i'll give you 300 cash for both
You are right, we were having a personal conversation about what we each saw or didn't see in the assessment of the coins. Myself and I am sure that coinguy*matthew were not being arrogant in what we each stated and I am sorry that you felt that we were being arrogant! Also, the statement "I would personally want an eye appealing AU58 over a dog MS63." was a generalization of Collectors/Dealers purchasing coins and not even remotely directed towards your' coins. Myself and from the statement, I assume that coinguy*matthew both have passed up MS-63 graded coins and purchased lesser graded coins because they actually had better eye appeal than the MS-63's.
Also, you are right, we did not take into consideration that the rub might be on the plastic holder or due to play of light. However, asking folks to assess coins based on pics alone and them not having the coins in hand for evaluation, will usually end up with a flawed assessment.
Personally, I think that everyone would be better served if I no longer give assessments of coins and their values, so that there will be no hurt feelings or mis-read of what was written and I would imagine that coinguy*matthew feels the same way!

Since it is sooo funny, I will give $302 and you can keep the holders!
Thanks Ed, I like those old gold coins, I think I might post some more of them.Nice coins I been amassing some gold myself ...there is just that look to them I like gold coins better than platinum myself... thanks for sharing your pics ,Ed
$500 ( what do those two coins weigh?)
Oh, okay, I guess that explains it, they must be big because they are hybrids. I couldn't understand why you took a pic of such little stripers? Must be a Tenn. thing?$1,000 and I know the weight of the coins and it ain't ten pounds! HA!
No, they are Hybrid Bass caught on the Cherokee Lake. We were hoping for Stripers that day because my friend Lloyd who I was fishing with, caught two Stripers in the 25 pound range just the day before.

To huntsman, joecool, coinguy and anybody else who took offence to my overreaction to coinguy calling my coin a dog. Try to think of it like someone calling your mom or wife a dog. I got my little feelings hurt, didn't mean to hurt everyone else's little feelings and didn't mean to overreact. I'll be the bigger man and apologize, nobody's perfect all the time, just the old roofer coming out of me. (I still think they are little fish though, lol)
I have fished extensively in the Delaware Bay for striped bass from the late 80's on. The only hybrids that I seen were during the spawn up one of the rivers that flow into the Del. Bay, they were no where near the size of the bass that we caught in the Bay. It's a shame that nowadays we have to worry about posting a pic of a rifle, or a harvested deer for that fact. I bet those fish tasted very good for you and your family, I know it has always been a favorite of my family. The pic in my avatar is of the schooner the "AJ Meerwald" my grandfather used it in the forty's to harvest oysters in the Delaware Bay.
I'm glad there are no hard feelings, good luck to you and HH
