    I don't believe that I will be buying this coin if it gets issued.

    I also won't be buying this coin and I actually like Trump. That portrait of him is horrible and I've given up buying the overpriced crap that the mint is putting out. A Superman coin? Give me a freaking break. :s

    Hey, I bought the Supermam coin! In silver, because the gold was too expensive. So, I half agree. Lol

    Damn I missed the Supermam coin that could be a sleeper collectible.

    If it helps ease the sting, the gold and silver versions are still available on the mint website. I dont really follow them, but afaik the .5 oz gold coin and the 1 and 2.5 oz silver medals sell at a decent discount on ebay. Nice if you want one, something to consider re; long term investment.

    How about $8647?

    The comment reads “How about eight thousand six hundred forty-seven dollars?”

    This coin has not even been released yet, and there may be a second. Some need to take a deep breath, this ship has barely sailed.

    If anyone is feel seasick, go to the rail in private and do what you have to do, but please allow the rest of us to enjoy the ride if we choose. A coin is hardly worth losing sleep over, or posting privileges.

    Over time, the actual meanings of some words do change. And it often has to do with the context in which they are used.
    @MFeld started a great thread recently that's somewhat related to this https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1121634/interchangeable-numismatic-terms-that-are-used-to-describe-coins

    The rub, here in this thread, is that plenty of us are well aware that since the first administration of that guy on this potential coin and especially his supporters have decided that the meanings of lots of words have suddenly changed.
    For the rest of us, no, the meanings of those words have not changed. Mean tweets don't magically change the meanings of words for most of us.
    I could give lots of examples of this, but I can't without making it 100% political.
    I'm actually surprised the president didn't demand some of those words be on this coin.

    In addition to the meaning of certain words evolving over time for much of society, some words have different meanings to different people, regardless of whether they have evolved for the general populace. As one example, the word “literally” has a very specific meaning to me (and maybe a few other people, as well). I take and use the word “literally”, literally. But many others apply it to situations far removed from literally.

    I actually received an email from a student who contacted me about missing class because she "was literally dead". First Zombie email i ever received.

    That be a first for many of us as well

    This thread has given me more laughs than any late night show in years.

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

    I am sorry that the term 8647 has taken on a different meaning for the OP and others. I am quite certain that Captain didn’t mean it in that context. After all, up until 2 years ago it meant something completely different on both sides, not just one side. I can see why it generated offense but I also can certainly see why the Captain won’t follow blunt instructions and delete it. Pardon the unintentional offense.

    From a numismatic standpoint, I’m not in favor of a sitting President putting his own likeness on an American coin. From an esthetic standpoint, the obverse is fugly and self fulfilling in imagery. It has nothing to do with uplifting America and everything to do with uplifting an immense ego.

    And I’m done with this thread.

    Indeed.

    And where is the official bulletin board that tells us that these are the new definitions for words that we must use? If, say, a certain closed circle of people suddenly decide that something "very good" is "sick" or "dope," why are the rest of us required to use those definitions for those words, if indeed we are even aware of the new, but extremely limited, usages?

    I said nothing wrong. To remove my comment under duress would be to declare that I had said something wrong. I did not.

    No. It would be to choose to defuse the situation before you or someone else is punished for a silly argument. Don't let pride get in the way of common sense

    @CaptHenway @Morgan White @tradedollarnut

    Can't we just all take a deep breath and delete a few posts? It is such a trivial spat that I would hate to lose any of you over it. This absolute stubbornness over who meant exactly what and who "knows" exactly what is so trivial in the scheme of things.

    Sorry, but I was falsely accused of saying something that I did not say. I am waiting for an apology and a retraction.

    And who wins if PCGS just chooses to ban everyone. All the prideful people get to follow Roger B ATS.

    I find the forum ATS kludgy and not very user friendly, at least on my phone. Maybe it's better with a PC, idk.

    Given the mint pricing of gold, and this might be well over an ounce. This will definitely not be within my budget.

    Common sense went out the door during the failed attempt to be clever, pithy, and funny.

    Common sense went out the door during the successful insult directed at 75% of the US population.

    For some reason, AI seems to garble our language...any letter is just a pointless design to AI.

    I'm not sure what AI engine you're using, but I do not have that problem with Chat GPT 5.2

    I should use that one...I was just using Meta's AI...Chat GPT is definitely superior. I even put words like Liberty, Justice, and Freedom in quotes...it didn't help!

    For images Nano Banana 2 is amazing https://gemini.google/overview/image-generation/

    I tried it by adding Lady Liberty, and honestly I think this should be the design - ignoring the text, of course.

    Nice, I'll give you that! All else aside, that design is WAY better than the current actual design.

    Nobody nicer than Jay Leno.

    You were in the presence of a truly great man, Goldbully.

    Jay Leno cares for his wife of 46 years, Mavis, who suffers from advanced dementia. Mavis is lucky to be able to stay at home so that she can be around her husband Jay on a daily basis. I would bet that Jay would give up his entire rare car collection if he could buy a cure for Mavis' dementia.

    I met Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers) once. I've met a few celebrities in my career in the entertainment business (on the wrong side of the camera) but none made an impression on me like Fred Rogers did. Fred Rogers, a wonderful example of what being a man is, or should be, all about, in my opinion.

    I have a movie recommendation for you all. Check this one out even if you have already seen it in some year past:

    A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019)

    Tom Hanks is perfect as Mister Rogers. ;)

    Einstein’s view of God was non-traditional and pantheistic, focusing on the harmony, order, and intelligibility of the cosmos rather than a personal deity. His quotes reveal a profound respect for the universe’s mysteries, a belief in rational laws, and a moral philosophy grounded in compassion and understanding, bridging science and spirituality.

    An Open Forum to our hosts here would represent quite a bit more work (and headaches) to maintain than this relatively tame, low maintenance forum does. Doing more work for no identifiable gain or advantage to look forward to is a poor business model.
