This place has been too civil lately. Somebody say something nasty before I take this into my own hands!

No. There's nothing wrong with the coins. It's the people that collect them.

a corresponding increase in flaming. This might lead some lurkers and more
better known people into posting.
...or perhaps not. There are a lot of people reading these boards who rarely
or never post, though.
There are also some newbies who might gain the confidence to sign up.
I like the slabbing concept overall. I do pay a small to medium premium for attractively toned coinage. I do like some modern coins. I have dipped a few coins, but not too many or often. I had some pocket change slabbed just for my amusement. I don't long for the "good old days" of collecting...
Of course. What a disadvantage those old timers had! Think about how much better John Ford would have done if he had been born 50 years later.

Are you suggesting that poor collectors are somehow genetically disadvantaged??? You must be LOOKING to get flamed!

<< <i>No, I'm just saying that it takes money to get those best coins. And I can say that because I'm one of those people who can't afford the coins I want. I come from a lower income family and am middle income in my adulthood. I have no shame about that whatsoever. But it puts me at a disadvantage when it comes to collecting the best coins. >>
There's a simple enough solution; just want the best coins you can afford. There
are many highly desirable, rare, &/or very high grade coins that anyone can afford.
Put together a collection of some of these and don't worry about how they perform
financially. If they do poorly then you can take consolation in the fact that most peo-
ple don't make money in coins and in the fact that you can't lose much if you don't
spend much. Of course, real collectors tend to do pretty well so you may not need to
look for consolation anyway.
nwcs - Being poor puts you at a disadvantage in collecting the most EXPENSIVE coins, but many of the BEST coins aren't that expensive. You're just barking up the wrong trees.
Placid - How about sharing some scans of your first collection?

Lucky for the Titans that they're not playing a REAL team. Maybe they have a shot today.

Looks like that Jack-in-the-box character just castrated a bear. Hopefully not one of ours. Bears, that is.

Andy, you are one miserable SOB, that's the last time you're EVER gonna stick me with those undergraded slabbed patterns, & you sold every one at 10% (back of) bid! This has GOT to stop! I'm reporting you to the ANA, the ABA, FBI, FTC AND I'm gonna ask PCGS to revoke your dealer priveliges - Uhhh what else? Oh yeah - terms - you gave me more than 2 weeks to pay for those undergraded dogs - I had enough time to raid the cookie jar, the candy jar, float a few checks - this has just GOT to STOP - You keep this up & I'm not gonna buy coins from you again
Is that what you were looking for?

Anybody that collects "Clad coins", and "IKes", and "Rosies", and anything after 1964, (and especially Lincoln collectors), are a bunch of Puzzies!!!!!!
And if that ain't good enough you're reading all of this from a NEWBIE!!!!!!
