Doug- That is NOT callipygian!! You lose. It means shapely buttocks...not FAT....Large (Sir Mixalot large is ok....ya know....."baby got back")....SICK.....and it definitely doesn't mean Cellulite!!
It means Jennifer Lopez........that is callipygian!!
Stephanie is callipygian. Damn.......I sure like that word. I had a lead engineer at Boeing tell me what that meant 20 years ago. He saw some sweet young thing at my desk.....and when she walked away.......he used the word in a sentence. It is MOST DEFINITELY one of my favorite words. Right up there with Anaconda's use of "FREE" when I ask him how much for the 1834 Proof quarter.
Rella- I was completely sober. I just wanted to make sure you didn't think coins was the only thing I cared about. There is Stephanie...Tara Reid sp? (in Van Wilder)....sports....and of course beer! I went to WAZZU (Washington State Univ)....and there isn't much to do there......except study (yeah right).....chase tail.....and drink lots of BEER! I excelled at 2 out of 3....and wasn't bad at the other.
Oh my gosh......anyone want to talk patterns about now......

Why did you think I asked what camera you were using? She wouldn't fit on my scanner. Only one cheek would and the scans looked like a blank page. I never could get the thong centered.
DWOOD- Yes.....you will never forget it now. It has been ingrained.....the same way as it happened to me. Everytime you see some sweet thing walking......that will be the first word that pops in your head. It has such a distinct sound.....and is such a unique word.....it is hard to forget.
I just hope that Stephanie gets a chance to read all of my compliments. The least she can do for me at this point......is to either send or email me a picture that will validate and confirm my "word usage" of her attributes!
What do you think DWOOD? Bear? Rella? Better yet.....Come on Adrian.....I have stuck with you through on this thread. I backed you 110% (not sure how that happens..but it sure gets used alot in the NBA). How are you going to come through for me? I am not asking for much...am I? One super high quality up close "booty call" picture.
Adrian, I wouldn't use the # of dollars in sales that a dealer has done to judge his or her worth to either the hobby or humanity in general. Some of the track records of many major dealers who are considered visionaries or "heroes" today back in the 70's and early 80's is certainly open to debate. You could write a very lengthy book on it.
you know..........i was enjoying this thread until that "cal·li·pyg·i·an" showed up.
now i cant go to sleep cause i'm afraid of her coming after me.
i love bust coins, so does that mean i love zoftic women?
Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.
roadrunner - I can see your point. Respect isn't equal to sales. However, i think it is something worth noting.
I believe that one's ability to recognize value is directly linked to two things. Two things...yeah, i think that's right. Yeah, that's right.
Memory and IQ.
Both coin dealing and business runnin' are best when done by a guy with a good memory and a high IQ.
Also, knowing how to get along with people helps. Like Ivy and Halperin. Two heads are better than one but egos normally prevent the synergism that two heads produces.
Hey....tell us more about what you know about coin dealers who have great sales but aren't respected.
Be frank and forthright. No one reads these threads.
C'mon. You surely must know a few stories. We want the dirt! adrian
I wonder how many people Dave Bowers pissed off? Probably only those that walk around already pissed off.
I almost hate to admit it after that picture, but I don't drink anymore. I don't have time for it. I used to be somewhat of a redneck wine afficienado. For table wines, I liked either a light Kendall Jackson or Chianti depending on what was being served. Occaisionally a bottle of Opus One would show up in this tiny little town in Mississippi, and I would seek it out for comfort and comiseration for having found each other in such a strange little place in our lives.

Lots of great pictures of great coins taken by quality collectors and dealers. If everyone of us liked the exact same coin with the same degree of unbridled enthusiasm then this would be a dull forum and a very expensive coin.
One of the real advantages of these ego busting duels is the exposure of the subtle factors that very experienced Numismatists use in valuing quality and value of coins. When you cut through the silliness associated with bent noses, there is a lot to learn in this 200+ post thread.
You ought to consider updating the thread title once again to properly reflect your diminutive responses to me thus far. It was not a level intellectual playing field; at least you were able to discern that and slithered away to other pastures.
I believe that the key to value in Numismatics is a photographic memory AND Numismatic knowledge and History
Do you believe that caveat emptor should apply,as a dealer, when you sell a coin? Do you think that as a dealer Karma is a factor when you sell a coin?
I have to say that you are definitely one of the most illustrious and brilliant coin dealers in the business today!!! What comes out of your mouth is also very entertaining and welcome in the coin business.I hope to meet you one day.
Adrian, please another picture of the comely Miss Stephanie, but in focus this time. If I need a barrister/solicitor, you are at the top of my list. I think solicitor is kind of fitting for you. PS, the horse was nice, ahh butt Stephanie, yes!
Hello, it took me 4 hours in between various errands, etc. , etc. to read this endless thread..................
I still have a couple of questions for both Joe Oconnor and Anaconda and any others that care to respond:
(1) Could you both discuss the positives of such 1815 quarter in significant detail................
(2) Could you both discuss the negatives of such 1815 quarter in significant detail...............
(3) Could you both discuss the neutral aspects of such 1815 quarter in significant detail..........
(4) How much of your above visual examination of the above coin was based on in person examination of the coin versus examination of the pictures of the coin, etc.
(5) What is the history of this coin.....
(6)what did it look like before it was "conserved"..........
(7) What is the pop count of this coin both PCGS and NGC in grades below, same and better than this coin.......
(8) What is the price history and price comparables, etc........
(9) What is the price details for a similar type coin...........
Thanks for your thoughts on the above questions!
Edited to change the term from endless detail to significant detail!!!
Adrian, if you produce the Mercedes photo with Stephanie you will definitely be king of the productive non-whiners club. Adrian for president.
As far as the dirt from the 70's and 80's, I would need hundreds of trucks to carry out all the dirt. Let's just say that those times were the wild wild west of coins and very, very few people got fair value for their dollar.....me included. I remember well in 1983 when one of the biggest names in the business sent me a heavily cleaned seated quarter as a gem BU65 for $3000. It was worth $200-300 as an AU55. They're still around today of course but far more reputable. I think it might be a much shorter list to name all the honest dealers from the 70's than the other way around. But I couldn't withstand all the lawsuits that would result......oh by the way....what do you charge an hour?
Adrian, Thank you...LOL...look forward to the pic. You should have gotten an M5 BMW you chest thumping cold blooded accident fearing automatic transmission defensive litigating stem line reproducer! K
I would actually be interested in a couple of Bear's questions. I have seen a LOT of early type coinage that has been lightly cleaned, or wiped, or the subject of alleged "cabinet friction," and dipping (old style or modern dip). Given the lack of TRUE original coins out there, what I would like to hear quality merits and demerits, pleaaassseeeeee

If you ship them to me I will save you the torment of throwing them away. I will bury
