How I know I'm losing my numismatic mind

I saw a Littleton Coin ad for SBA dollars, and I actually considered putting a set of them together. No, I'm not crazy enough to order them from Littleton. But the very thought of collecting ugly Susan B's now makes me shudder! image

  • You ARE out of your numismatic mind! How could you even THINK about getting a non-darkside coin?

    And a Susan B. Agony to boot! I hang my head in shame. image

    I think it's a great idea, Shiro. It will keep you humble. Remember it's just like they say in the acting world "There are no small roles, only small actors." Well, I say "There are no ugly coins, only ugly collectors." And since I have not seen you in person, there is no way you should take that personally.

    Frank Gasparro really failed to capture her beauty on the coin.

    Shiroh -- now that you're out of the closet, I'll confess too -- I think the proof SBA's are rather attractive.

    I thought the Susan B. Anthony WAS/IS a darkside coin. (The U.S. sure didn't want it.)

    Only if they start a registry for raw coins! image

    You know what they say, one man's beauty is another man's hideousness.

  • Well, as a darkside collector you've learned to live with the abuse heaped on you regularly by mainstream US collectors, so you've already got the required fortitude -- go for it! image
