About This Forum And My Many Silver Dollar Submissions, Please Chime In

I think hfjacinto expressed my opinion perfectly.
If you spent 4 years acquiring them, you don't need them all graded this month. One a day will still get it done and allow for more in depth responses.

John1 ..... No, I don't plan on shooting the messenger, and I'm still keeping score. I said I would go with the consensus and that needs another day at least to run.

So Bobby no Gerbil coins?

Haha I really don't like them either. I mean I like gerbils just not coins with Gerbils :)

I've viewed a number of the OP's dollars and have posted on several. I don't have any objection to those threads but I do get less interested with repetition. I'm hoping that the OP became a more discriminating buyer over time; if so the quality of the posted coins should improve. Keep 'em coming and we will see!

I doubt newer collectors ever look at past grading examples. They don't look at every other road rashed coin post, it's all "look at my mint damaged penny that I found in a parking lot, that I drove over and a few other cars drove over and a dog did something on, yep this is mint damage, how much is it worth?" Shows picture of "penny" , 2nd post "oh by the way I cleaned my hands after touching the "penny"" shows another blurry "penny" picture.

The many posts about the coins to me have become like that. Without the dirty penny :)

Look I'm all for newbys getting grading advice but there has to be a reason for it, for example a higher grade is worth more money or is rarer. But when the coins are worth melt until high MS grades I don't see the value. Again -> Me, you could see value. Just my 2 cents.

Im all for learning, I figured after 20, if you didn't learn, then there isn't much I can teach.




If it's a spender then it should be stated as such. Yes one should be told straight up it has no extra value. I have a few coins that have no extra value but I know they are spenders.

If the coin is green, one should be careful as it can spread to other coins, so they shouldn't keep it or keep it with other coins.

Look I'm in the minority here, like I prefaced before I'm ignoring the posts about grading the silver dollars and I bypass the main page as pages of grade my silver dollar are uninteresting but the OP asked for an opinion and I'm gladly giving it. If you don't agree that's totally fine, I'll call a spender a spender.

Every coin is different. How many marks, what kind of marks, luster, toning, strike, many things to consider. If it was easy to learn how to grade after looking at 20 coins of the same type, we'd all be experts. All I'm saying is, the more you look at and try to grade, the more it helps.

Ill chime in on this one, as I host MANY websites.

If the folks have no problem with the Hawaii guy posting multiple MANY and frequent posts, then its just a numbers game.

It is true the further down a post gets, the less likely a reply.

I had one that got buried, and I gave it a bump by replying to my own post, and bang, I got replies.

Just work within they system that is provided.

Apparently the guy broke no rules, so use what is available to you to make your post rise to the top again, (I suggest prime viewing time)

Don't take it personal, like I'm going away, just use the system and don't break the owner's rules.

Operate within the system, it's not personal.

I sure would hate to see a member go away for taking the system personally.

A LOT of things don't go our way in life, you just don't go, I'm taking my marbles and going home.

Give your post a bump, problem solved.

Just my 2 cents, :)
