Happy Birthday, Russ!

I'll tell you what, you really have learned a hell of a lot since you first came here, and you did it with hard work and by betting your own money on your skills. Gotta love that!

Happy 50th, and remember to pitch all the mail you'll be getting from that liberal AARP.

Congrats!

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    One can always hope, I guess. image This would be a great day to make a joke about losing your hair, but I will refrain.

    Happy Birthday smart fellow and like kranky said throw all that liberal stuff away! Get rid of the liberal ideas that have come about like social security, the GI Bill, a standard 40-hour work week, medicare, low interest loans for college and first time home buyers, woman's suffrage (& SBA dollars), forbidding child labor, civil rights, sewer systems, clean water, and those other pesky liberal ideas!
