Isn't that an Olympic sport?

Slow over at your place?

poorguy · November 17, 2006 8:38AM

I don't use them anymore. I haven't spent a coin in about 6 months. I always use my checkcard.

wouldn;t that be a decathalon - oooh, no, discust

pharmer, just had to say I love your icon. Beautiful dime.

You can't even join at that place, I couldn't even pass some lame stupid interview of some sort...

maybe he thought he was TTT"ing his spam on the b/s/t board.

an error like this would result in a banning at his joint.

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 9:14AM

Oh my lord! I've been posting on this site for over 5 years and will continue to because I've been a coin collector for 30 years, you whackos. I know it's going to be hard to talk about coins and act like we're over 12, but try ... just ... try.

LucyBop · November 17, 2006 9:14AM

goose3 · November 17, 2006 9:19AM

Yes sir KING WHACKJOB!

Don't you have some accounts to go delete or some idle threats to make?

Perhaps it's time for you to whip up a fresh batch of beverages for your followers.

dizzyfoxx · November 17, 2006 9:22AM

I'm concentrating on a different coin venue... Seated, Busts, and Barbers will do just fine.

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 9:28AM

I have to assume that this place has redfined "ADULTS" the way it has "FIRST STRIKE."

"I'm concentrating on a different coin venue... Seated, Busts, and Barbers will do just fine."

Colonials here ... but if I was forced not to collect them I would definitely go for old gold instead.

WoodenJefferson · November 17, 2006 9:30AM

I have a nagging question (no not about my wife) it's about my 1997-P Business strike Kennedy.
In one it looks like JFK is wearing a hearing aide...anyone else ever notice this?

.......hearing aide...........................regular strike

pharmer · November 17, 2006 9:34AM

<< Pharmer, what kind of dime is that? Nice... >>

Oh no, you're not gonna get me to carry your thread for you. 1958 Canada. I'm too busy trying to trick/goad sunnywood into doing a hand image of a BC morgan in another thread.

And what's all this fuss about an interview at your place? It's becoming quite the topic. Any place that won't let Lucy in, I ain't goin either. You even let TurtleBilly in, didn't you?

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 9:44AM

Hi Pharmer,

"Oh no, you're not gonna get me to carry your thread for you. 1958 Canada. I'm too busy trying to trick/goad sunnywood into doing a hand image of a BC morgan in another thread."

Carry a thread for me? It is what it my man .. Canadian! I knew I recognized that image .. I couldn't put my finger on it.

"And what's all this fuss about an interview at your place? It's becoming quite the topic. Any place that won't let Lucy in, I ain't goin either. You even let TurtleBilly in, didn't you?"

To get full access by me you have to simply post a greeting (it serves many purposes - and you can see them in the Say Hello forum - it's just a hello then I will transfer you asap). Before that, it also included answering a question about having read the Intro post but I have gotten around that by asking you to confirm having read it when you register. Because I didn't allow instant access to everything (Gallery, Classifieds, forums) and wanted to chat with new arrivals for a minute, people were calling it an "interview." I don't know who TurtleBilly is and can't confirm since they may have used a different name. I didn't not let Lucy in - feel free to PM me about that if you like because I don't think it's right to discuss that here.

pharmer · November 17, 2006 9:54AM

Sorry, I've made it well known that I won't discuss thread stuff in pm's. Has to be out in the open. Anyway, sounds juicy, might really spice up this thread. Let's hear it!

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 10:07AM

Pharmer, I'll pass - thanks.

------------------------
Or.....we could just have 2 definitions for "First Strike" like NGC does.

I read the 2 article in this week's Coin World with a big smile on my face.

I never bought into the "first strike" baloney.

I can't believe how many people have been suckered in by that marketing ploy.

pbfloyd · November 17, 2006 10:22AM

If you are serious about discusing coins, what are your thoughts on DMPL morgans. Do you think they are important coins as a true 1'st strike example?

RNCHSN · November 17, 2006 10:29AM

DMPL can be more about striking pressure than first strike.

