    stman and stewart,

    Your guesses, although made with logical thought, are WRONG!

    You can make hypothetical assumptions on "what I am thinking right now" but I don't think you will get the right answer. Good try though.

    By the way. Those are very beautiful coins. As a hint to get the beautiful coin bonus, I will add;

    "Think not on the issue/date/toning of the coin but of the sincere, natural and statistical beauty of the piece."

    Proof: "A statement or argument used in such a validation. " cited 'dictionary.com'

    Assumption to validate: "What I was thinking?"

    Proof: "I was not thinking what you thought I was thinking." :

    What I was thinking: A
    What you were thinking: B

    What you think I thought I was thinking B -> A (FALSE)
    Therefore, YOU ARE WRONG!

    Everyone, I am thinking of only one thing now and it doesn't have to do with this forum. This forum is my escape from my test/studying/work as it is for most of you. The answer comprises of a single sentence. Any variation of that sentence is deemed winner.

    I am not a bogus a-hole but a $20 liberty is a nice price and it should be well deserved. Get over it if you don't have the insight to come up with the right answer.

    Poorguy, no problems here.... Hint, my question to you is probably (I don't know for sure I grew up in the ghetto)image not universally accepted and not in the on-line dictionary. Most people including highly educated folks have trouble with this one. It's really only common sense though. BTW, I do hope you know I was joking with you when I said to prove we were wrong about what you were thinking. Now, it's been fun I'll check in later. 5q and 5q??????????

    I am doped up on benadryl and it's about midnight over here. I had an allergic recation to Mountain Dew "Live Wire" drink earlier this afternoon. Anyways, I thought proving my correctness was kinda fun. No harm intended on my part. I have a final in Theory of Computation and part of that is Proofs on why something "IS". Don't worry about it. I only have a 4.00 rating.

    "double-you ache what am eye tee ache eye in kay thinking are eye gee tee now"

    Dunno about you, but when i type, i ususally spell/say the words in my mind as i go...
