Active posters to the US Coin forum who have never posted their coins

RYK

There are numerous members of the US Coin Forum who are active participants, but who I have never seen post coins from their collections. Below are a few that come to mind; please feel free to add to the list:

Michael
Kranky
PerryHall
MrEureka
Dorkkarl (wherever he is)
Legend

BTW, all of these are individuals whose contributions I respect.

Bear?

Bear shows off every once in awhile. He had a very nice seated half here a month or so ago.

Those scalawags.

Ban the bums.

<< <i>Bear? >>



Bear has posted some. Or, more accurately, had others post them for him since he's a Luddite.

I don't recall Carl Wohlforth posting many either.

I've posted before.........but my pictures were EXTREMELY crappy.

Does this count?

Russ

Crappy pictures count. If they didn't, RYK's list would be MUCH longer.

Russ, NCNE

ledzep87

You've got a great point.

RYK CAN NOT post good pictures of gold at all.......

stman

There are others, not the ones you mentioned...... but ever notice some of the others that never post any coins from their collection seem to be the most critical of others that do? Just thinking out loud is all.

Dorkkarl couldn't contribute because he's too "old school" to shoot digital images. Or else he secretly had all his coins in slabs and didn't want to let the cat out of the bag.

Thank you RYK for posting a pic!

I was wondering how long it would take......

That sucks, he said good pics.

MrEureka

I have posted an occasional coin but the images have all been "borrowed". For example, the coin in my sig line is in my collection, but it's an ANR image. I've never taken a picture of a coin. I don't even own a camera.

That's just 'cause you have "people"

Well, I shouldn't be so surprised. I don't own a digital camera, and have only experimented with a macro lens on my SLR. I have lots of coins scanned, but those images fall short of what I'd refer to as "good quality" images.

BTW Andy, hasn't your sigline coin been appropriated by a certain Darksider residing on the old continent (or rather, island)?

Yeah, let's see some of those QEs!!

MrEureka

True enough but they work for Smythe. I can't use them to work on my personal collection. Too bad, I'd love to have the images.

If you will recall the agreement that permits you to use this forum you will remember that you are essentially giving up your copyright on photos to Collectors Universe. Some active posters probably refuse to give up their copyrights and thus don't post photos.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It's true in more than just physics.

Now, that is surprising. As someone who resisted figuring it out, I know it opens up new avenues of coin collecting enjoyment. Open your mind. Don't just inflict seminars, take some.

Right or wrong, I expend very little effort in life on the fine print. This would be among the least of my concerns.

Michael has posted many images over the years of his coins.

Missed a few, did ya?













He hasn't posted too many recently but has ton's o the dreaded red "X" from old ones.

That's just wrong mgoodm3!!! Very few are fortunate to be able to come close to what you can do.....

eyoung,

mgoodm3 photographed that coin (and many others) for me.

I got flamed for flaming my own work.

I lack decent picture taking equipment, and most of my collection......well, not many would be interested in seeing it.

dizzyfoxx

I'm going to start posting mine soon.

Hell, I'm ready to give up the coin just to get something to post.

yea perryhall has all these half eagles from the civil war he
refuses to show pictures of.

well perry, here is an open offer. i will send you my old ricoh
camera for 3 months and you can show us the money!!!

mesg me if that sounds ok.

I'm in the same boat as you, posted a few but not very good quality but I'll keep trying to get it right----Tom

Thanks for the offer but I'm not into photography. The only pre-civil war gold that I remember mentioning was an 1864-S Lib $5 in NGC VG-8. I got it from Northeast Numismatics a few years ago
for $2600. I always wanted a really rare coin and this one I could barely afford. I have a few other pre-civil war pieces but nothing that compares to the ones some of the other board members post here. I'll be retiring in a couple of years and perhaps I'll get into photography. Thanks again for the offer.

fc

yea. i was teasing a bit. but that 64-S is a real nice coin
in any grade. i always see them go for 1000s of dollars.

kranky

If I had any photos, I'd post 'em.

Stuart

I want to see some of DizzleCC's PL & DMPL Morgan Dollar Photos.

Don't ya just love it!!!!

lava

I'd like to post some, but since my disc got stuck in my computer and I can't get it out, I'm locked out.

fc

lava, just take a paper clip, straighten it out, and put it into
the little hole that disc type drives ussually have.

it forces the drive or disk out. cdroms and dvd drives have them.
what kind is yours

Posted my first coin today!

I find some strange comfort in learning that I am not alone. I do not have a digital camera, and thus am unable to post images of my reference collection of half dimes. This has been frustrating at times, as I have many examples that have been discussed here, in many different die states, but all that I can do is discuss them, with no images. I have been the brunt of many jokes, asking when I will join the twenty-first century, and I hope to rectify that situation soon. Geez, next thing you know I will break down and get one of them cell phone contraptions.

fc

those without cameras, may not realize you can get
a full kit for taking macro pictures for less than 40 dollars.

it will allow very big hi res pics. the ricoh is always mentioned
as a beginners camera. ebay has them for sale. forum members
may be willing to part with theirs. just ask!

Still doesn't help getting it to a host site then retreiving it without the red X showing up.

fc

uncle,

that is no problem too. quite a few of us here work for ISPs.
we have the power to give someone space for free.

but lets face it, if you are buying 100 dollar coins, you can afford
a year of web space for 45 dollars ;-)

also, anyone of us would help show users how to upload
and create links here in this forum.

also, there is free hosting. members mention it all the time.
i forget the names, but just once again ask :-)

Add me to the list. When I can figure out how to properly photograph something in less than an hour, I'll be there. But I probably have the wrong camera to boot. In any case I have put out a number of my better pieces (show and tell) at CT and MA coin shows. So BigD5, EVP, Nocerino, Nick Chabot, and others have had glimpses of some of them.

Is there anyone else to add to the list?
