Just a comment on the de-evolution of the forum

I am a relative newby by the standards of many of you that post here regularly. When I first discovered this site a few months back after a couple of years reentry into the hobby, it was a breath of fresh air. Lots of extemely knowledgeable people sharing good information, combined with a spirited contest among those who like to do this registry thing. When a troll would wander by they did not last long.

Whether it is the unfortunate influence of ego and competition on the human being or whatever, over the last week or so there is IMHO a noticeable degradation of the quality of the discussions here. It is not too late to get back to normal and maybe a day or two vacation from the board with no posts but those that are related to purely technical coin matters would be good.

Take a deep breath and relax. Happy new year.

    It was about a week ago. Hmmm Everything became destablized. I just wonder...

    Sorry if my post (PCGS Registry 2020) contributed to the de-evolution.

    It was related to the Registry in a sci-fi-fantasy sort of way. I was inspired by another post regarding the discussion of set values being unrelated to the registry grade, and how some coins with tremendous eye-appeal can be worth more than their higher-graded counterparts.

    I got to thinking about how coins will (perhaps) be graded in the future, for better or for worse, by a machine that is able to discern minute details and assign a numerical grade with perfect accuracy. Well, one thing led to another, and before long, I had built a machine that not only graded coins, but dealt and collected them too!

    It could happen... image

    Don't worry about it, Solid. I had no clue what you were talking about, either. I just let it go. Chip, and I are commem collectors. We just have no sense of humor, sorry. image
    PS. BTW, Congrats, Chip. #1 in the NGC registry - commems, right? image

    Yes, but never a boring moment.

    RC,

    Nahh, I'm not worried about it - I'll let my post stand as always.

    Maybe my sense of humor has been warped by the prices I've had to pay for FS Jefferson nickles lately. image

    P.S. - Congrats on getting your Commemorative set pedigreed - it sounds like an awesome set. How did you send it in, by armored delivery?

    Chippewa,

    There's no teapot too small for a tempest. You did mention finding human beings around here! I think you'll find things settling down to normal (didn't you just feel it the last day or two, after RC let off steam?), and we'll all be just fine.

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    Solid. No armored truck, but that must have been it. I've just been SO worried about the USPS handling my babies, that I've taken it out on all you guys. Sorry. image

    I've been thinking more about the inclusion of the Commem subsets in the registry. I think its a great idea. Its garnered plenty of support, so far on this forum. Ya think, that if I/we present the idea to WonderCoin, with our groups approval, he could pass the idea on to Rick, for his approval? Can we use this thread to very informally poll the audience for their opinions? Then we can spearhead the movement, and ram it right through the pcgs boardroom. Thanks for your support. image spooly?

    You have my full, undieing, loyal support. -Subsets for the early Commemoratives it is. (Just don't next panhandle for Kennedy subsets. Let's keep the Registry safe from too much inbreeding).
  • RegistryCoinRegistryCoin Posts: 5,117 ✭✭✭✭
    Great. Spooly, can you have Mitch tell Rick, we think it's a great idea, or
    Mitch, would you please tell spooly, or whomever, to tell Rick that we think it's a great idea, or, maybe I should tell him myself. I don't know. Can we please start a poll to decide if I should tell 'em, Mitch should them 'em or spooly, or a person or persons of his/our choice should tell him. Let's start the movement now. There's only 358 shopping days left until next christmas. image

    Thanks, Mitch. Let's do a test. As you all know, (right here in River City) in this thread, (that begins with a T) we'll start trying to do this project as fast as we can, (and that rhymes with P) and you do it as fast as you can, (and that stands for poor) and we'll see who gets it done faster. OK,,,GO. Mitch has started, and WE NEED TO GET A CONSENSUS. eVERYBODY, INPUT, PLEASE, NOW, then we need to figure how to get our message to Rick. Anybody know Rick?

    Who's Rick?
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
