For me, "That's a coin TomB would be proud to own."

"Keep me in mind if you ever want to sell that coin."

“If you’re ever selling, please give me a call.”
I agree with @Baley and @BryceM. To me, there is no greater compliment about a coin.
That would be “You suck!”
Or a fundraiser to buy a coin for them like for @Paradisefound.
Two different beloved board members once said the following phrases to me and I was very, very flattered....Really made my day.
'You have coins that I will only ever be able to look at pictures of.'
And
'Will you adopt me?'

"You don't LOOK like a coin collector...."
(I can't beat the "I want that coin" angle...)
Nice looking collection
HAPPY COLLECTING
"Are you a young numismatist?"
Wow! You have a great eye for beautiful coins!
A little bit of both ......
"WOW that is definitely rare and cool ....... but ......
Since you like to brag or maybe in another case on the upper uber client's collection ........
...... why can you share a bit of a good will gesture with most of us .... the common collectors alike by a fun give away crumbs?"
on a more serious note:
@crazyhounddog ..... I admire your perseverance as well as your positive vibe despite the Paradise Lost




I thought of this when I saw images of Arco’s full dansco album of Barber Halves in the “give some circulated coins some love” thread:
“Dammit you’re incredibly disciplined, none of those coins in that set is a mistake”.
"you have a good eye for quality coins"
“Would you consider giving me some suggestions and guidance with my collecting?”

"How much do you want for it?"

“Good call on not stocking up on those spouse gold coins from the Mint.”
You have a great coin eye
So you're the one who made me a dreamer. Thanks.

I can barely see the mustard stain on you your shirt,
I have always admired your willingness to Teach others!
Nice coins
Nice to meet you.
Is that a roll of Morgan Dollars in your pocket?

You did the opposite of me? Wow!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
You're still here. After all these years. Man.....that's dedication.
You have to be the sweetest lady I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. You are lovely inside and out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A smile and nod of approval.
NO words needed!
Do you have another one ?
I like this one, Mark.
I have never been about my ego and I will spend, as much time necessary, in order to help anyone.
I enjoy doing that.

I've been thinking of something to post since this morning and this is what I came up with just now.
How long have you been collecting?? Stellar coin please lmk if you ever wanna sell it and of course a smile and a jaw drop is also a priceless feeling IMHO
Same here. Although I haven’t been to a show in quite a while, one of my favorite things to do was sit down with collectors, review coins together and try to impart information and knowledge. I can still do that at the office, on occasion. I felt the same way when I had the privilege of teaching the advanced grading class two times with a few dealer friends at the ANA summer seminar.

That's awesome. I know this first hand, because you have graciously offered me your valuable opinion, on several occasions and I really appreciated it.

"I can lend you my Tide pen for your mustard stain."
What's not to love?

Said to me at a local coin show by a guy whom I got into collecting:
It's all YOUR fault that I collect these things!
Good eye and let me know when you sell.
… I hate you!

Kindness is the greatest wisdom!
