Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 12/08/2011 7:54 pm You should've said, "Yeah, and they're ONLY silver now. That's like having a really beat up Mercedes and being proud of it just because it says Mercedes Benz on it." He'll take the news better if it comes from a trusted source like you. Wouldn't it just suck if he came to the day he needed to sell it for hundreds only to find out it's worth $25-35? He needs to hear it. Report this Post to the Staff

Secret Argent Man Valued Member United States 320 Posts	Posted 12/08/2011 10:33 pm I was just really bummed because I was looking forwad to having someone to talk to at this party every year. Don't get me wrong the party is awesome, but sometimes conversation leaves a little to be desired, when I know essentially nothing and no-one. And talking about coins is always cool too, regardless Report this Post to the Staff
stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 12/09/2011 4:35 pm Well Secret Argent Man, on the bright-side => I'm sure that if he collects coins, he's still gonna want to talk about coins ... but while you're talking about coins next Christmas, merely mention/gently-warn-him that you've heard that cleaning coins "may" reduce the coins value, and then leave it at that ... you can still talk about coins (just don't let that mutha get hold of your coins!) ... yes, talking about coins is always cool ..

stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 12/09/2011 9:19 pm yes, I totally agree ... you definitely have to know who your audience is ... => as long as we don't sound too obsessed and geeky, right? Edited by stevex6 12/10/2011 08:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
