let's start some buzz on the coin thread!

Understand this. I'm insulted, I feel no need to respond to a "challenge" from a member who apparently believes they can insult my deceased father as well. With that said where would YOU store coins and bullion? In your home? Buried in your back yard? I prefer a safe deposit box. Pictures? Right on the computer - I really hope you are getting my point. Lastly, if I did show you a photo of these coins on a gram scale in a bank vault, I've got $500 the member would challenge that as well. I have given opinions on TreasureNet, but never called someone's photo fake, or insulted their family. I thought doing that broke forum rules. If you want to rationalize this member's attack on me and my family, you have that right. I bled a little bit to make sure you do. Ten to one, TP is already scrolling through years of posts to find the word "Fake" in one. LMAO!

Put the coins on a scale, take a pic and show us. Show us the appraisers paperwork. It’s so easy for you to end this. The coins are fake and you know it. Prove me wrong and I’ll apologize. Forum rules prohibit me from calling you a liar and a fraud. All I did was call out two very obviously fake silver dollars. The ball is in your court.

To those who question the authenticity of someone else's coins,, what does it matter to you ? What difference does it make ? Does it make you feel better ? does the fact that whether you deem them to be real or have any relevance ?
I mean come on guys... come on. If a person shares a pic of some coins (which are coins whether or not someone calls them fake) and tells a story about provenance , what gives somebody else the justification to stand up and trample all over that story, call out fakes , liars etc...? Would it not be better to just see that the owner of these coins is happy with them and the memories attached, therefore making them as real , or more real than others ?.. Surf pirate was alluding to the same thing above. ,, so what if a website ,that you can find ,deems them to be fake ? what difference does it make ?..
I think some real treasure hunting may be necessary... for the treasure of the 'soul', which is most frequently expressed, by us humans, as Empathy towards others.

I'm with YOU on this one, who the F cares if they are fake, you are not buying them, no skin off your back ...
I'm an audiance member here too and I like looking at the coins, I can't tell the differance, instead of attempting to start a fight, just say that they appear to be reproductions and you should maybe get them checked out.. How in the hell does someone know for certain what a coin is or is not by pictures on a web page ? Seems more like opinions to me...
Seems really pointless to me unless your goal is to smear the guy showing the pictures.. IDK
(not saying you are, but it feels that way)
