    I am a shareholder of HSY so please be courteous on these boards......

    and post a coin made of chocolate! And don't forget this is the U.S. Coin Forum so make sure it's representative of a U.S. Coin!

    Yes, there are a lot shareholders on this forum.

    And we should be goodwill ambassadors.

    Collectors rightly perceive PCGS grades coins to a higher standard.

    This is especially true on modern coins. Just compare the populations - and the prices realized - with the competitors.
    PCGS graded coins command higher prices.

    We shouldn't chastise a poster, but a better approach would be to educate them on the reality of the market place.

    The best coins are in PCGS holders.

    Here is just one example.

    OMG.....

    Someone is either:
    Drinking very well right now
    On something medicinal
    Really feeling lonely
    Screwing with everyone here
    Been here before and is back as someone different
    Needs a hug
    Is having problems and trying to reach out
    Needs lessons in how to interact with others in a social setting
    Craves attention

    Any combination of the above......


    I long for the days of coin posts...informative, instructional, just plain fun.
    Show the coins in the 7070/type sets. Don't have to have the EAC in MS70 to be nice, just show good honest coins.
    Show toned coins.....toned progressions....coin templates.
    Show recent purchases that aren't just for immediate sale.
    Show coins sold and missed.
    Show coins that "return home" like ET
    Show crackouts graded or genned and try to figure out what.
    Show crossovers (either way)
    Talk about great interactions with members/dealers
    Ask for coin advice (the recent "clean the loupe" is an example....a good question, a good thread)
    etc etc etc.

    I really do miss those days when those types of threads dominated and weren't tossed aside with all the off topic postings that happen these days.

    the Romans do but I don't represent Rome. I represent the US.

    My bad. Regardless though, the PCGS Authorized Dealer has always been the mainstay of PCGS Submissions.

    Owning stock in a company does not give you authority to speak on behalf of it.

    I saw the old thread and thought about rule reminding too. Sinus headache and chaos theory later and I chose to let others do it. Little did I know it'd blow up.

    I've improperly asked about buying OGP in thread here instead of the BST.

    CAC is discussed still.

    We're all working towards rules compliance -- With exceptions on the extreme side who get bammed.


    Hopefully this is all part of the self-correcting process that I say the forum has.

    That severe (note modifier) taint is well known. Note well known.

    I explained this in response to an airplanenut post of similar topic:

    There is debate, or was, about the degradation of the concentration camps.
    Let them disappear or renew and keep them up

    My advice is to keep them up

    There was a dot com bubble followed by a housing bubble followed by a commodities and fixed rate bubble. How fast we don't learn.

    They are reminders and might help to keep history from repeating itself.



    Note in the Nobel thread I specifically said "I'm not saying don't buy it (or collect), just be aware of the baggage."

    Although what he said was not as bad as genocide, it is a taint I wanted to be sure people know.

    If ISIS wants to submit their coins to the U.S. for grading, they may submit through Guantanamo Bay.
    Not sure PCGS has a field office there, yet.

    So is COLLECTOR CUSTOMER BASE a person,place or thing?

    Now THAT is a great question. I think it's (collector customer base) a PEOPLE who are likeminded , using the same place (service) for the same "things" (collectibles).

    It was like the wild wild west by the time I got here in '02. People shot first and asked questions
    later. The open forum was actually tamer but almost impossible to control smoetimes. It was an
    embarrassment when it was out of control. It was easier to shut down than police.
