  • Won't PCGS put a pedigree on the top registry sets?

    Could you make a top registry set with that coin in it, name it the PMM collection, then have it pedigreed?

  • "Get over it. What would you do if you had of found the coin before slabs? Beg someone to write it on the 2x2? And casual day at school is more pornographic than the Cook Islands dollars. There's a difference between art and indecency, you know, and I'd have to say that writing "P****** Minuteman" on a slab is closer to the latter"

    No such thing as indecency based on what they teach in school nowadays. Heck, if a person wanted to they can enroll at the University Of Michican this year in class called "How to be Gay". I guess that is not indecent though! The cook Island coin is indecent I would not want to show my kids that coin because his appendage is showing. However, on the PMM it is not showing.

    Thread after thread of whining about PCGS not giving you the designation you want.
    You do realize it is NOT YOUR company and they have every right to attribute it that way or not.
    They will grade the coin, as Marty has said, and attribute the die crack. They don't have to do it your way.
    They ain't Burger King!

    You may have been here a long time, but all this whining over this is like that of a school kid who isn't getting his way (and I am referring to GRADE school...not even high school).

    I still don't get over how people want to tell PCGS how to run their own business. You put up a few million, get your name respected and recognized, then you can write naughty little things all over slabs and their tags. Until then, if you don't like it, don't buy/submit PCGS.

    I just don't get your obsession with. image
    (Now, sick as it is, I do get Marty's obsession with the wanger coin from Cook Island....poor poor little Mad Marty image )

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • I agree it is a MAGNIFICIECENT COIN.

    You just shot down your own argument. They do teach a lot of things these days in school, so your kids already have seen illustrations comparable to the Cook Islands dollars. Hence, it doesn't matter if you show them the coin. If you want to talk trash, indecency, etc., please take it to the Open Forum where it belongs and where I don't have to see it.
  • NOT ALL!!!Not a joke they have a class named exactly that!!
  • I ain't talking trash!! I talking facts!!
  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    Pat you are full of SH!T.. I was just on the U of M course website and the only course they have that is even close is

    << <i>WOMENSTD 245 - Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies
    Section 001, LEC >>



    That is far from How to be gay. Now crawl back into your hole until you get your facts straight.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    What? No course for men? That's discrimination!

  • Marty,
    There was an article about the class Michigan had called " How To Be Gay" It was offered last fall.
  • I can see it now!

  • Well of course us Irishmen do a lot of drinking. I stopped drinking twenty years ago. However, I would not do it like the Minute Man does for everyone to see outside. He had to be drinking that fatefull day.
  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    That was 4 years ago, it's not there now!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • I read an article about it last year also!! No kidding they offer it!!! What ashame right?? Very indecent not like a Minute Man though!! Agree?
  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    I don't see a simalirity at all? Maybe we should make all the countrys that have noughty bits on their coins grind them up into little pieces! There goes the 1916 SLQ!

    Not sure what a public university and a private grading service have in common here... image
  • Just debating if the Cook Island coin is more indecent than the PMM!!!

    << <i>Well of course us Irishmen do a lot of drinking. >>



    Not all of us are drunken tagsimage

    There is nothing wrong with the Cook Islands dollar. The coin is depicting Tangaroa the Polynesian God of creation, which happens to be part of the culture and heritage of the Maori people of the Cook Islands. There is nothing indecent about that. Before that Italian, St. Pádraig, came to Ireland we Celts had quit a few Gods ourselves. I think this issue is like beating a dead horse.image

  • MSD61,
    Top of the morning to ya! Me either, I ain't no drunkard. I have not had a drink in over 22 years. I like the Cook Island Dollar, also. But, I would not let my kid have one yet. I just want the PMM to get recogition by being designated as such. He deserves that at the very least!
    If a certification company can certify a coin with an appendage sticking out then what the big deal about giving the PMM its rightfull designation???


  • << <i>I have not had a drink in over 22 years. >>



    You said earlier you gave up drinking 20 years ago.

    What is it's rightful designation? It's a die crack, that's is designation. PMM is a nickname at that is it. You mean you couldn't talk AH at AGC into putting it on the slab? Too cheap to slip him an extra $20!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    The Cook Island dollar CAN"T be indecent. That is a GOD and by definition a GOD makes the his own rules and does not have to answer to mortals rules of morality and/or decentcy. So anything he choses to do is proper. Who are you to judge a GOD. image

    And the UofM should take their own course on Lesbian,Gay etc studies. If they did they would know that a course on "How to be Gay" is rediculus, unless it is a course on self-esteem (sp) to help them to come to accept the fact that they are lesbians, gay, etc. Otherwise it makes about as much sense as a course on "How to be white", "How to be black", "How to Be Japanese", "How to be a Border Collie".
  • What's everybody doing in here? Isn't there a poefish thread that needs everyone's attention? image

  • Conder,
    Good point. If I died and went to heaven and met god, and god was the image of the Cook Island dollar I would have a lot of explaining to do.

  • coinguy89,
    It is very intellectuall. It is better than a presidential debate. It needs attention from the highest authorities in the coin collecting society. It is a matter of giving this coin the attention it deserves for his image will never change. He deserves utmost attention.

    I will agree better than presidential debates, those are pretty boring. My question to you is why it has to be the P1ssing minute man? It barely even looks like he's p1ssing. Why can't there be some other name for it? Im not going to get too involved with this, im not much into state quarters.

    " i HAD MY WISDOM TEETH REMOVED THIS MORNING,"

    You might as well, it's obvious they weren't doing you any good....
  • coinguy89,
    Well if you called him a "Tinkeling Minute Man" that would make him sound like a "Gurly Man" and Arnold wouldn't buy him. The PMM designation is more manly & Arnold would buy him them.
    Cacheman,
    I already said that because I knew you would chime in, and slam dunk me!!
