Say, if I just went ALL IN on CAC instead of quitting coins......

I could have an "INVESTMENT" :)

Birds would sing
The sun would shine
People would respect me
I would be honored beyond all imagination on the forum.
Auction houses would start following me around.
I would be a true NUMISMATIST.
Peace would guide the planets
Nobody would steal my lunch money again or kick sand in my face.

Hmmmmmm................ ;)o:)B)

    You need to decide weather you are a collector, an investor, or neither! Still trying to figure out where you or going or what your motives are with all your topics recently!

    Found the glitch. The CAC coins are snubbing the non CAC coins and the entire box is becoming unruly.
    After they "have it out" I might better be able to judge the merits of this whole idea. :|

    They equate. Actually, no they don't. I pity ole Col. Greene.
    No stickers. :'(
    I understand there is a movement afoot to strip him of the "numismatist" designation as he might not have had completely pristine material in his cigar box.

    We should all join to defeat this campaign.

    I mean he just didn't know any better.

    Neither did I until a short while ago but I've now seen the light. B)

    Topstuff, the coins you have left, infrequently add, and show us are nice pieces regardless of the frames or labels.

    To me, it's the coin and the price, and how hard the issue is to find nice.

    When resale time eventually comes, is when I'll think about frames and labels.

    Hopefully the buyers will enjoy the rarity and value of the appearance as much as possible in their then-currently fashionable clothes.

    Has anyone ever seen Colonel Jessup and
    and Paul Nugget together at the same time?

    I have a sneaking suspicion they're one in the
    same person, based solely on their linguistic
    ability and verbal nuances.

    Legend Auction's Greg Cohen's son Benny gets Paul and I confused, which sorta proves there are two of us. Which doesn't mean we aren't the same person. :*

    I actually bought my very first $20 (84-CC unc-ish) from Paul through the window at MTB (1972). Our signatures on the invoice are clearly not legible, which may further validate your observation :*:D

    Paul's wife, "The Sainted Beth", is, however, quite emphatic about pronounced differences in our mustard-stains.
    Paul 's linguistic abilities are limited to Scrabble. He is incapable of forming multi-paragraph sentences.
    Also not probative. :'(

    To the OP: There's an online auction in Ulan Bator in 45 minutes.

    You better not be trash talking the Paul who is also "otis" on an obscure forum that is very secret to join.

    While I'm typing, a thought occurs to me.
    What if one's CAC coins decide they're too good for the collector and decide to tarnish badly?

    Then they should beat him/her about the head for not storing them properly.

    He may not make the Ulan Bator online auction. Rumor has it he's heading to Chimoubagau, Quebec, to do some ice fishing.

    When you're getting more gratification from your suffering than your coins, it's likely getting to be about that time :/
    Want even more pain?
    Sell what you've got without any CAC processing.

    Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.
    If you choose to remain a victim, you now qualify as a volunteer.
