    How could you have any idea about that based on the (lack of) information in the post?

    How do you take your photos? They appear soft, dull, and grainy. Defiantly need significant improvement.

    I'd guess the images of these coins were taken through the plastic holder and holding the camera too close to the coins, which can block light and be too close for the lens to focus.

    What does "in convenient take home packs" mean?

    Maybe this is what he means:
    The common capital plastic holders are convenient for giving to his kids too take home, however even with that logic included I'm still left wondering (as I'm sure everyone else is as well) what make this OP discussion worthy.

    Based on the large number of threads he’s started here and on the World & Ancient coin forum recently, I’m guessing that he’s bored and/or would like some interaction and attention.

    I thought so - for about $15 at the time and most of the coins where very decent conditions. It was a gift for my 12 year old son (who is now 29).

    I like these war nickel short sets. I've got a couple; one in a plastic non-capital holder, the other in an old Wayte Raymond board that has an unfortunate bend in it, probably from decades of storage against something.

    You didn't use the word "desperate", but I basically still agree. ;)

    A capital.plastic holder is more impresive.

    Had you invested in bitcoin instead of this single set when your son was 12 years old, he'd have enough cash to purchase a home and enough left over to purchase 100 of these sets of nickels to pass out as party gifts at his 30th birthday party.

    And if you and I had invested in bitcoin the first year it traded publicly, we might have been able to do the same. But that’s beside the point.

    I've seen MANY threads on this forum that, to me, are WAY LESS "discussion worthy", so I'm not going to bust on the OP for this one.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
