Congrats, Shane!

The latest Canadian $20 note has a quote:

"Could we ever know each other in the slightest without the arts?"

Gabrielle Roy (1909-1983)

The $10 note features the first verse of John McCrae's poem, "In Flanders Fields", and its French adaptation, Au champ d'honneur, by Jean Pariseau

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below. "

Any other interesting quotes ON banknotes?

Congrats Cave Troll! Great contest syzygy!

Harri, I'd like one too, please.

I don't know of a way filter out all forums except the Coin forum.

Another way to browse for new posts is to go directly to the Coin forum. Topics with new posts are highlighted.

I received my snorter yesterday. Thanks Art for including a note for me and thanks to everyone who signed it.

Super coin, papadoc!

Looks a little like this German commem:

Snazzy indeed.

You can link directly to the enlarged image.

In your coin listing click on (+) Enlarge -> Right-click on the image -> Copy location -> include in your post as an image link.

The image link code will like like this:

Great looking note! Congrats SibMon!

I can deal with regualar reboots, as long as they are schedualed so we know what is going on and can know we just need to give it a minute to come back up.

It would be ideal if reboots were scheduled. Unfortunately it's out of my control.

The hosting company was having problems with the server load a few days ago, but it looks like they resolved it and the server is perfroming much better.

ok

whenever I run into a glitch, I'll report it, ok?

OK, thanks T3

Thanks for letting me know about the error. The database server is sometimes restarted by the hosting company during the day.

Fantastic site. Good job, Dave!

The grades in general do not excite me, history does. I'd be content with an uncirculated coin if its PR70 or MS60

There's no such thing as a free lunch.  Somebody pays for the Yahoo auction service and if it isn't going to be the seller, it will have to be the buyer.

I believe that advertisers will pay for auction services. There are lots of ads on Yahoo auction pages.

One good thing that could come out of this competition is eBay lowering or dropping its listing fees, which will be a great help to occasional coin traders.

We'll bring back CoinPeople live auctions in the next few months (whenever auction software becomes available) and then the competition will really heat up.

Beautiful medal, AF!

Google is building a payment system similar to PayPal, but not exactly the same. They were talking about a system with no stored value. All payments flow through the system, but no balances will be stored.

This is why I'm not active there:

"In the next step, you will verify your credit card with Yahoo! Wallet"

Doesn't eBay do the same for seller accounts?

I've seen a few discussions about alternatives to eBay for coin sellers. Looks like Yahoo is doing something about it.

Yahoo Auctions system looks good. They pioneered some of the original features which eBay picked up later. With some effort they could make a good dent in eBay's business. There aren't as many search and notification options. I tried to ask seller a question and the page timed out. I'll be watching for improvements and running a few trial auctions.

Coin auctions currently listed:

# United States (11172)

# World (2760)

# Ancient (52)

Paper money:

# United States (907)

# World (770)

06/06/05 Changes to Yahoo! Auctions

Yahoo! Auctions has changed its pricing to create a model that is free for all consumers listing items on our Auctions platform. We have eliminated all fees associated with Auctions listings, including listing fees and final value fees.

Many users have been asking for this type of structure, and we are happy to provide it as a way to strengthen our partnership with the seller community and clearly demonstrate our commitment to our sellers' success. The new pricing model will go into effect Monday, June 6, 2005.

This move to free listings was designed with the consumer in mind, as we are continually looking to offer the most relevant and useful products and services to our users. Over the years, we've achieved our objective of improving the quality of the site, making it easier for buyer and sellers to connect. This most recent move will make auctions more cost effective for both large and small sellers who wish to list items on Yahoo!, ultimately improving their margins.

Old ugly broad.

Welcome to CoinPeople! Have fun and enjoy your stay!
