Not to be flippant (sp?) I do wholeheartily support our troops in Iraq and the mission they are to complete and I hope our losses as well as their civilian losses are kept to a minimum, but with that said,

Which do you think will be quicker ---

(A) The time it takes the US Military to overthrow Sadam

or

(B) The time it takes PCGS to grade a 10 coin minimum submission sent the same day the war begins.

But wouldn't it be strange if our military can overthrow a government faster then PCGS can grade 10 coins?

    I got a grand on the the troops! Any takers?

    No, I'd probably lose a grand that could be spent on coins.

    It is not particularly humerous to equate the deadly serious bussiness of war, with the

    frivolous hobby of coin collecting. I have never known anyone to be killed or maimed by

    receiving a bad grade. On the eve of war, this is not an appropriate thread.image

    Bear -- relax, again I posted the fact that I was not being humorous and I do support our military. Perhaps my post was a commentary on the efficency of our fighting men and women.

    My father's folded flag and dog tags sit in my office as a daily reminder of his service in the Korean Conflict and Germany and I have a War Bond Poster 7th illustrating the raising of the US flag @ Iwo Jima, were my grandfather's brother fought and was wounded. I am well aware of the serious business of war and the impact it has.

    Frattlaw,

    My choice (as I am enjoying a jelly donut, I hear they are becoming extinct) is A.
    My eBay Items

    I love Ike dollars and all other dollar series !!!

    I also love Major Circulation Strike Type Sets, clad Washingtons ('65 to '98) and key date coins !!!!!

    If ignorance is bliss, shouldn't we have more happy people ??

    Hmmm, sure PCGS might take longer but they don't buy $600 toilets.

    Keep that in mind.

    If PCGS had our military's budget they could grade all of their coins in less than a day and all for free and still have a humongous profit left over.

    Not a good comparative.

    Bad thread in bad taste? Puhleeeese.. this is a joke. While some try to make it sound like Irag is going to be another Vietnam, it isn't and it will be over quickly. Some of you need to lighten up and if you think the thread is in bad taste, don't respond to it.

    The answer is (A) and oreville, I will gladly pay for $600 toilet seats (although those figures thrown around are a bit of "urban legend" and are a result of spreading costs over projects in a way that only governement accountants can justify). And I will gladly pay for the $300 hammers because they are protecting our freedom and will ultimately ensure that my 11 year old daughter will not grow up in fear.
