I'm not sure, but I think I've been offended by a fellow board member

stman · January 28, 2003 7:21AM

I go to my local dealer I haven't seen in a while needing a fix. He says he saved this for me. I feel it's envelope toned and while it looks unc, I see just a slight bit of rub maybe I'm too picky. Anyway Dog97 and I talk coins and email PICS once in a while.

I ask him "how do you like my new raw piece of junk"? Feeling him, of all people would appreciate something like this (if you know Dog then you know what I mean) he replies "well from that PIC you couldn't sell it to me on Ebay." Now, how do I take that? Do you think he was asking me to sell it to him...... away from Ebay? or do you think he was insulting me?

OK, it's not the nicest in the world, and it might not be soooo pretty, but it does have nice luster and cartwheels nice. I just wanted an example of envelope toning. Oh, my dealer said, give me X amount of $ and call it what you want!!!! No hype on this one.

BTW, just because it has a couple faint print lines that you really don't see and on the obv on top of her head is a flash from the scanner, I could not believe he didn't appreciate my new Monster!!!!!

well, from those pics you couln't even sell me that one on Ebay.... but if you wanna give it to me......

mbbiker · January 28, 2003 7:27AM

Whats going on with the bottom of the coin on the Rev pic? looks like a huge rim dent. Anyway i like it i wouldn't buy it on e-bay but then again i never buy raw on e-bay.

Your dealer is a crook. Get a lawyer and sue him. Kill him and burn his store down. Call the police. File a complaint with the ANA, the PNG, the ICTA, and the LS/MFT. Poison his dog. Take out a full-page ad in Coin World and show the world how he ripped you off. Kill him again. Call the Better Business Bureau and the Bureau of Consumer Protection. Put up a billboard....

Oh wait, you're not complaining about your dealer.... and both of the parties are forum members....

<Emily Litella voice> That's different. Never mind. </Emily Litella voice>

Seriously, Dog! That ain't a bad lookin' Morgan!

It's the weather, I have been more touchy than usual lately. mdwoods

paigowjohnny · January 28, 2003 7:46AM

Hard to tell from the scan...I don't think it's unc...but I do think it's pretty. I'd put it in with my meager toned holdings...

Russ · January 28, 2003 7:49AM

<< and the LS/MFT. >>

Bwuahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! You have to be OLD to get that one!

That is funny. mdwoods

Man I hadn't heard that since I carried my Lucky's in my rolled up shirt sleeve. I wonder if Lucy knows what that means?

I give up - if it's banned on PCGS, PM me

LucyBop · January 28, 2003 8:11AM

<< LSMFT >>

?

Doesn't sound like anything that me and the Teeny Boppers used way back when Daddy-o, It sounds like square talk that the Hepsters can't dig.

JLW · January 28, 2003 8:18AM

LS/MFT is on the front of Lucky Strike cigs. is it not? I don't remember what the "MFT" stood for. Hey Russ, here's one for you. What does" Lucky Strike Green has gone to war " refer to?

stman · January 28, 2003 8:21AM

Hey folks, here I am sad and offended ( I don't know) and you guys are getting O/T, now quit hijacking my thread. I notice o'l Dog is probably hiding in his house with nothing to say.

Russ · January 28, 2003 8:23AM

supercoin · January 28, 2003 8:23AM

In my experience, if Dog97 meant to offend you there wouldn't be any doubt.

JLW · January 28, 2003 8:25AM

<< JLW,

Very good! Not sure why but all the menthol cigs. went overseas for the troops.
Joe
P.S. Thanks for the refresher on "MFT"!

LucyBop · January 28, 2003 8:26AM

I remember Lucky Strikes, but the HepKitty didn't smoke.... Very hard to do some serious boppin' with bad lungs!

smprfi · January 28, 2003 8:36AM

Here is a great idea,ASK HIM. Then there will be no doubt.He is a straight shooter.

FrattLaw · January 28, 2003 8:42AM

Stman -- I'll put the thread back on track! Personally, I don't think he was insulting you, it was more the coin. While Dog might not have liked it, that again is a personal decision/opinion. I like it, but then again I like unusually toned coins and not just the monsters that make that little voice in my head say "AT?"

I noticed that you've been a little sensitive lately and you shouldn't look into further then want it was.

If you like, who cares what Dog or anyone else says.

Michael

Russ · January 28, 2003 9:04AM

Hell, Dog is like my basketball coach back in highschool. He always said "hey, if I ever stop giving you sh!t, it means I don't care any more."

Russ, NCNE

Dog97 · January 28, 2003 9:18AM

Just wait till everybody finds out the REAL reason that Mark Feld (coinguy1) left is because stman sent him an email with THAT Morgan as an attachment.......and coinguy1's Norton AntiVirus didn't catch it.

