    Something concerning toning and surface damage caused from the toning. There are a few that absolutely "freak out" debating the molecular structure of a coins' surface and how it's altered from toning.

    Actually that might be a good fight, but not the brawl variety.

    I don't know, make a broad statement like "anyone who collects moderns is an idiot"

    That might do it. image

    Why would anyone in his right mind question collecting moderns? Do they expect a different result? image

  • ss350camaross350camaro Posts: 4,529
    I know exactly how to get at least a 100 post thread.

    I say something like: "Eric (K6AZ) is a freaking bullying idiot and doesn't know chit about Morgans."

    And the Eric says: "Your just a whining sniveling crybaby jerk."

    From there on it's all out war imageimage

    Yup, go over to the open ("closed minded") forum and say something negative about:

    1. Bush
    2. Republicans
    3. Gun control

    Or better yet, all 3 in one thread.

    Along the lines of Russ's last response and the general idea of buying toned coins - I'll quote my 17 year old daughter when I showed her the coin I brought home from ANA in Pgh. She screwed up her eyeball at me and asked " Why'd ya buy a rusty coin, Dad?" image

    Moderns suck. White coins suck. Most forum members suck. ACG slabs only nice coins and defend that position. Sleepy Hollow is a much better place than here. Last but not least say something wrong about a YN that has their head up the arse.

    If you really wanted to start a Forum Brawl...

    1) Make a disparaging comment regarding collecting Morgan $s, moderns (or fill in the blank re the coin series), and the sex lives (or lack thereof) of the people that collect them

    2) Insult EVP's pets

    Exactomundo !!!!!! I might add say this after you reveal that you are a Republican and aren't voting for Bush a second time. You'll bring out the worst in humankind in a nanosecond, however the one postive is that it does reveal how truly ignorant many Americans are about current events.

    Why do so many informed (allegedly) and knowlegable (supposedly) people think that just because you take a coin out of one holder, and put it in a another holder with a higher number on it, that the coin is worth more?
