WHY IS IT?....List for coin collectors

BearBear Posts: 18,953 ✭✭✭
1. Why is it always ,the very coin you have sought for years,

shows up for sale at the very moment that you are financially

strapped and out of cash?


2. Why is it always the day of the big coin show, when you are

suddenly told that you must work that day?


3.Why is it, that the market seem to slow down or drop on the very

day you decide to sell a big portion of your collection?


4. Why is it, that the price for gold and silver drops precipitously the day

after you have made a rather large purchase of same?


5. Why is it, that the coins you bought as beautiful gems, always look like

crappola, when you look at them a few years later?


6. Why is it, that it is always the other guy that sell the exact same coin and condition

for way more money that you received for your coin?



7.Why is it, when you try to make a simple polite statement on the Forum, people get all

excited and want to jump all over your a$$?


8. Why is it always you, that seems to collect a coin series that decides to go dormant for

at least 10 - 20 years after you start collecting it?


9.Why is it always difficult to come up with a smart retort, when someone gives you a verbal jab?

10. Why is it that I spend my time typing this, when I could be sitting in the sun relaxing?


11. Why is it, that the other collectors get the PCGS plus ,the CAC Gold and the NGC star but all

my coins get is genuine coin status?

12. Why is it , that I get heartburn, after eating the hot dogs at the L.B. Show?

13. Why is it , that the other collectors seem to be making money, when I am lucky to break even?

    "9.Why is it always difficult to come up with a smart retort, when someone gives you a verbal jab?"

    Just as an informative note.... What you say in response to a jab is called 'repartee'..
    What you think you should have said - usually a half hour later - is called 'departee'...
