Two years left before the end of the World, December 21, 2012....are you planning to sell your coins

ambro51

Now I know....silly. BUT, is it?



Face it, you just dont know, do you.

You think, naw, thats just silly...the world wont end.


Did the people sitting in the twin towers on September 10 2001 think those buildings would be a pile of rubble the next day?


So...you just never know, do you?


Are you making plans? Selling off your coin collection?


Or...just winging it like 99.98 percent of the population?


Is there "something to this"?


I guess we wont know


for another two years


and a day.

JJM

so is the cash you get gonna be any more hep to you then your coins if the world comes to a end???

garrynot

dpoole

I wish you'd keep this under your hat. I was going to sell my stuff to dumb people who didn't know about it.

rmpsrpms

Only the copper ones.

Steve27

No, I'm planning to sell placards which read "THE END IS NEAR!" How many would you like?

jesbroken

Yeah, that's the ticket, I'll sell my coins and buy that farm land I've been looking at, and maybe buy a new tractor, too.

I beleive an article was released saying the mayan calander was off by a few thousand years. So........no, I wont be selling. If the world is ending, that will be my last priority.

Coinsponge

Good news is the Bible doesn't talk about the end of the world but it does talk about major change for sure. On a personal level though, our world could come to an end at any time so it is best to live life with that in mind. There may be reasons to sell but not because it is the end of the world. Whatcha gonna do with any cash from the sale anyway.

WillieBoyd2

As the world did end, I deleted my post.

The Mayans made note of something , however if you ask a Mayan it wasn't anything remotely to do with an end to this world.It's the people selling books that make those claims.
Its known the sun will emit solar pulses for want of a better word , and chances are it could mess up some electronics but they said that in 2000 too didnt they ? Respected scholars reckon it's these solar pulses that were noted as they repeat in cycles.It's amazing how many people think the Mayans somehow mysteriously disappeared , no , they are still there right where they should be and telling us this end of the world bs is nothing to do with them.

llafoe

The Mayan worker that initially created the calendar unexpectedly died as he finished the calendar for the year 2012. After his death he was replaced by a member of the local calendar writers union. There were contract negotiations, promises made, intentions unfulfilled... regretfully, through all the efforts of the union to protect their member from being mistreated, there was no time for the worker to continue work on the calendar. Now you know the rest of the story.

silverpop

the world isn't ending it will keep going on for another 3 billion years

the Mayan empire was destoryed by spain in the 1500's so guess what that means the so called calendar is unfinished

What good what it do?

I don't know, but I am taking the wine cellar and the burl walnut bookshelves and library with me.

I don't know, the Seven Plagues and Seven Bowls of God's Wrath does destroy the old earth...
I'm holding on to my coins

ricko

I find it difficult to believe that anyone places an iota of credence in this claptrap. What rubbish. Neither calendar nor book (and I do not care what book you cite) has any credible effect or influence on our existance - NONE whatsoever. No one can predict the future and only the 'tin foil hat' crowd lends any credence to this garbage. Cheers, RickO

crazyhounddog

Yes, the planets will all be in line, which in turn will create title waves, earth quakes, total destruction and we WILL all die !!! I don't know what I'm going to do

rlarick

There is no denying that life as we know it will end sooner, rather than later by some cataclysmic natural event beyond our control. Earths history is well documented to this effect. Predicting when, is another matter all together that will be borne out of scientific conjecture whether already determined by the Mayans planetary alignment or yet to be found. It is going to happen. The end is near!

What confounds me is the relative short existence of human intelligence in respect to evolution of other species. I wonder, will artificial intelligence save or destroy us first?

WTCG

You won't need them after the 21st so can I have your house, car and tv?

JamesMurray

Thats twice ive seen "the end is near" in this thread...come on guys , lets get it right , its "the end is nigh" gloom and doom merchants please take note.

ColonelJessup

I will be buying intensely for the two week period starting Dec 1, 2012. Please ship all purchases Express Mail.

