Bochiman · November 28, 2009 12:02PM

Can folks name the people and the series they were associated with?
Also, have folks noticed a drop in those series if the associated poster is no longer posting (banned/deceased/bored/changed directions?)

So, I will start:
FC57COINS and LUCYBOP - Franklins (well, Franklins are consistently being mentioned as coins that are in the doghouse when it comes to the market)

I have some others in mind, but will leave them to see if other folks have the same folks/series in mind.

When was the last time you saw a Kennedy half post? Probably the last time Russ posted.

Bochiman · November 28, 2009 4:25PM

Interesting...I don't consider "type" a series though.
There are always posters who are more focused on an area than others....I was thinking more about the folks who post and become really known for the series they collect/sell/promote/talk about.

Rick Snow = IHCs
Charmy and her Lincolns (and IHCs)
Russ and his dot-heads and AHs

When Russ stopped being as vocal on the boards, the chat around dot-heads and AHs dropped to about nil.

That type of thing.

Those are "Kennedy" threads, to be sure (well, the 1st one is borderline

), but not like the threads being referenced....
Ken (Ksteelheader), Russ, and Marty were the ones who did a lot of the Kennedy threads with what they scored/found/cherrypicked from sets and auctions.

Marty and Russ used to have a little love-fest going with each other and their Kennedys. Epic times for that series. nothing current even compares, imho.

Same for Franklins. Lucy and Frank used to show/tell/teach a lot. Pawpaul and Bushmaster show some nice ones, and sometimes teach, but the threads are nothing, imho, like what Lucy and Frank used to do here.

Agree...and, when he was posting, I think GSA Morgans got a bump up in the spotlight and prices. I even remember his article in the Greysheet on them (I may still have it)....he knew his stuff (still does most likely)

Mr. Halfdime - everything H10c related

Several others on here have done a nice job with half dimes, but those guys are two standouts for consistent contributions to this board.

I feel compelled to comment here.

Threads get a lot more response when the subject is mentioned in the title.

...Well, at least from me they do. I just don't open threads with vague subjects.

Morgans, Peace and Walkers....and anything that catches my eye!

Elcontador · November 30, 2009 5:11PM

I am listing the people who collect coin series which interest me or I find attractive:

Shylock - He had the nicest IHC images I've ever seen. He was very helpful pointing out the differences between naturally and artificially toned PF IHCs

Caitlin - Consistent top drawer Buffs - almost made me want to collect them

Broadstruck - Always finds excellent for the grade SLQs - no "just made it" FH coins for him

MFH - Nice for the grade SLQs and Barber coinage (depending on what series he is working on at the moment)

Tahoe Dale, Sunnywood, and TDN - Gorgeous, top drawer registry set material I can only drool about and will never be able to find or afford

Rays - Attractive, high end early copper

In reading over these responses, one very obvious omission of a member associated with a specific series would be IGWT for Shield Nickels. He has consistently submitted some of the most insightful and learned posts on his series, accompanied by some incredible photography.

Over the years, certain coins and certain series were associated with certain PCGS members
