  1. Probably less than you think!!!
  2. Hmmm... I have a low # Washington coin.... maybe I can pay for all those others I've ordered... Naw, I'm holding out until the price gets "really" crazy!
  3. Oh I'm sure I have a few to tell about you, (Harts Pass) BUTT do we really want to go there...?
  4. Well I suppose I had better put myself in for 3. Love the skull.
  5. I would definately be interested.
  6. 1 silver 2 bronze please
  7. received mine today. That silver one is stunning. great job.
  8. Hot dog, got mine today. They look really nice. Like the brushed and the epoxy combination.
  9. I have an interest in 3
  10. How about an inukshook? See them all the time. The word "eh" could be thrown on there, a picture of Tim Horton's or the grumpy looking border patrol guys, (j/k the grumpy guys are on this side of the border...)
  11. That is funny. Sounds like he's getting a little cocky?
  12. It's when she starts taking pictures of fake owls when I get a little impatient... Baring?
  13. Grrr.... Either the Norwegian cousins or work has to go before I can come. I vote work! Sorry, I wont be able to attend
  14. Should amend my "order" to read 4 regular and 1 silver. Thanks
  15. Try medical or equestrian supply. They make saddle pads out of the stuff and elbow pads for rehab patients with fragile skin.
  16. It was a fight, but I got 5. I almost had to pull out the "if you loved me..." bit, but in the end, withholding travelers checks and giving a lot of stink eye got the job done.
  17. Donated a fair share of time and money in several "brightly decorated and auditorally stimulating gaming venues" so I feel a certain kinship with this coin. How about putting me down for 5? Thanks.
  18. Hey I hear you are tied to a desk now....hehehehe Maybe I'll come out and play now that I'll have more a chance to grab those firsties. Serously, a much needed vacation (Cancun), work and visitors are eating away at my caching. Gonna go play with Lucy in Seattle next week, wanna come. Oh wait, YOU HAVE TO WORK NOW!
  19. NO KIDDING! If that doesn't look suspicious after all that's been going on in the middle east and recently in London, I don't know what does. If ammo cans got attention, can you imagine how this would do? <visualizing M10B proned out in some park ..."really officer...I'm hunting tupperware...">
  20. My goodness, that was a lot of heat. 1) As is your perogative. 2) Yes, I agree with you here. Wording could have bit more diplomatic. But as has been demonstrated, the replies are just as testy. Yes they are in response to a overtly cranky answer, but 2 wrongs don't make a right. I'm not one to step down from a confrontation, but I would not give the satisfaction of letting someone rile me into escalation. I would feel the need to take the high road, to show some control and character. This is good common sense when dealing with the public/customers. 3) What I stated was not "bs crap". It is an actual saying we have. I missed you at the last meeting, so you must have missed when we said it. Meaning, you weren't there, how would you know it's "bs crap"? 4) I agree wholeheartedly. 5) Again, I point to #2. It would seem he shoots himself in the foot with his answer, but that has not changed the fact that many are still ordering the coin and paying the price for it. With this, we could segue into a discussion of the many monopolies of the world. We don't like it, but he's got something we want so it's worth the price... 5) Since I want the coin, I didn't have to make the coin and I can afford the coin, his efforts are appreciated by me. I should have made that clear. I try not speak for anyone other than myself. Please do me the courtesy and try to refrain from speaking for me. 6) Again, agree wholeheartedly. But I think that goes without saying since I don't know of many people who do like to be treated badly. 7) As would I, which is why I usually couch my responses and try to be more accomodating. I've been told for years that "you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar" (no pun intended). I have always enjoyed watching and admired those who can take a heated conversation, turn it around and come to a mutual agreement. It's a skill I hope to someday possess. Fly46, I appreciate the discussion and we are not so different on our views. Please do not harbor any ill will towards me, as I have none for those participating in this discussion.
  21. Boy do I have stories to tell about the last 700 or so....you know are the wind beneath my wings.....
  22. I thought thats what forums were for, discussions that were open and sometimes controversial. You don't like how a thread is going, don't read it. You don't like how much a coin costs to buy, don't order one. Simple. 'Nuff said on that. I would hardly catagorize someone who has put in enormous amount of VOLUNTEER effort into the coining process as lazy. As a volunteer for MANY organizations and having a seat on many of the boards of said organizations, we have a saying, "90% of the work is done by 10% of the people". It takes special people to volunteer, most times the only thanks you get are from those who are on your team. And after you've busted your butt on a project only to get grief, it's no wonder one would get testy and defensive. Bjorn, it hasn't been said...but thank you. You efforts are appreciated. (now can I have free shipping... )
  23. I would definately like 3
