    Well, I guess some here need a lesson in literary license. There is a major clue in the OP. Maybe Oreville can translate when he returns from vacation... image

    Took me a minute . . . been watching a late-night movie on NetFlix and it's after 2:00 am.

    But now I got it. Shame on me. I teach English and Literature . . and I can only excuse my lack of literary license on the hour.

    But I'll be waiting now. I'll still have the only Peace Dollar though . . . I think.

    Oreville won't have to translate . . .

    "Coming soon....."

    Give me a point of reference here.....are we talking in geologic terms or gnat longevity terms? Humans needing to micturate need to know.....

    I would assume that "in the dark" implies black NGC holders, even this early in the morning.

    how many commims are in a gaggle? It takes at least 7 geese to equal an gaggle. So it could be 7 or more?

    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    Your use of terms like "micturate" is starting to piss me off.

    I am off to AT a coin by holding it over my burning thesaurus.

    I have to disagree with those who say buy the coin and not the holder.

    The proper holder gives a measure of confidence in a coins genuineness

    appropriate grade and market acceptability. While certainly not absolute

    on all three issues, a PCGS holder has gone a long way to assure these

    issues along with a reasonable company backed insurance program.


    Having these assurances under ones belt, a collector can then examine the

    coin and determine if the overall appearance of the coin meets the collectors

    own standard of excellence and whether or not the coin will fit in with the rest

    of the collection. Finally, the collector must determine for their self, if the cost of

    the coin, in relation to the grade and appearance ,represents good value for the money.

    You make some very good points

    (especially considering what time of the year it is and what bears normally do during Jaunuary.)

    Just this past September, a man was arrested, for matriculating in front of several hundred

    young college students. Just appalling.
