    No numismatic topic save one bores me;

    I get remarkably tired of hearing about exceeding common coins being
    found in circulation. A cull AG 1918 penny hasn't been in circulation for
    over 90 years and doesn't have any stories to tell except that some col-
    lector got tired of holding onto it or thought someone would get a kick
    out of finding it. It isn't going to be rare anytime soon.

    An XF 1960 dime hasn't been circulating for half a century. Someone ac-
    cidenmtlyspent itor didn't think it warranted a trip to the coin shop. Some
    people just don't care that it's silver and will dump it.

    Don't get me wrong, a VF '50-D nickel or a VG '82-NMM dime are hugely
    interesting. There's so much great stuff in circulation and we rarely hear
    about it and are treated to stories about slider '57-D pennies instead.

    I don't even open up the circulation finds threads sometimes if they don't
    say what it is in the title.

    2. Portraying Longacre as a person of great privilege

    Whuuuu?!?

    3. Snowball is back, using an alias

    Actually, I appreciate an overwhelming majority of the topic threads, including some on my "bore" list. I've learned many useful things from all of you. And I miss all the Longacre threads. I assume he's the only paid writer on this board and he's holding out for a big pay increase.

    1. Where do you store your coins?
    2. Picture behind the keyboard.
    3. Where are you from?

    Should I draw a layout of my house and mark it with an X where the treasure is?

    1. Modern coin bashing--It's died down a lot since Lxxxx ended her obsessive attacks.

    2. "Eagles...widgets or coins?" Who cares, whatever floats your boat.

    3. "AT or NT?" - I couldn't care less. Are they pretty colors and nice to look at? Sure. But there are so many other things to collect, I'm never apt to be a buyer.

    HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image
