    Gee, Baley, have you ever said anything interesting...

    I wonder if your post about the discovery bust half might qualify? imageimage

    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.

    Congrats as well!!

    That's 2500 per year;
    48.07 per week; and
    6.84 per day.

    I am approximating 5 minutes per post. By my calculations, you have spent 35 minutes everyday typing about coins!

    There once was a member called baley
    whose fingers became rather scaley
    he typed way too much,
    came up with posts in a clutch
    and now he's got 5000 posts, ain't he?

    oh well, congrats! imageimage

    Just a tip of the hat to all you've contributed. Now I do have a question...... WILL THAT DARN DISCOVERY COIN CROSS AT GRADE??????????
    I heard another was made.... better dump it quick.image

    Congratulations Baley!

    You'll probably never know how many of us you have inspired to start type sets, but count myself among them! It was your great pictures, informational threads and obvious numismatic passion for your set that finally pushed me to get my #7070 Dansco. Thanks!!

    Congratulations, sir.

    I don't recall ever reading any of your posts, but I'm sure they were fine.

    Well, well, well, well......here was quite the pickle,
    To post a contest within a contest just to give something away.
    Will it be a high-dollar rare mint coin?
    Will it be an interesting error coin.

    My 500th to your 5000th.

    Let's see how well anyone has paid attention to any posts that I have made in the past.......


    Question is asked in another thread....

    I don't want to hijack this one.!!!

    Thank you for your input in the past Baley and we look forward to hearing from you in the future!!!


    Thanks also for the entry.
