Hey I'm back. Hi everybody. Just getting warmed up.

[Your coin underscores the importance of having adequate dentil insurance. 😉 Nice strong strike.] 

[Oops, sorry!  I thought you were talking to me. 😉]

Use Kleen King with your toothbrush. I tried it once and the cent looked brand new, my teeth were so white they glowed in the dark.😎

Right on Alex, these jerks got me suspended once. No sense of humor except for Kurt Von Rickenbacker.😎☘

Agreed.  It is sad that our great hobby is riddled with crooked people who counterfeit, lie, cheat and steal.  But this is not new to coin collecting.  The counterfeiters have been at work, long and hard, since the first coin was hammered.
Our real problem lies in the advance of technology which is making these counterfeiters more proficient in cheating us.  Every year the Chinese outfits produce a better product designed to fool us.  There isn't a day goes by that I don't visit a coin forum only to see the thread 'EBay Fake - Please Report'.  And we do report; day after day and year after year but still they come.  From China, from Europe, from Russia there is always someone trying to get over for those 'Easy Dollars'.
We are a few but we do what we can do.  And it is threads such as this one that remind us to stay alert.  Many thanks to the OP for putting this up.

I want everyone to know that I did sit in on several preliminary meetings of ICTA, the Industry Council for Tangible Assets, where stable ongoing leadership was being chosen and developed. I was invited by a now-former Executive Director. I frankly do NOT share much of ICTA’s ideology, but I was asked to provide a very specific service to that E.D. while Governor Wolf’s first draft budget called for sales tax on ALL coins and bullion. Had that happened, all ANA shows in Pennsylvania were going to be instantly canceled, and preventing that was my own private mission. 
 
This “working for people with whom I disagree” comes naturally to me. It’s called “being a professional”, no less than an attorney representing a client. During much of the last 12 and a half years, I have written and sent out NUMEROUS documents I felt were total BS. My boss wanted them and I supplied them. It’s what people in government often do, or once did. Nowadays, ideological purity is becoming more valued than competence. So I chose to retire to a geographic place AND an ideological metaphorical “place” more in line with my core beliefs. And I can fight the fights I believe in. Can hardly wait.
I have been driving the “snowflakes” I’ve worked with and around absolutely NUTS for quite a few years now. I ran AGAINST my retiring boss in 1992. He admired my work so much he hired me. He and I are now lifelong fast friends and he is welcome in my new home any time. He is retiring after 44 years in the legislature, the final 12.5 of which, I’ve been a trusted advisor. Together, we made an awesome centrist team, something now sadly out of fashion.
Oh, he carries a S&W .38 Special 24/7 too. “...Lemme tell ya, them guys ain’t dumb...” He knows what his district is like.

😭😭 Don't get the snowflakes to crying VKurtB. 😆😆 Them snowflakes want freedom of speech to just be one sided. 

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. 

Taurus revolver in .327 Federal Magnum, for me. Small hole entry, but hollow tips.

Lighten up huh?  If this is getting too much I suggest Coin Talk where all are polite.

On this subject I must agree with VKurtB.  In all the decades I have collected I have only seen a few people charged with crimes against the coin collecting community.
Their sentences were laughable.  The Fed has bigger fish to fry than the EBay crooks; that is the way it is and that is the way it will be.  Besides, name one of us here that is going to go to court with a legal action over a counterfeit coin.  You would have to be rich beyond words to cover the court costs.  Well, just my thoughts on this.  I can remember when I got stung; it wasn't a court of law I was thinking of it was Smith and Wesson.

I do it mostly to trigger Californians. Unclench. 

Uhmmmm....A clarification. The Lulu Lemon air tite comment was "humor." Lulu Lemon sells "yoga" pants and women's items that are so "tite" that no air can get between fabric and skin...It might be possible to read the inscription on a coin ... but I've never tried.

Okayeeeee. Then can we try S-E-R-I-F? That’s the way it’s spelled. Maybe you need far less audio and video, and far more reading in your toolkit. 

They hang out in cherubim bars just before last call. The seraphim all look prettier at closing time. 
This OP is both a COVID superspreader due to never having washed his hands, AND a walking, talking, YouTube video posting DSM-V mental health diagnostic manual subject.
”Delusions of Grandeur”. Look it up.

"Seraph" is a singular "seraphim." These are mythical angelic beings associated with light, ardor, and purity in psudo-christianity. Might have come from the OP's "mystical reading."

Im gonna have to disagree with you Moxie 15. The gold infused Ike's were minted at the north pole. If you don't believe me ask Santa Clause. Im not sure if that's the gold infused one or not. I need about 6 or 8 more pictures of it to look at to make a determination.  

wow Ratzie! You did it this time!!
You found a quintuple struck gold infused hand hammered Eisenhower dollar minted at the Southern Pooh Corner Mint under contract with the San Francisco Mint. There is only one other known in the Christopher Robin Collection of Unknown   Varieties. It was minted with dies cut by Shrek and Son Die Sinkers to the King located in Dulac and silver minted in Mt. Morder.
Absolutely amazing!!

My wife has now virtually slapped you as well.

Maybe a laxative could help....
