Something about getting their post count up. At least that’s what I read somewhere.
Other times it’s to show off some coins from their collections. If you can’t show them off, then, what can you do with them ?
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

@crazyhounddog . Your nicks rock and it never gets old seeing them...Points are pointless and buffalo burgers are tasty.
A door closes right before the next one opens. Glad you and yours are okay!
And here is a coin that I understand is viewed by some as an unloved common problem widget that nobody here collects and is also without historic interest and is more valuable being re-struck into a modern silver round:

OMG, Beautiful Coin, 220 years old, it's amazing any of these survived.
Just wondering what this coin bought or paid for when it was put in circulation.

That was never my intention, the thread for me is just a place for me to park myself for a while. It's always nice to see your thread take off,
I'm having fun tonight, I needed a diversion, and this works for me...

I thought some were trying to show there knowledge on a lot of issues, now I see it's just a competition.
I certainly hope not. That borders on pathological.
I posted someone's picture, hope they don't mind.
If you comment please include a Coin Picture and let's see how many coins we can get here. (I think you get points for pictures also, not sure)
Is that Skyman's? That's a new (to me) angle shot. Of all the nice coins that are owned and posted by others on this board, this is one of my favorites.

When I see beautiful coins like this, and the true Artwork they are then look at what's in circulation and it may as well be a metal slug.
There is no depth to so many coin designs that really need to change. I would love to see classic designs on the cent through half dollar.
JMHO

just hope the mods don't decide this thread has got to go poof.
Why, there are pictures of coins, comments about them are tame. The only thing that really hurts the threads is someone post multiple times in a row posting 5+ and saying nothing.
I asked for pictures and got them, if they worry about the leader boards then why have them, all the badges and everything that decorates the other side of the Forum that some never see, but it is there for a reason.
They want you to enjoy your time here and there is nothing wrong with that.

I had an 1883 grade out at MS 65 from PCGS about ten years ago. A clear strong strike let's you see the texture on the surface that is not used anymore. Both the liberty nickels and buffalo nickels had the textured fields and devices.

When you make a post and are a newbie to the forum those people who keep this place active are doing a good deed. A lot of us cannot afford rarities so have a few people say cool or nice when you get a new ase or a common 65 morgan.. it is nice feeling to get some replies. Some action on our posts.
Without them this place can become a ghost town real quick

This coin is so reflective I imagine it's not easy to photograph. The fields look like liquid Mercury.
Would you call the surface Super Proof, Ultimate Proof,. It has to have a better designation than Proof.
