    My gosh, you really do want that plane to crash on me..I will resist a logical response in a gesture of manners. This question has been designed to goad me, I know it. Respectfully, John Curlis

    Where is the NO button???????

    Go to Early United States Coins - to order the New "Early United States Half Dollar Vol. 1 / 1794-1807" book or the 1st new Bust Quarter book!

    Those who can, do.
    Those who can't, write books about it.

    If Schrodinger's cat has it, then the event is 'confusing' and the cat is/is not alive. Respectfully, John Curlis

    RWB -

    We all have difficult days, especially the researchers of this stuff. Remember, you only get one great day each year in doing American numismatic research.

    As for the poll, I would have voted, but I ain't a registered voter...

    Have fun at ANA signing your award winning books (that didn't copy anything from anybody).

    PM me if you are looking for U.S. auction catalogs

    Time is up! Thanks to everyone who completed the survey!

    Ah---about the cat - the answer is "Yes."

    Sorry, this poll needs lots more clarification for it to worth a response.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    ....I think when that information comes from a highly reputable souce, such as QDB....who has been immersed in coins and networking contacts for generations, you are best to believe what he says.

    Even when it does stick a needle into your own opinions.image

    Funny you should say that. Recently I quoted QDB's catalog and was quickly shot down by the latest research information on the Planters Bank token. See Thread

    Kind of a one sided poll isn't it image

    Believe nothing that you read unless you can verify it firsthand. The coin business is built on stories people made up over the years to sell coins, not on good research.

    Next poll question:

    All coin discussion should be:

    1) Happy talk

    2) Happy glowing talk

    3) Glowing happy talk

    4) Monkey urine (*)

    (*) optional
  • GoldbullyGoldbully Posts: 17,907 ✭✭✭✭✭
