How cool does a coin have to be to justify teasing the Forum?

Broadstruck · February 8, 2013 1:08PM

Not sure where your going with this but no matter how cool a coin is it's just an inanimate object.

MsMorrisine · February 8, 2013 1:14PM

it'd have to garner a you suck award.

Up to but not exceeding 20º Celsius.

Based on some of the coins I've seen posted over the years, the minimum coolness level is pretty low.

Someone just picked up a roll of dateless Buffalo nickels and there is a thread running on it, so yes, I agree- it doesn't take much.

It took me a few reads. The first time I thought the thread was about tasing the forum.

To answer the question, it has to be lower than a two or higher than a seven on the ol' FatMan Coolness Scale.

Actually, that was me, and it was FIVE rolls of dateless Buffalo nickels.

(But hey... they're all Type 1's!)

When my feelings get hurt... you guy's teasing is excessive. If it comes to that, I'll beg you to refrain. In light of the fact that we are here together, I'd say it's a pretty good mix of everything we need to keep it...

I missed the thread, what kind of grades did you get back?

lordmarcovan · February 8, 2013 3:21PM

The plan is for those to become my new custom elongated coins!

I'm still in discussion with my potential coinsmasher, to see if his press will do nickels, and his punch will do the holes on one end of each. (Gotta keep up my "Holey of Holeys" schtick, y'know.)

Watch out for RYK he wants to tase us!

The requirements are minimal.. especially late at night when 'refreshments' are partaken... Cheers, RickO

ctf_error_coins · February 9, 2013 1:55AM

I have many extremely cool coins that I have not shared, mostly because of the lack of time, which is, the most valuable commodity in the world.

They would have to be if they're dateless, no?

No. There are plenty of dateless type 2 buffalo nickels. That why the date resporation product Nic-O-Date is successful.

Yessss... but you wouldn't know the date off-hand.
LordM stated they're 1913's. . .

razzle · February 9, 2013 2:52AM

Just saw an 1824/2 capped bust dime on a clipped planchet with a hole in the middle of it. Definitely up there on my "cool radar." Don't know if I'll get another look at it, if so, I'll try to get a pic to post.

The type 1 buffalo nickels were only made in 1913 and they can be identified by the reverse design which shows the buffalo standing on a mound. In subsequent years the reverse design shows a buffalo standing on a plain.

Extensive sucking-up is yin to the yang of teasing

lordmarcovan · February 9, 2013 1:34PM

<< I feel like I just saw the plans for the Death Star >>

Oh, if you only knew my secret agenda! Muahahaha!

Actually, 'tis pretty obvious, ain't it. All US Coins should be smashed and elongated.

BTW, the FIVE FREAKIN' ROLLS of DATELESS 1913 T1 Buffs arrived today.

What a wonderful, weighty pile o' slick goodness!

Phase One of Operation Elongate is now complete.

(And hey... nobody has ever accused me of sanity.)

Guess this has just become the Off Topic Forum.

<< Guess this has just become the Off Topic Forum. >>

Oh boo hoo grumble puss

There's plenty of Buffalo talk to make this on-topic!

lava · February 9, 2013 3:25PM

Gee, I read all these posts thinking some cool coin was ultimately going to be up for a potential you suck award, and come away with death star and rolls buffalo, not that those aren't cool, but this thread needs more beef.

lordmarcovan · February 9, 2013 7:40PM

More beef? Hey, 200 Buffalos provide a LOT of meat! (Even if they've been worn a bit flat.)

But since you specified more beef, your wish is my command.
