Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Modern commems.
Bullion products.
Most variety collecting. I know, coming from a large cent guy this borders on the heretical, but what can I say.
Moderns. To much on how to make money off them, and not enough about collecting them.

Questions about what bores me
Wait a minute…none of my answers have absolutely nothing to do with Numismatics!

Bullion
Moderns. To much on how to make money off them, and not enough about collecting them. Amen!
MPL Lincolns, although during the well-managed promotion a year or two ago, the appearance of the threads were interesting I think you just paid me a compliment if your talking about the weekly list of MPL for sale - Thank you.

Die-varieties, errors, AT vs. NT.
Biggest turn off is whiner threads, especially the one-sided stories that present an extremely skewed view of a transaction or interaction.

1. Modern coins/ bullion/ commemorative issue threads.
2. "The sky is falling!/ Put on your tin foil hats!/ Elvis is alive!/ The government's coming after us so let's all hoard gold and sleep in underground bunkers" and similar conspiracy themed topics.
3. Obscure die varieties the vast majority of collectors don't care about.
Those "damn PCGS because they screwed me on my grades and their graders can't grade and now I'm mad as hell and so I'll complain here" threads get honorable mention.

Any purely numismatic topic on this forum interests me. This is how we broaden our knowledge. The only things that are posted here that bore me are topics that stray far off the path....though on occasion I myself will make such posts.
Humor, sarcastic wit, a bit of OT here and there.....adds some interest and spice to what COULD be a very boring forum.
What I DONT like are long soap boxy threads that are political in nature. Especially when they involve off the wall theories or insults to our government or politicians. Such thread have no place on this forum, and Don Willis has set down some very good guidelines which though at times are stretched...the intent is pure.
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
2. Tokens
3. Modern clad coins

complaining about D.Carr

Topics created solely in an attempt to elicit sympathy.
Topics which serve no real purpose..
Hey... wait a minute...
Threads that don't care what it is, only caring about what it's so-called "worth", or "grade"
Toning
Not in any particular order.
Microscopic varieties
Moderns

Guess the grade. (employed mainly to get help instead of learning grading parameters)
Tarnish. (environmental damage depicted as beauty)

2. Newcomb large cent varieties. (Sorry large cent collectors, but I tend to agree with Dr. Sheldon who once called large cents minted after 1814 "machine made tokens.")
3. The new presidential dollar series despite the fact that I have studied the men who held the office most of my life. The coins are often ugly, and they serve no purpose in commerce because they do not circulate. I now understand that we are wasting tax dollars are storing millions of these useless modern dollar coins in treasury vaults.