A higher pressure will create more heat, causing crystalization of the surface metal which gives that frosty luster and cartwheel effect.

A lower strike pressure will create less heat and less surface crystalization, so the flat fields will show a smoother surface and be more reflective....ie....PL and DMPL fields.

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 10:30AM

RNCHSN, I read it ... amazing, I know.

Hi pbfloyd - it was just a thread I started for all to discuss coins with each other. Like I stated I collect colonials, don't know a whole lot about Morgans, never owned a DMPL or learned much about them. I think they are awesome looking coins and appreciate them from a bullion perspective too.

lsica · November 17, 2006 10:34AM

<< A lower strike pressure will create less heat and less surface crystalization, so the flat fields will show a smoother surface and be more reflective....ie....PL and DMPL fields. >>

ah.. but can it also cause the cameo effect on the devices?

Lucy's back

We missed you

Bochiman · November 17, 2006 10:36AM

<< Discuss. >>

Lame.
If you can't be specific, or even less generic, then you should go boot some people or interview them again.

Even "Modern crap vs classics" is better than just using the old OF "discuss".

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 10:42AM

Hi Bochiman! That was good, solid advice and I see your point

My feelings are crushed and I feel inferior now, but hey, no pain no gain, right?

Having a good Friday night? I have a fugio cent in front of me right now. It's circulated, like 99.9% of my collection, so I can handle it freely. Do you have any coins like that hanging around your desk as you surf?

goose3 · November 17, 2006 10:52AM

Give him a break Bochiman....

he's trying to covertly spam his forum.

That would have been more appropriate for a PM, this is not an advertising or spam board. And a thread titled "coins" with the content of "discuss" is probably more appropriate for a board with less substance (like yours) as well.

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 10:57AM

Goose darling, I believe others are obsessing and trying to talk about my site while I am trying not to. I was in the mood to be light and talk coins but it seems this forum is quite dominated by people with an entirely different emotional agenda.

Coins, goose, talk coins. What do you collect, anyways?

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 10:59AM

Why Hi Robert, sorry to see you spending your intellegence being angry and negative. Come on man, lighten up. Again, I seem to be one of the few people who want to talk about coins.

Robert - what the heck do YOU collect?

spare us the act.

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 11:05AM

I know I'm acting extra nice but to be honest, I'm very chilled out right now, super mellow. Have a glass of wine next to me .. red, yummy.

I don't know what you guys collect so I am curious actually. What do you collect?

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 11:09AM

Oh, and stop with the spamming bull, if I wanted to spam out and not get in trouble I would spend the days answering questions, posting info, discussing everything ... but instead, here I am at a relatively slow time, a Friday night, with my one damn thread a week, so shaddap. Now tell me what you collect damm it!

Coxe · November 17, 2006 11:11AM

Ah yes, COIN is an interesting word. It comes from the Latin word for wedge and refers to the process of minting (coining) a coin. It is a rare exceptional case where a noun crept into the language from a transitive verb, whereas the opposite is quite common due to popular vernacular. In the past, one would coin gold or coin silver, not mint a coin.

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 11:16AM

Coxe, that ties into the origin of "to coin a phrase." To coin something. Someone was having a tagline contest here for their business and I submitted a few entries playing off of that.

Let me know when you are talking about COINS, you Blowhard.

A thread titled "COINS"...Discuss?

Maybe it's a really just a thread for your "High Quality Kool-Ade Drinking Jonestown Nuthouse" sigline??

Coins indeed, Tonto.

FoundingFather · November 17, 2006 2:25PM

Ha ha "Saintguru," very funny. Like I'm going to believe that is you. Some junior highschool kid has obviously hacked into Saintguru's account, so if someone wants to report this it might be doing Saint a favor. Meanwhile, back to coins.

Saint, I have a question for you (the adult version when he gets his account back) since you collect gold - what do you think of the Gold Buffalo design? Pretty formidable, eh? At first I wasn't sure but now I LOVE it.
