Why are people giving Russ a hard time?

tombr · February 21, 2008 11:49AM

I've found him to be friendly and knowledgable. He takes time to answer questions, truthful and to the point. A good board member IMHO.

commoncents05 · February 21, 2008 11:50AM

He calls it like he sees it. Some people don't like the sometimes harsh truth.

He's usually right though.

TwoSides2aCoin · February 21, 2008 12:03PM

Russ is one of them guys you like to punch in the nose after he gives you a black eye and then go laugh and have a drink with. Pretty simple fellow in my view.

Dawg144 · February 21, 2008 12:06PM

I like people who aren't afraid to call people dumba*ses.

ozzyfan269 · February 21, 2008 12:06PM

Maybe because Griv is not here?

zeus135 · February 21, 2008 12:08PM

No one's giving Russ a hard time. He just doesn't stand for people's BS. Kinda like someone had earlier today.

Exactly. Except he has some manners to go along with it. Our favorite target who told it exactly like she saw it is no longer with us for people to pick on. Will Russ be the next name to garauntee 100+ posts?

fastrudy · February 21, 2008 12:09PM

Where is Griv?
Where is Coinboy?

Where is the salt?

tombr · February 21, 2008 12:09PM

Okay---seems like so far, we all like Russ. I thought this might be the case.

Not a chance speety... Not if it's about AH Kennedy Halves. How do you get controversial with them ?

YaHa · February 21, 2008 1:05PM

I don't quite like anyone that has his glass half full or half empty.

Russ seems like he is a person that sits in a crowd and soaks up the little things people don't quite know.

I think if he fills his glass at least 3/4's full he might become President some day, see that is what George W, has done and it's worked well for him.

Now this is just "MY" opinion so take what you want from a person that collects Worms at 2am in the morning, instead of buying them at the tackle shop before he goes fishing.

RYK · February 21, 2008 1:10PM

Why are people giving Russ a hard time?

Because we are disciples of BiddlesBank.

Russ sits in a crowd, sees rigtht thru the BS and sums it up in one sentence. --Jerry

turtlesvdb · February 21, 2008 1:20PM

Becasue he has nothing better to do.

derryb · February 21, 2008 1:20PM

Russ is tough, besides I think he really likes the attention.

Hey, Russ - thank you for your coin insight and wisdom.

MarkJude · February 21, 2008 1:21PM

I have had a number of dealings with Russ over the years and I found him to be one of the best -

I look to him anytime I have a question regarding my SMS set and he has always been honest and forthright; exactly what I was looking for.

I would have made a bunch of mistakes if it wasn't for Russ and his helpfulness -

Two big thumbs up from me -

Mark

Julio · February 21, 2008 1:32PM

I sure don't think Russ needs me to defend him or his actions. I have done business with him and found him to be extremely helpful. Like others have said he calls them like he sees em; nothing wrong with that, and thats my story and I'm sticking to it. jws

stman · February 21, 2008 1:38PM

Russ is my hero!! EOM

BigE · February 21, 2008 1:38PM

Modern collector Kennedy heads get bashed all the time, what are you guys worried about?-------------------------BigE

garsmith · February 21, 2008 1:42PM

Why ask why?

a039 · February 21, 2008 1:51PM

The Russ I know avoids sitting in crowds.

13PacesEast · February 21, 2008 1:52PM

100!

i'm going to bed so i figgered this is my only shot.

Garneteye · February 21, 2008 1:59PM

<< I don't quite like anyone that has his glass half full or half empty >>

Hey!! I resemble that remark

Regarding Russ, you may not like what he says, but there is no question where he stands. I like that.

Deadhorse · February 21, 2008 2:26PM

Russ is one of the good guys. He just doesn't suffer fools well.

He's not alone in that department.

As far as his glass......... well, from an engineering standpoint, the glass was poorly designed for the intended contents.

Simple as that.

*Edit: I use his famous Flea Market Morgan as my avatar, and with his permission, I might add.

The story of that predates many posters around here today.

Gemini · February 21, 2008 2:35PM

Why are people giving Russ a hard time?...because he'll be a Jet to his last dying day?...oh wait a minute ...I think I have him confused with Russ Tamblyn.

renman95 · February 21, 2008 2:36PM

We have gone from posting "precious and not so precious metal" threads to "Russ" threads today.

The former, information is easily obtained.

The later, information is an ice pick to the forehead...and some deserve it.

CarlWohlforth · February 21, 2008 2:44PM

If you give anybody a hard time give it to someone who can take it - someone like Russ. I like him and trust him absolutely when doing a coin deal. However if I were president I would not nominate him to be a US diplomat.

Who is Russ?

Griv · February 21, 2008 3:24PM

Absolutely why??? WHY, WHY, WHY??? Russ is a stalwart of this forum and while his posts indicate that he doesn’t want me dead like several other member here were quick to support, he is one of the most logical and practical members here.

While we are sometimes at odds, this would make sense as I am a bullion bull and Russ is a legend in the Classics and beyond. I would say that I would like to see this whole attack on Russ go away as I think this is almost as bad as the NY Times lying BullCrap about McCain. Geez, do you think a lobbyist that cute could escape a 14 year relationship without pictures. (pm if you have any

)

I wouldn’t think about voting for McCain until I heard about this story. Geez! Anyone else would have had an affair so the fact that he didn’t is a tribute to his honor which I think is certainly redundant in his case, but a question to the average man which says? She’s &%^$(*& hot John! What’s your problem? Dang! Why can't I be you? At least for one night?

BECOKA · February 21, 2008 3:27PM

Why are people giving Russ a hard time?

I don't think he has a hard time with anyone. He handles them pretty well.

Just by putting his name in the title this thread will reach a minimum of 100.

You are calling Kennedy's a classic?

Griv · February 21, 2008 4:06PM

Why? Because I pay them to do it. Sometimes as much as $20 a day. We are not looking for the brightest of society nor the absolute scrape the barrel individual either. Unless they don't mind of coures.

blueifalcon · February 21, 2008 9:29PM

He**, what a love fest! Why don't you just put his mug on a piece of silver? At least that way we would be talking coins again.

That kid that won 4 cars on Vegas Vacation. You remember that cute little boy with Freckles. Thats Russ.

(How did you win all of these cars RUSS? Well dad I put in a Kennedy dollar and won a car, I put in a kennedy dollar and won a car, ok I get it Russ.

You are comparing Russ on these boards to McCain and the NY Times incident????????????

Oh my God, I have to drink more.

Hey Russ.... You know that I love you man, but even you have to be amazed at some of this stuff.

I hope somebody puts this stuff in a book but remembers to call it a work of fiction because NOBODY would believe some of this cr@p.

I have to print this post to show some of my co-workers....it is not fair to enjoy all this humor by myself.

ahooka454 · February 22, 2008 12:29AM

Id give my thoughts, but I may be self righteous in my statement. Not that I have anything of substance to some.

dimples · February 22, 2008 1:04AM

RUSS is the new "FRESH MEAT"

SeaEagleCoins · February 22, 2008 1:07AM

Once upon a time...

On a planet in a far distant galaxy...

There was a great head with accented hair...

It was surrounded by the glowing reflection of 1000 mirrors...

And it stood out in full cameo relief...the greatest head in all the universe...

Then one day it came to earth and found a way to reproduce...

It created the U.S. Mint and the Mint made many more of these magnificent heads...

And then it created the TPG's and they put these heads into protective cases with lofty numbers on the labels...

And Russ looked upon all this and said "it is good"...

fivecents · February 22, 2008 1:10AM

Russ tells it like it is.....no sugar coating.

Why are people giving Russ a hard time?
