    The short answer is to type fast or learn the secret "handshake".

    You have to PM Russ and request an upgrade. He monitors the posts to the forum and decides when you deserve the bump up. image

  • Bash moderns, bash coins that aren't gold or silver, but bash bullion.

    In other words just have a bash.

    1 is either great or horrible, 10 is either great or horrible. Since I have no clue which one it is, i give everyone a 5.

    If you have a higher rating, just pretend that 10 is better....

  • How do you advance in status?

    That's simple, sit down and shut up!..........image just kidding!

    How do you advance in status?

    Rule #1 ...There is no status without survival...in order to survive here you need a couple of things, # 1 IMO is a thick skin,that will get you through your first couple weeks,
    #2 Is a genuine appreciation of coins and learning about coins, (this will get you through all of the stupid questions that you will ask)
    #3 Is a little "brown nosing" like ....wow that"s a beauty or yeah .......sweet coin....or ..image whether your monitor is turned on or not....
    #4 Read & memorize something about a certain coin type, error vam, variety etc. save it for that special moment..
    .then use it to answer a question from the guy 6 months from now who is asking a similar question to what you are asking now....which btw I think is a great question image
