    Lately he has pumped up his post count by commenting on market phenomena in iambic pentameter and with a laconic reggae beat:

    Intended as a celebratory haiku in lieu of a virtual Premium Grolsch

    Funky monkey
    Burned now clunky Norweb white
    Lustre elsewhere.

    5th-graders.. I only count percentages, not syllables, so perhaps "Ouch"?

    If someone could linkify to an 1855 Arrows 25c PCGS PR65CAM (HA 2/2009) (now CAC) I bought there., my sentiments will be most clearly conveyed. B)

    Thanks

    Not sure this will meet the high standard to be @ricko approved for lack of toning ;)

    Thanks. The toning is highly accentuated by the HA imaging.
    I just take the coin home once a year and behold it. :)
    Essentially black-and-white with light toning at the rims.

    The cloudy area between stars 9-10 is actually a planchet void without which it's an easy 66.
    Deceptively messed up image.

    All my other tribute coins still need another dipping :D

    One I handled Last year and sold to my mentor. Few have seen until now! Just for Ricko!
    Pop one discovery coin in GSA non CC hardpack. It was a big day offering selling my mentor a coin for his collection :)

    50K is one heck of a lot of posts. Here's the best I can do for you Ricko when it comes to blast white. I suspect in your eyes a dip is in order, ;)

    I have no pix to share but congrats to Ricko on 50K posts!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I don't think he'd mind if I throw in some "modern junk." (proof like...blast white),,BTW. Congrats on your 50k
