Broadstruck and Broadstruck coins

erickso1 · April 23, 2011 1:07AM

One was bammed slightly off center at the mint.

The other was bammed.....? Not sure how/why that happened.

At least prior I could talk to and learn from the latter. Now all I can do is talk to the former, but he is just a coin.

llafoe · April 23, 2011 1:15AM

Mary Todd put him in his place!

mrearlygold · April 23, 2011 1:15AM

Broadstruck was bammed?

Really?

ctf_error_coins · April 23, 2011 1:16AM

Say it ain't so

questor54 · April 23, 2011 1:18AM

He was always polite to me - more than I deserved at times. Actually, I was a real jerk to him.

llafoe · April 23, 2011 1:18AM

<< Broadstruck was bammed?

This is how rumors are started...

savoyspecial · April 23, 2011 1:23AM

i hope Broadstruck is still on the forums......one of my favorite personalities here

he still has items on BST...... for what that is worth

llafoe · April 23, 2011 1:27AM

I looked it up... statuture... it's not a real word!

I suspect he didn't get the boot; he just needs to reboot!

ctf_error_coins · April 23, 2011 1:31AM

Hope not, he knows more about some of my coins (pricing history) than I do.

Plus his funny photo archive is ginormous.

CommemDude · April 23, 2011 1:34AM

Please do not PM Broadstruck as he cannot access his PMs, enough said.

MFH · April 23, 2011 1:47AM

I heard from him by email a while ago - he was Banned.

He's a great guy and has been a good friend. We've shared
over 1,700 PM's - and just as many emails and phone calls.

I'll miss him here - and - I hope he's brought back asap.

cmerlo1 · April 23, 2011 1:50AM

What happened?

mrearlygold · April 23, 2011 1:54AM

He's a very valuable contributor here. This is a shock

The second knowledable member to leave in the last six weeks or so. I will miss him, perhaps we should think of a new name for the "Copper for the Weekend" thread.

seanq · April 23, 2011 2:06AM

There were some OT threads last night about the appropriateness of certain adjectives when describing coins, and it looks like Broadstruck wasn't the only casualty, the OP in the main thread got the boot too.

If so, he has gotten the boot here more times than Billy Martin did managing the Yankees!

Type2 · April 23, 2011 3:48AM

No way, hope it's not true I was just telling my kid's last night how nice his collaction is if so.

I cannot say I feel sorry for the OP if the OP truly got the boot. Broadstruck, on the other hand, was a good guy and I will miss his posts here.

mrearlygold · April 23, 2011 4:48AM

Who was the OP ? ( I think I missed the thread )

etexmike · April 23, 2011 4:58AM

I also got a regular email from Broadstruck. He got banned.

Who was the OP in that thread?

RYK · April 23, 2011 4:59AM

I refuse to believe it until I get an email.

MsMorrisine · April 23, 2011 5:05AM

I think it was the "I hate the term sexy" thread.

I missed the fun, too.

I hope broadstruck is given only a temporary bamming.

As for who I think the OP was, well... it appears the clip Type2 posted would probably apply there.

mrearlygold · April 23, 2011 5:14AM

Didn't Anaconda start a thread with that title?

MsMorrisine · April 23, 2011 5:19AM

I was paraphrasing

the title was:

"I really dislike it when someone calls a coin "sexy"... shows stupidity in my opinion....."

which may or may not have been found offensive to the modulators(just an opinion to me similar to overusing PQ, but the stupidity could have been left off), but I hear much worse talk went on in the thread.

The thread is now poofed.

CoinJunkie · April 23, 2011 5:23AM

<< Didn't Anaconda start a thread with that title? >>

Yes, it was Anaconda.

jhdfla · April 23, 2011 6:53AM

I hope it's temporary.

I was on at that hour. Saw the thread.. I think the OP had crossed the line many times (in other threads), but I don't believe in bamming wholesome contributors like Broadstruck. Heck, I wouldn't have even banned the snake in the interest of lively discussion, but hey, what do I know.

