    I'm gonna drag out this very old Longacre thread, just because I think it's one of the funniest ones I ever read on this chat board!

    Where is the "none of the above" option?

    BUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPP.

    If I had to pick A, B, or C.
    But I have to go with D - None of the above.
    (Old man) Look I had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, “That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah”.

    (Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?

    Honestly? None of the above, but I'm too tired to go into a long dissertation about it right now.
    I never thought that growing old would happen so fast.

    Closest to a B-except that I do use the 'net to get coins.

    I have no interest in graded coins whatsoever, and think coins should be collected for their place in history, not for how much you think you can make selling them later, or what metal they are made of!

    I'd be a numismatic dandy if rarity in type coins counted for more. Sadly it doesn't. One can pay big bucks for coin like this 1808 quarter eagle in PCGS AU-50 and not get a fair number of registry points for it. For about 25% of what this coin is worth, you can buy a handful of high grade 20th century type coins and get more registry points, at least across the street.

    As it is I'm about 25% old time collector and 75% professor. The professor part of me goes more toward history than studying die state, however.
    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
