  • I am in for the first 5 tickets. How much are they? Also, are the tickets slabbed and who were they graded by? Which pricelist are we going by?


    LOL!!!

    Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
  • Brilliant idea !!!!

    Count me in. I have had my share of 'beatings' here so i am used to it.

    Heck, I'll even sacrifice myself as the first one in this "LotteryInquisition'" just to break the ice and see if it needs to be tweaked.

    Bear: Will this specifically be a Spanish Coin Inquisition, or will it also include coins intended for domestic consumption?? image

    Unless you're a newly hatched pod person, you already know that ss350camaro's ideals are worthy of a good flush down the toilet. But let me add that ss350camaro has never been accused of objectivity. For complete details, I refer you to my forthcoming book on the subject. I shall here mention only a few random items that may be new or especially interesting to you. For instance, if ss350camaro wanted to, he could create a climate of intimidation. He could leach integrity and honor from our souls. And he could violate the basic tenets of journalism and scholarship. We must not allow ss350camaro to do any of these.

    Of perhaps even more concern is his claim that aggrandizement is the most hyperbolic form of human communication. I would say that that claim is 70% folderol, 20% twaddle, and 10% another brutish attempt to trick our children into adopting unconventional, disapproved-of opinions and ways of life.

    However much ss350camaro may deny it, I once managed to get him to agree that I'm not sure whether to classify his "compromises" under "paranoia" or "ignorance". Unfortunately, a few minutes later, he did a volte-face and denied that he had ever said that. It is common knowledge that he is inherently sniffish, feeble-minded, and callow. Oh, and he also has an atrabilious mode of existence. ss350camaro, get a life! I normally prefer to listen than to speak. I would, however, like to remind ss350camaro that once people obtain the critical skills that enable them to think and reflect and speculate independently, they'll realize that the next time ss350camaro decides to increase people's stress and aggression, he should think to himself, cui bono? -- who benefits?

    ss350camaro owes us a big apology. Of course, it's not that simple. What that means, simply put, is that his taradiddles are complete and total offal. And I can say that with a clear conscience, because when he says that we need to advocate fatalistic acceptance of a mephitic new world order, in his mind, that's supposed to end the argument. It's like he believes he has said something very profound. ss350camaro's tirades are a load of bunk. I use this delightfully pejorative term, "bunk" -- an alternative from the same page of my criminal-slang lexicon would serve just as well -- because ss350camaro's "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude is beer-guzzling, because it leaves no room for compromise. We must overcome the fears that beset us every day of our lives. We must overcome the fear that ss350camaro will make my worst nightmares come true. And to overcome these fears, we must condemn ss350camaro's hypocrisy. Sinful, untrustworthy stumblebums don't think like you and me. Since I don't have anything more to say on that subject, I'll politely get off my soapbox now.

    How's that? image

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Exactly. And what's with that handle anyway? Is that what he uses to make a getaway after "dealing" a few coins?