Is Sainty gone too?

Edited to add, "(in other threads)".

illini420 · April 23, 2011 6:54AM

bummer!!!!!

ambro51 · April 23, 2011 6:56AM

ah thats just dumb overreaction to harmless chatter among friends.

friends who collect US coins. of course, to keep post on topic (hopefully)

Type2 · April 23, 2011 8:39AM

I did see him on last night but what we all said was not that big of a deal like said above. We all where just funing like the norm.

llafoe · April 23, 2011 8:51AM

<< ah thats just dumb overreaction to harmless chatter among friends.

There are a lot of cliques whose replies can easily be misconstrued as banter and diatribe vs. good fun. A lot of people don't see the behind-the-scenes PMs in addition to the jokes in the threads. Some people take exception and report the threads. We all know I love levity... at least while I'm in the States. If you read the few posts I post while I'm at war, you'll notice they're more direct and contain very little humor. Do we cross the line... absolutely, but if we were all alike, this would be one boring world! I probably get away with a little more than most, since most people understand, after reading a few of my threads, that I'm making comment to either solicit thought or to redirect any attack toward myself. I'm kind of like the circus clown... I draw the bull to me so the "real" experts can get out of the line of fire and live another day to post their informative threads!

tradedollarnut · April 23, 2011 8:55AM

Hopefully just a timeout. There's a big difference between getting caught up in the fun and putting a toe over the line vs consistently making a mockery of the Board.

Adrian also added a lot to the board

mrearlygold · April 23, 2011 10:27AM

While I saw the thread I didn't read thru it. However I enjoy reading Adrians threads in general and Frank is a heck of a positive contributor here. If any action really needs to be taken on these two valuable contributors, I personally hope it's just a temporary timeout for day or so as I think the forum loses something good from both these fellows.

crazyhounddog · April 23, 2011 10:27AM

Another one of the "good guys" are gone. Mark Feld and now Broadstruck. I for one am VERY sorry to hear of this. These two guys have earned not only my respect, but also my trust, and that's NOT an easy task for anyone.....Joe

coinman420 · April 23, 2011 10:32AM

i lightheartedly posted to that thread and surmised the thread would go poof but didn`t think members would be bammed. i enjoyed both members posts.

TwoSides2aCoin · April 23, 2011 10:32AM

One day about a year or so ago, my phone rang. The voice on the other end said : "You probably never expected this call. Do you know who this is ?" I was puzzled and asked him to do his best impersonation of someone I knew.

Then he started laughing and said : "it's ______ (his real name), and I just wanted to say hello".
I started

... and said "Who are you ? ", He said "Broadstruck, from the PCGS boards", and asked me not to tell his name and I said, "no problem, Broadstruck".
He had a lot of funny and informative posts here. Then again, I got along with YaHa and Biddlesbank , as well as with Feld, ksteelheader and Laura and labrams..., so I dunno what's going on around here.

We should post error coins to this thread, because I don't have any broadstruck ones.

TexasNationals · April 23, 2011 10:47AM

He'll Be Back!

llafoe · April 23, 2011 10:48AM

<< He'll Be Back! >>

Introducing our new member... Struckbroad!

ctf_error_coins · April 23, 2011 10:51AM

I learned quite a bit from him, He almost got me into HTT's

, and I hope it's just a temp ban. This forum would be a lot less without him.

Here you go buddy.....

morgansforever · April 23, 2011 10:53AM

Never had issue with BS, always friendly and helpful.
PM'd him often with questions about errors.
One of favorite pieces from BS.

pontiacinf · April 23, 2011 11:00AM

just a note:

I made a copy of the thread about wearing tin foil hats, thinking that would poof

didnt pay much attention to the other thread

TexasNationals · April 23, 2011 11:04AM

It amazes me some of these idiots, a few, that should have been banned long ago, get to stay and lose it in the process taking 5-10 good board members with them? How many times has Anaconda been banned then allowed back?