KlectorKid · January 28, 2003 9:23AM

This is a forum, what do u expect? U dont seem to understand that you need to work things out by yourself. Starting a thread saying I think I'm offended does not do anything for you exept make the whole forum think your a wimp. Why you would take someone saying you couldnt sell it on E-bay as anything towards you is beyond me. Please solve this privatly. Dont take this post the wrong way I just dont understand why?

dorkkarl · January 28, 2003 9:27AM

its a coin i would pass on.

<< Starting a thread saying I think I'm offended does not do anything for you exept make the whole forum think your a wimp >>

I don't know how to spell it, but as my Mother used to say "oy vay"

NumisEd · January 28, 2003 12:04PM

stman, the coin is a piece of crap. No offense. Okay, take offense to that. It's worth $7...tops.

As for your post, what are you babbling about? It doesn't make any sense.

stman · January 28, 2003 12:58PM

<< I ask him "how do you like my new raw piece of junk"? >>

I'm sorry if some people took me so serious, I told Dog97 I was going to post this and we thought it might be fun. For the folks that took me serious I would have thought the above statement and other things I said in my post would be a tip off I was just playing.

But I guess human nature will give some a reason to start flaming without even reading. It still was about a coin.

With some of the things I see go on and on here I didn't think having a little fun would hurt.

Bear · January 28, 2003 1:06PM

I understood it was humour, but a lot of people take everything on this Forum serious

unless you signal with a happy face , that you are speaking tongue in cheek.

Actually, I get offended just looking in the mirror every morning.

NumisEd · January 28, 2003 1:07PM

MrLee · January 28, 2003 1:08PM

Ahem..... Ha Ha Ha.

Glad you were just joking stman. I thought maybe you were getting a little too sensitive. BTW It's a good looking Morgan. I'd give you $7 for it.

dimeadzn · January 28, 2003 1:14PM

I could tell you were teasing!

It's easy to mis-understand others when all you have is the printed word, though. Anyone who took you seriously knows what you mean now, so I wouldnt sweat it. There's bound to be a little anxiety after some of the flame-fests lately.

Thanks for sharing the Morgan, BTW!

stman · January 28, 2003 1:18PM

Bear, I did put a wink

at the end of my post, but I guess some just like to see what they want to see. What can I say, I have that New York attitude. I guess that's why you understand me.

Is that good?

MrLee · January 28, 2003 1:25PM

Maybe next time you should use one of these.......

They might see then.

Gilbert · January 29, 2003 12:39AM

I'm not sure, but I think I've been offended by a fellow board member

do you think he was insulting me?

(if you know Dog then you know what I mean) Yes, I do know Dog and if he was insulting you there would be no question about it.

Make sure you check to see if this coin is a Vam 6 O/O mm If it is, THEN I would call it a monster.

Bear · January 29, 2003 12:48AM

I have always found the big Doggy to be very helpful and kind.When he gives

an opinion, it is usually wise to give heed and listen carefully to his accurate and erudite

advice. The only time Dog is snappish is with dunderheads, arrogant pollywogs and Trolls

and assorted denizens who habitate the dark and sinister places of the Forum.

As for Stman, you have always been a gentleman and a person of great merit. All in all,

two really great guys who are a distinct credit to the Forum. As for humour, I thought that was my job

to provide amusement.

stman · January 29, 2003 1:19AM

Thanks Bear for the kind thoughts, actually when Dog told me he wouldn't buy that coin from me on Ebay I laughed hard. Why? because when he will post his "unusual" coins or send me an Email of some he bought we will cut up about them and have a little fun.

So this was his chance to knock my coin, which I knew he would on this one and was waiting for it, and I can take it. I even slept a few hours last night.

Dog97 · January 29, 2003 7:34AM

Stman sends me the pict of his new coin, he's all excited about it and wants my opinion about it. We ask each other about coins all the time you see. I really value his opinion, he sees the same things I do. We're both grumpy old time tech graders & collectors but I'm trying to be polite about it. So I make a few comments about the rev print but no, that aint good enough, he wants you know what I REALLY think about it. He wants to know if I LIKE it. So I say "Well you couldn't sell it to me on eBay with that picture" but I'm thinking it might be a "THE PICTURE DOESN'T DO THE COIN JUSTICE!!!" kind of coin. He tells me the coin looks just like the picture. So I don't get overly excited about it.
He did say he was going to post it for the board to check out and if I minded being put on record as not liking it.
I said not at all!

stman · January 29, 2003 7:41AM

And I was pretty excited about it.

Did everybody see the wink?
