I've posted the three U.S. coins in the past but with not so good pics. Mike still does a very good job! I remember he and Mark Goodman were the leaders in coin photography many years ago and he is still among the best.

Nice job!!
Your coins don't suck that much, but I'm concerned about the mark on the cheek of the $5.
And honestly, does that "shake 'n 'bake" color work for you? . . .

Rumor has it some old guy really stuck him on that $5

<< <i>Yup...certainly sounds like "that OLD guy"
Mike - I got news for you. We're all getting to be an OLD guy, though hopefully not quite like *that* OLD guy.

The resentment over paying my bills with your SocSec contributions, and for my health with that really cool, really efficient socialistic Medicare, is well deserved. And this is a lovely passive-aggressive way to hide it. . .
I'm remembering a conversation I had with Henry Chapman and Sigmund Freud about this phenomenon. . . . . .
A comment on the Swiss piece. Is this considered choice? Between the pancake strike through the centers and the gouge on the arm, am I stretching to call this a 64?
The copper is "too original". Sorry about that.....

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

This in spades. Great subjects matter and Mike is a Prince ; )

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Umm....NO! Keep guessing though

Postage was $31.70. I'll hold your check until after April 15.

I don't know, did Andy screw me too? I just have him buy me stuff since I can't grade. He buys it, marks it up something small, like 35%, and then I write him a check.
You think Laura rants against the grading challenged dealer...wait til next hot topic comes out ranting against the collectors that can't grade. Or wait...maybe she likes those...I get confused.
Either way, I was a wannabe before you were in diapers! Ooooohh....I think I figured out my title when I hit 10k posts!!! How many characters can I have?

I am still waiting for Loot's check for shipping in the amount of $31.70.
For a guy who likely uses on old Cray computer as a footstool, his math skills need more development. Andy and I eat out at an Indian buffet every time either of us scores on him. . . .
With an a la carte dessert
Andy's markups should not be considered on a percentage basis, but as a logarithm. Orders of magnitude and the Fibonacci series are sometimes invoked as a rationale. This has usually been a bluff. . ..

That little blip? You seem to be a bit critical sir.

Not to pick nits, but isn't the "gouge on the arm" part of the design? Great looking coin, great color!

Not knowing the series, which is not a shocker to many, I factored in the possibility that this might somehow be a mint factor outside of my range of competence. This caution kept me from calling the "gouge" a "trench". Now, knowing it is not PMD, I will simply call it an "abyss"
Let us not mistake this for hyperbole; it is merely typical Forum hysteria. . . .
I will concede that the coin has virtues that totally blow me away, but there's no reason to go all Pollyanna over it.. . . .
The pics are probably just too accurate . . . .
Another pic for the trench finders.

Re Hot Topics: Someone noticed.
Laurie's blood pressure is now 242/128. She is distracting herself by giving advice to Kerry about Iran. Nucleararity? She has experience.
I might have given her your cell #, but held back when she started mumbling about GPS coordinates and drone payload capacity. I heard McCain singing "Barbara Anne" in the background when she asked for your work address.
Is NSA open on weekends?
There are multiple levels of awareness regarding the coins in question. In some cases, I know they are teasing. In other cases, they know that I know. Now, after this post, many others know that I know that they know.
The fun from here out will be to see how many people gloss over the thread and the fun can start anew.

Try googling "ROE Asymmetrical Response".
I mention I'm on the hook for $31.70.
You can't handle it?
Hear me out.
Let's bury the hatchet.
Hold the hostility.
I'll hold the check.
Don't get so hot around the collar.
Have some hummus for lunch.
Huh?
Happy holidays.
Have a nice day.
Hand me my meds.
My psychotherapist is a numismatic fundamentalist with post-graduate work in both nuclearity and conflict resolution.
And she has a drone.
In the end, admit it. Truthiness is on my side.

To answer your question, the NSA have been recruiting the math whizzes out of school every other weekend. I can never tell if it was abduction or not. They always come back compliant

Do you have any memory of where you were and what you were doing last weekend?
Waking up tied-up and half-naked in a sorority house basement is NOT an abduction.
Please remember to bring Rick his meds when you guys have your Saturday night romantic dinner tonight.
Thank you.

Would it be an abduction had I woken up in a fraternity house basement??
