This is a plea to everyone out there who feels the need to mark their searched coins. STOP!! There is nothing more annoying than finding a coin that you could really use for a folder only to find some j@ck@$$ has put a gigantic sharpie mark on it. To whomever ruined a perfectly good 1987-P Half Dollar that I needed to complete my folder, You Suck!! Seriously people, there is no reason to mark the coins you search. Let's finally put an end to this.

I'm not raging at all, and I'm not in this just to find silver (which I've found a good amount of lately). I enjoy the silver, but I also enjoy collecting and putting together sets. I just get annoyed with donkeys like you who literally try to do nothing but ruin this hobby for other people. I've met a lot of rational, nice people through this site who have been very helpful and love to share their knowledge. Then there are the d!cks like you who literally go out of there way to try to push people out of the hobby for your own childish and selfish reasons. I hope for your sake that you grow up at some point.

I see TONS of marked coins in all of my boxes. I don't really care about marking them with one exception. The idiots that like to color the edges silver, I must have gotten 50+ in one of my boxes last week.

Haha K, whatever helps you sleep at night! :hello2: :laughing7:
 
Okay, so let's get this straight. I guarantee 95%+ of your box of halves(except for CardsNCoins- his boxes are about 20% silver :tongue3: ) has gone through MANY hands of CRH'ers over the coin's existance.

What is the big deal about marked coins? There is no difference between some 1990 half dollar that had been marked and a 1990 half dollar that hadn't been marked. both have been searched over, almost 99.999999% guaranteed, unless it came from a mint bag of half dollars untouched forever.

I do not get many marked coins in my area, but I do hate them. But think of it this way, if that same exact person did not mark a single coin, you're still getting their dumps.

**I do not mark any of my coins at all, first off, it is just not my nature to destroy coins, and second, it takes up extra time.**

HH!

Don't mark coins.


All members are equal, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, education, or experience. Never take a superior tone with, or "talk down" to, anyone.

Doesn't matter how long someone has or has not been here friend... No matter how you think on this subject they have the right to say what they want... :icon_thumright:
 
Exactly Buffalo. All I was saying is to have some courtesy when searching. Just because I have no use for a particular coin doesn't mean that I mark it up. Someone else might be able to use it for something, and I'm certainly not going to mark coins up to try to get rid of others who share the hobby. Courtesy, that's all I'm saying. Unfortunately that is obviously too much to ask from some here.
 
Yes marked coins are annoying; at least 50% of all the coins I see are marked up. A little acetone will remove all the marker on any coin you need for a collection...

That box came from a bank in NJ.

You missed my point. I wasn't taking a superior attitude. The point was a newbie was scolding another newbie about trying to keep away other newbies. Folks have been marking coin for years! This didn't just start with a few new people. I'm surprised all coins aren't marked. As I've said before, you only see what you mark that comes back, not the new coins mixed in.
As for the poster that said if you buy them they are yours to do with as you see fit, that is incorrect. You aren't buying them, you're just exchanging currency. you buy nothing. I'm just saying.

All I'm saying is that marking coins is a d!ck move. Especially if the only "reason" you do it is to try to get rid of other people. Obviously some of us are just going to have to agree to disagree over it, and I'm not gonna argue it anymore.

Dude, don't mark anything. All it does is mess up a coin for someone else. If you have no use for it, dump it back into the wild and be done with it. Just cause you find a coin to be "worthless" doesn't mean someone else might not have a use for it.

Don't kid yourself, there are "waves" of people already hunting for silver and there are pages and pages of videos on youtube showing people step by step how to coin roll hunt. If someone else wants to give it a try why must some people feel the need to try to get rid of them or call them "competition?" Why can't this be a fun hobby for everyone?

I will answer that last question.... "why cant this be a fun hobby for everyone"?

Because If "everyone" were doing it, it wouldnt be worth doing for very much longer. You can say whatever you want, but the more people who do this, the less silver you will find. (seems obvious). It will get to a point, that the amount of new people doing this, will no longer be outweighed by the amount of silver making its way back into the wild.

As far as the marking coins dilemma... who gives a sh*t. Everyone should quit crying about what others are doing, so you found a marked keeper, and you didnt want it. Wow, keep CRH'ing, and find another one-that isnt marked. ;)

And while I'm at it.... I cant say there are very many things about what other people do that really get me... CRH'ing videos on youtube make me want to water-board the retards who put them there-until they drown. My god, is there anything that makes less sense than telling the world about one of the very few "lucrative" hobbies out there? I cant think of anything that could possibly ruin this hobby for everyone faster than posting videos on youtube, and other places online where hundreds or thousands of people every day can unkwnowingly "stumble" onto their new favorite hobby, just because some saint feels like sharing the best hobby ever with all the sheep. I'm glad it makes them feel better, like they are doing the world a favor or something..... F'ing Idiots. Quit posting CRH'ing videos online.

