Slow morning at home. Got bored. Haven't done much on CU, so I just threw out some coin posts. At least one person objected via PM, asking "what if everybody did that?"
If everybody did that, it would be an active forum, and I kinda thought sharing coins was what these forums were for.
But yeah, he had a valid point. It was a bit much, coming all at one time like that. Didn't mean to be annoying.
It's all cool Rob. I think it gets folks to post more. Over the years, your post have brought a lot of fun to the members here. I enjoy seeing new threads.
There is something to be said for both sides. New members often do it and it is annoying. The fact that you got a PM about it is what I have done twice in the past. Now, I enjoy seeing coins I will never own so bring them on. We all have a keyboard to go to another discussion rather than play moderator.
I wish members would post a brief note about the coin they post. It would be interesting to learn its history, what makes it special, the story of why and how you bought it, etc. This is not my original idea. I read this suggestion years ago on Coin Talk. That way, we learn something rather than look at pretty pictures.
There’s no reason to apologize and nice to see you posting again. Last time I checked this is a coin forum and everyone of your posts generated multiple responses with cool looking coins.
Rob, you did nothing wrong, you've been here for decades, no reason to say sorry for any of this.
Whomever is not OK with these threads can just ignore and read other threads, simple solution.
Nice seeing you post, many of us have passed on, stay well and stay connected.

FWIW....it wasn't me! 🤣😂
I didn't even notice your other threads today except for this one which I thought was a resurrected thread from the past because I haven't seen you post recently.

Well I’m really disappointed that you didn’t post a “Is this an error thread”. I found this one at the gas station just yesterday. Is it valuable?

Just ignore the private poster or respond to them privately. The public forum is for cool coin posts, which you have delivered.
I think that you are 100% okay with putting a few threads up.
Your right it's a coin forum.
Let's see some coins.

Absolutely agree with this - post as many as you want. It’s actually prompting me to explore my collection.

It's all good Rob ... unless some newbie hacked your account!

Did not bother me. Post away. Keeps the forum active.
I should just space em out more.
Kinda felt like I had a theme going.
Great coins and a great idea . . .

Your coins are terrific!
Keep posting and don’t worry about it.
My next thread should probably apologize for THIS thread eclipsing all the coin discussion threads I posted. Again, unintended consequences.
Ditto what others said. Sure beats the scammers and "I saw $70k for a bicentennial quarter on Google and Etsy."

Wow, true story.
I'm always glad to see you post here. I miss your regular participation. You always have something interesting to show/discuss.
At least you weren’t posting modern clad coins and asking for values 😝
Keep em coming i say