BillyKingsley

If anyone truly believes their life will end on 12/21/12, please pack up all your coins and currency and send them to my PO box. You won't need them, so it won't hurt to send them to me, right?

Just don't expect me to send them back on 1/1/13

SkyMan

Thinking about the people taken out by meteorites, there was a woman in CT. in the first half of the 20th century (I can't remember exactly, but somewhere in the 1935-55 range) who was serving tea at her house. As she was handing over the teacup and saucer to a guest a meteorite plowed through the hostess' roof, directly through the teacup/saucer, through the table top, and buried itself into the floor between the hostess' foot and the guest's foot. Nobody was hurt. An inch to either side the hostess would have lost her hand/arm or either of the two ladies would have lost a leg.

Bear

If the true end of life will be at hand, then nothing really matters. If on the other hand

a more modest series of misfortunes should occur, I will stock emergency supplies in

2012 just in case. My expectation is, that nothing out of the ordinary will happen, much

like the millennium crisis.

Earth is like a big ball of Silly Putty. However, perhaps it is just the people that are silly.

MrEureka

Two years left before the end of the World, December 21, 2012....are you planning to sell your coins beforehand?

Yes. In fact, I'm already panic-selling. Stop by the table and take advantage of me.

bushmaster8

Maybe the Mayans forsaw 1099's?

anablep

You might want to trade your coins for bullets.

As for me, I fully expect Dec. 22, 2012 to arrive as expected.

melvin289

So the Mayan calandar stops on 12/21/12. Ours stops on December 31st. What happens then ? It starts all over with January 1st. My thinking is that on December 22nd, 2012 the Mayan calandar will start all over again. At least I hope it will.

Theres an elephant in the room here methinks , if the Myans were so adept at predicting the future as is the current trend , why couldn't they predict their own demise or the Spanish with all that ensued ?
If i could tell the future id start with mine in the here and now , not in 600 years time.Oh wait , i can predict the future in 600 years time , every single one of us will be panbread.

renman95

I'm sure there are some forumites hoping they will last long enough to see 12-21-12.

ProofArtworkonCircs

<<Theres an elephant in the room here methinks , if the Myans were so adept at predicting the future as is the current trend , why couldn't they predict their own demise or the Spanish with all that ensued ?>>

They almost had it right with the Spanish. I don't know if it was the Aztecs or the Mayans. But in a certain year sacred White Men would arrive from the East by sea. It being the right year, sentries were placed on the coast to welcome them. That is how they first met the Spanish, but things went downhill fast.


EDIT:

It turns out modern historians take a dim view of this story.

I believe Albert Einstein was concerned about this date also. Not for the same resons as the Mayans though. He was concerned that the Gravitational effects of the lining up of the planets, could cause one or more planets to shift on there access when this event took place. He was still working on this when he died.

Einstien understood Gravity better then anyone before him or since him. If he was concerned then so should we be.

If the end of the world comes, I hope to be sitting in my house,

with a stiff drink in my hands and a fervent prayer on my lips holding

Mrs Bears paw in mine.

This isnt the first time the planets have aligned though

Leonidas

If anyone is interested just google Nibiru and it's dwarf star. Or Einstein's Polar Shift.

Even if it was going to happen (It's Not) Who in this world would even take precautions are even be concerned ? Everything would be Bye Bye.

Edited to add....there are better fiction tales on this message board.

If you survive 2012, you still got till 2029 to sell your coins.
I think that is the year the earth and an huge asteroid are on a collision course to intersect.

bidask

I don't give any credibility to pagans.

I like my coins with "IN GOD WE TRUST".....thank you.

ricko

"Einstien understood Gravity better then anyone before him or since him."

This is not correct. Current scientific knowledge exceeds that of Einstein, by an order of magnitude. Cheers, RickO

ambro51

haha what a fun thread.

Interesting when smart people discuss idiotic ideas

Prethen

Tell ya what. If the world ends on that date, I'll let you have my entire collection for face.