It's the greedy, selfish, arrogant attitudes like this that really make me sick. I'd hope the majority of people who coin roll hunt are not like this, but I'm beginning to wonder. TheRockDoc and GimmeSomeSilver you both were "new" to this at one point. You didn't invent this hobby. You weren't the first ones to the party. But yet now that you are involved in it, somehow you both have the attitude that you should be the only ones doing it. For some selfish reason you both are the only ones who can enjoy it. The rest of us are just taking all your silver away. You both don't make the hobby any more fun, because for people like you both, it isn't a hobby. It's a selfish, self-centered compulsion.

I look at some of the big finds that people post on here, and it makes we want to search more. I watch some of the videos on youtube and it makes me want to search more. Then I look at how people like you two act, and it is just repulsive to me. Honestly, it make me hope that you get flooded in your area with more and more coin roll hunters. We all were "new" to this at one point, and I'm sure there were others that wanted us out out the way so they could be greedy and selfish. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, does that make it OK for you both to continue the same behavior? You're not the only ones out there, and you never will be. Respect and Courtesy shouldn't be forgotten.

Hey Farchy. I appreciate your intense passion for reaching out, respecting, loving, and coddling the newbies... Let me clarify. I have no problems with information out there for a newbie to find. I will be the first to say that Tnet helped me, inspired me, and helped me jump light years ahead as far as the tiny "learning curve" that CRH has... Obviously all that "help" was there for me, and I do not think for one second that It shouldnt be there for the next guy. We are talking about two different things, you are talking about how nice those resources are for someone who CRH's to be able to enjoy, learn from and be inspired by... I am talking about advertising it to the masses hoping somebody will think you are cool for getting them started.. People who have never thought about CRH'ing, but one day, just stumbled completely by accident onto a video posted by some retard who doesnt understand how detremental advertising of this hobby is to this hobby. Dont flatter yourself by calling me and others "greedy"-THIS IS AMERICA, A FREE MARKET SOCIETY, WHERE CAPITALISM IS #1... I am an oppurtunist, simply enjoying this great hobby because of someone elses ignorance. This is a hobby that is unlike any other hobby. We arent fishing, sowing, or collecting worthless trinkets and things. We arent playing bingo, musical instruments or collecting rocks. We are pulling silver out of circulation for its "f.v." and we are doing it as fast as possible, because we know if we dont, somebody else will. It is the only profitable hobby I know of. (please help me if there is even one other "hobby" that is a fraction as lucrative as CRH'ing).

We live in a very competitive world, where winning is no longer a matter of status and/or achievement, it is a becomming a matter of survival in case you havent noticed. You can call it greed, I will call it, using what I have been given to get as far as I can go. Hell yeah I want to get further than my competition...
 
Further more, and I'm not saying everyone should go out and "mark" coins.. For those of you who think for even one second that a mid-high volume CRH'er cannot bennefit by the knowledge, and insight that can be gained by "marking" coins- wake up..... It is time for you to expand your mind. Get out of the box you limit yourself by thinking in....

I am in utah. I have always gotten one or two here and there, but I too, saw more of these in the past 2 weeks than I ever have. 95% of the time, it looks terrible by the time they get to me, but there is that 5% of the time where it does get you for a second. I will say this though, saturday, I was going through a box, and I opened up a roll, right away, I got that warm and fuzzy feeling due to seeing the "edge" but then I thought, No, wait a minute.... Wow, that is a really good paint job... bast*rds! But then I pulled it out to find that it was a 2003-S Silver half. Only my 2nd ever 90% silver proof, So it was excitement, let down, excitement... Kind of fun.

Side note, I really wish people would never ever paint the edges silver, or white, or whatever they do. I cant seem to think about any purpose this would serve other than getting peoples hopes up and then pissing them off, childish really.

Happy hunting everyone.
 
Believe it or not Enamel, I have been here longer than 6 months. Doesn't seem like it either...
 
Whiners, KILL 'EM ALL!. You really think coming on here and bitchin about people marking coins is gonna do any good? If so, you got more problems than you know of. Get over yourselves... I have. ::) ::) ::)

How about fur trapping?

I do not know much about fur trapping, other than the fact that is a profitable hobby... At least it used to be back in the day, I only say this because the two fur trappers i have had the oppurtunity to speak with have untold stories for days about what it was like in the "good old days". Seems to me that they both strongly believed that the "good old days were long over by now." They are both like 80 yrs old or older, and both of them gave up on the hobby they loved decades ago.

Do you fur trap fistfulladirt? If so, I would love some insight on your thoughts?

I also have been thinking about profitable hobbies since making that comment in an above post. I really cannot think of a hobby were you can literally make money. Let alone make decent money. Please help me out if anyone can think of a profitable hobby......
