    I second the motion. Somehow RUSS seems to get the right feeling behind it. He is the best I can think of.image

    You're only nominating him so that you can gloat every time he has to tell you. image

    I agree... some people have picked up on the "YOU SUCK" and have applied to things that do not fall into the "YOU SUCK" category... which is, raw cherrypicks of killer 50s and 60s Proof and SMS coins... a "YOU SUCK" is not a Modern Commem that is a dime a dozen in PR69DCAM (Maybe a PR70DCAM... but......) or a Morgan Dollar you bought for $40 that's worth $50...

    I second Marty's Nomination!

    Really the YOU SUCK is when you buy a coin for $10 and after slabbing it's worth 100 times at amount, or 1000 X that amount. With the exception on Cameron, we all know he just plain old sucks!

    I'm honored to be nominated, but I must decline. I think any and all should be encouraged to toss in a YOU SUCK when warranted. It takes a village to raise a YOU SUCK. We must stand together in YOU SUCKDOM.

    What about buying a coin for $1 and after slabbing it's worth 100 times that amount? In other words, is the essence of suck in the percentage value jump or the quantitative value jump?

    I only ask because I've made coins that jumped 100x in value, but never sold one for more than a couple of hundred bucks. Do I need to make a four-figure coin to suck, or do I suck already? My self-esteem rests on your decision. image

    Russ always sucks, it's a given. Sort of like Cameron, but in a different way.

    It has already been determined that Russ (for his AH Kennedy in PR68DCAM), Don (for his 66 Kennedy in MS68DCAM) and me (for my 61 Frankie in MS66FBL) are members in the YOU SUCK! club. YOU SUCKS! are handed out here like candy, but it takes the EL SUCKO GRANDE! coin to get you in the club!

    Ah, that sets the bar then. Didn't someone here make a SMS nickel in 68DCAM? He probably Sucks[TM] too.

    A 1966, and I believe it was Glen (melikecoins). Until recently it was a pop 1/0 for all the years. Somebody made a 1967 in MS68DCAM a couple months ago, though.

    Hey, I've sent hundreds of dollars to total strangers who sent me modern crap in return. Do I get in the club?

    Oh, wait, I thought this was the village idiot thread. Sorry.

    I like that one image I think someone needs to be assigned to award the official YOU SUCK so as to not make it an overused phrase, and really end up meaning nothing.......

    Knowing Marty...I don't think I want to know what the "nonimating" entails.
