The rattling/bickering/arguing/flamewars are a constant in any usenet

trick is to learn to skip the threads that don't interest you and pick
out the useful stuff. Eventually you'll learn what posters and/or what
subjects are most likely to precipitate an "extended discourse" and
avoid wasting your reading time. All in all, I've found this group to be
=A0=A0=A0=A0an invaluable tool. A lot of experienced and knowledgeable
people post here,so I suggest you stick with it. It will be worth your
time, and a little info gleaned from this group can save you a bundle
down the road.
HTH,

Mark is right. This is an amazing group for info. There are "high
end" buyers and sellers and there are "low end" collectors.
i am a low end, circulation
IMHO when you see a statement and a bunch of contradictory responses,
look more carefully at the original. One persons opinion may not be the
facts but just an opinion.
If you have questions about a possible purchase, a link with a pic is
great with this group. Altho, they will tell you grading a coin from a
pic is not always accurate, it doesn't hurt to get a few grades from
these folks. not me They also have fantastic websites that you can
learn from.
Welcome, figure this to be a family. No family agrees ALL the time.

Hi Bruce,

For myself, I like half cents, Early proofs and liberty 5c patterns. What
do you collect?

Well, I collected a hodgepodge of things back in the 70's. And, for whatever
reason, I then did very little collecting for about 25 years. Just recently,
something has stirred up an avid interest within me again, and I've just
finished gathering a fairly good set of circulated Barber quarters. (All
except for the three most expensive in that series.)


Bet that was a challenge. Finding circ Barber's for some dates is tougher than
finding uncs.

More recently, something has flung a craving on me to collect some Morgan
dollars. I've just this week finished gathering all of the 26 New Orleans
minted Morgans, mostly in AU-BU, except for 3 in XF. This has turned out to
be a really nice set, and one that I enjoy looking at. I don't have anything
definite in mind to collect, though I may try to put together a nice type
set of some kind.

An interesting set is a complete set of new orleans coinage. Except for the
1838-O half, all are available and most are underpriced for their rarity. TRY to
find a 1906-O $10. That's a rare coin, but it'll only cost you maybe $10 more
than a 1906 in a similar grade.

Try an early proof type set. I'm working on one now, it's a challenge and an
enjoyable one. I'd never have learned about matte proofs if not for trying to
put together that set. Or satin finish proofs. Or roman finish proofs. Or
"specimen" proofs. Or the difference between a proof and a first strike.

Hi Bruce,

An interesting set is a complete set of new orleans coinage.

A very good thought, indeed! I just may embark on such a quest! Thank you!

Oh, so true! I've *already* learned some of what you mention here.

You can always take a look he

For some straight-shooting opinions of the dark side here. You've no doubt
already "met" a couple of the Real Winners here. But as long as you're
"looking to understand", you might as well get a balanced picture.

Oops. Didn't realize Maja changed email addresses, which didn't show up on
the original deja search,. There was also a post by MAJA about a year ago.
That one was a major MAJA as opposed to a mynah Maja. :^)

I agree with you, Ran. There is no controversy in the ng about ACG.

Sure there is, incompetent vs fraudulent, or some of both.

Really? You think so? I thought the incompetence defense was thoroughly
discredited. I know I've rejected it.

Well, there might be somebody still. Me, I'm in the bunch of
fraud and a good measure of incompetence camp.
