Home Page - Top Forum Topics - December 31st 2014

While 2013 wasn't in all honesty Numista's finest hour, (yeah, mixed metaphors, bite me) it was certainly one of the more lively, even entertaining.

On the homepage the top six forum topics are listed based it seems on the freshness of the posts and the number of likes received. So, in your opinion, what will be the hot topics one year from now?  Pick your top six.

RULES:

1. Entertainment value trumps accuracy.
2. Don't be offended, it's just some festive entertainment. Internets Butthurt report forms are available on request.
3. errr, that's it

Top Forum Topics 12/31/14

1. Swaps and Trades - There will be at least one complaint that the Gold Mohurs promised by Mr Sock Puppet haven't arrived. How could this happen to me?
2. Coinsoldier will return as a 3 armed 107 year old transvestite and complain that the unfairly handsome Mr Nightingale is bullying him. P.S. Wanna buy some real cheap silver coins? Cash only. He will be welcomed by the Numista team.
3. The Royal Canadian Mint will announce their 2014 Christmas commemorative sets made from real solid gold .9999 fine plated cookie dough.
4. The Euro will have collapsed and the European banks will be scrambling to remember where they put all the real coins. All the Brits will be pointing and laughing.
5. Someone will FINALLY ask the obvious question: why are coins round?
6. Silver spot price will reach $50 per ounce and I will be most content having been buying junk silver for 15x face value.

The winner will receive one random coin from Costa Rica, just pay shipping and handling.

Hahahaha.

Surely your top 6 will happen throughout the year:p

Hmm... note to self...must by scrap silver:D

1. Swaps and trades - some good kind kid offers free coins to people as a christmas present and ends up arriving at these addresses to rob their coin collections.

2. Commemorative coins will be minted to mark 10 years, 20 years, 33 years and so on from strike of previous same-looking coin, but now it will be with the colourful stuff on it.

3. We form a group going out on treasurehunts and that becomes one of the main topics with all the chests of cool coins we find:)

umm....thats it...it's morning...

1: A fleet of American/ British/ French swappers will invade Canada looking for their 1911 Dollars.

2: Liberia announces the end of their commemorative coin program... and the beginning of a new one where there is a mandatory 50 new coins per minute. Plus coins commemorating the anniversary of striking of those coins.

3: Canadians start asking for people to ID their pennies.

4: A request is put through for Numista to put digital frogs in the catalog (that's after regular frogs are put in the catalog).

5: Numista starts offering a program where you buy coins and pay a referee (Particularly Indian ones) to look after them. You can always look at your coins on a webcam.

6: People ask what shape their coins are, because mints around the world are pumping up "geometric coins" in shapes nobody ever heard of.     

4. Numista will make a sticky topic (like the forum rules and swap evaluation and warning are) to tell us about the danger of Numista to our health as it is going to be put into list of addictive things. I will be the first one applying to Numista general hospital for coinaholics, as I sometimes check Numista site as often as my e-mail.

A year from now a friend from former Hasburg lands in the eastern europe will be asking Xavier to do some changes in the site which Xavier will be ignoring as usual          and another friend from former Ottoman lands in Eastern Europe will be using that correspondance to attack the former Hasburg lander which will be joined by some Canadians who would be looked badly by some former Brits living in their former colonies across the seas, while French and Germans look at these things knowingly and without commitment and a Turk asking himself "what is going on, I though this was a site for collectors, not "World coin war 3"          
I am only joking...
Merry christmas and a happy new year all      

one year from now we will be saying merry christmas again

that is for sure
