Okay fellas, believe it or not, I recently dug up an 1870 "CC" Seated Liberty Half Dollar. When i found it, i only knew it was a Seated Liberty Half as i didn't want to clean it in the field. Anyway, after doing the "happy dance" for a awhile I headed home to rinse it off and do some research. I knew the seated liberty halves could fetch a few hundred dollars in good shape, so i really was happy as a pig in poop with that. Then while doing some reading i came across the statement "of particular interest to collectors is the rare 1870 Carson City Seated Half.....". Now my hearts beating a tad faster, because after cleaning the mud off it IS an 1870...but what the hell is the Carson City mean?? So after some more googling I find that Carson City was a mint and coins minted there will have a small "CC" on the reverse. Holy !!!!...no friggin way...there it is, right under the eagle's talons..."CC". So now, with my heart really beating and a !!!! eatin' grin on my face, i'm back on Google searching for the value of this coin. OH MY GOD! Never in a million years did i think i could find a single coin worth what this one is. I mean previous to this, i was hoping to find a gold ring worth a couple hundred bucks. I know most of you are going to believe this coin is a fake, or I'm a liar..but rest assured i am not a liar and I've already had an authorized PCGS agent look at it and confirm that he thought it was genuine. Enough so that he offered me 5 grand! Besides, the coin has been sent off to Heritage Auctions so I'll have the proof and the check soon.

What does my post count have to do with anything? WOW you have 1,061 posts. I am extremely happy for you, maybe even a little jealous. I could probably have over 1,000 posts if I posted up every thread with the typical "Great find HH." Instead I just move on to the next thread. Does your post count contribute to your popularity? The ball is in your court....

Hell my post count is pretty low considering I joined in 2007. The point is did you join this fine site to knock it down. You don't have to like the rules here. There are a hundred other sites you can log onto. I am pretty sure if you asked the mods they would tell you I am border lined to get banned for a while. I don't always play nice.

No, actually I was stating a fact. I really don't care if I get banned and I don't care how you play. Congrats you are at 1,066. We are all so proud of you!

Ticm is right, this thread has been here a while and you jump the gun at the end when all rules have been established. Are you wishing to make a name for yourself? Is so, you failed a it. Rules are rules and if they weren't there then there's no sense in having the banner. Do us a favor and let your steam off somewhere else, it's not that big a deal!
Also remember, there's another authority that say's " a soft answer turneth away wrath"

I'm with ticm, it's nothing to do with post count but what you have to say or post & you are not making ANY friends.!"

If you can give me any good reason why the poster does not want to answer on here but only by Pm, then explain away?

I have my answers from the poster (via PM, interestingly not on the www. & I never break confidence) & although the MODs make a valid statement about US Law, they seem to ignore it when I point it out from a European angle that some on here have clearly broken, with proof, it's time for our first Euro MOD, email if you agree?
I was told by the MODs that legal matters are not important on posts, specially after my question on a French post, so why do they matter on the US post, & why do my questions bother anyone? (My last post was to a replier, & not the poster) So 1 rule for 1 & another for others. However, I understand you are US sponsored, so stick to your rules & free speech & ban me if you wish. But if you think I'm not going to ask the obivious moral questions than think again & I will post elsewhere, where morals matters & LEGAL moderation is taken seriously.
Clearly I speak BS.

STATED WITH RESPECT.

@Crusader: Enough already man! It is none of your business what anyone on here does with their finds. I sent you a PM (that stands for PRIVATE MESSAGE) and answered your questions. Why do you have to come on here and divulge that fact. Just let it go, you've done nothing but clog this thread up with your own personal peeves. How many times do you have to be told that here in America we are not subject to the same rules and regulations as you. You have basically been on here ranting away calling Americans greedy, and that we'll have to answer to GOD himself for it. What's next? Am i going to burn in hell? I'm an atheist, and i sleep just fine at night. Your posts on this thread have left me feeling badgered and harrassed.

:laughing9: Would you prefer me to say 'good find'?
If you post on the WWW. expect questions, if you can't answer them, then?
I answer all,,,,but maybe I'm the freak, so be it,,,,,,,,,,,,

If you think this is dogging, then report it, I think it's a fair question which you fail to answer. WHY?
