Yes agree this message board has a number of those (quote trolls, griefers) I would say about 4 fairly obnoxious active ones (decided to block them). I have decided go to more of a lurker / in the background operational (intel) mode. Then perhaps occasional short, concise post.

I rarely post anymore.
Too many plastic/sticker collecting Wus-it-wurfs & profiteers.
They all seem to know more about the coins I collect than I do.

Don't forget about Izzy Switt's friend at the Mint, Mr. Mc Cann, who obtained XX number of Saints for him in exchange for a little extra pocket (drinking) money. Given how many were discovered by his heirs, I should think it reasonably safe to assume that Switt obtained more than the grouping that was found. How does this reconcile with the accounting on the 43-piece estimate?

It’s known that Switt had obtained more than the 10 coins which were found in the deposit box. The ones that were confiscated from collectors decades ago had also been traced to him. However, those combined numbers still don’t approach a total of 43.

From my studies of the Langbord matter (limited though they may be, particularly compared to those of some here), I should think he (very) conservatively had a minimum of 20 if not more- and not from the same bag referenced in the 43-coin theories. Remember this is the same guy who was supposedly melting a bag of hot Saints (not 33s) in his basement as agents were entering upstairs to ask about them.

Dang, I thought I was on the wrong thread....

@WQuarterFreddie I'm glad it hasn't been shut down. Important matters of both customer service and courtesy are being discussed.

@Bikergeek Thank you, thank you, thank you. We geezers gotta stick together, no?

Apparently, eBay has become fed-up with the "know-it-alls" who are always complaining about their coin listings.
