Most excellent what?

The post was an obvious cut and paste from some rare coin website. No =
matter how you look at it. I call that spam.

The offer of a trade without the obvious cut and paste is not spam.

Got it? Excellent !!!

    Excuse me Mr. Strope. I am not "spamming the list" I am a member of =
this list and thought it would be an interesting offer to some, not all, =
to trade METEORITES for rare coins.
    =20
    Your post "Quit spamming the list with this crap." is inappropriate =
and uncalled for. A respondent to my offer was Richard Norton. So there.

        WILL TRADE RARE COINS FOR YOUR METEORITES!!!
        =20
        That's right! Michael Casper will trade his rare coins for your =
meteorites!
        Now is the time to trade those silly rocks from space for rare =
coins. Over the years, rare U.S. coins have proven to be one of the most =
profitable of all investment vehicles. For long term price appreciation, =
relatively few investments have compared to the gains made by high =
quality gold and silver rare coins. When purchased through a =
knowledgeable and reputable dealer, rare coins can provide an =
intelligent and profitable diversification to your overall portfolio.=20
        The fact is, rare coin investments are no longer going unnoticed =
by the investment community. Today, they represent an increasing share =
of many corporate pension and profit sharing plans and frequently =
recommended by leading financial planners. Although past history is no =
guarantee of future performance, it seems safe to surmise that quality =
rare coins will continue to provide a viable diversification to one's =
overall portfolio.=20

        Rare coins also enjoy many advantages over other investments. =
Their traditionally high rate of appreciation is certainly the most =
compelling, but there are many others, including:

          a.. Safety
          Prior to 1985, the price of a rare coin was determined by =
dealers using their own subjective opinions on the condition (or grade) =
of the item in question. Since the difference between single points on =
the grading scale often means huge price differentials, these often =
biased "grading opinions" obviously led to numerous conflicts of =
interest and abuses by certain dealers in our industry. However, in =
1985, several of our nation's leading rare coin specialists formed an =
independent certification company that would finally set a standard for =
grading & authentication. The formation of the Professional Coin Grading =
Service (PCGS) revolutionized our industry, making it safer for the =
novice collector/investor to acquire coins with the peace of mind that =
his or her coins were properly graded. In 1987, the inception of the =
Numismatic Guarantee Corporation (NGC) provided a competitor to PCGS. =
Although there are other grading companies, none deliver the widespread =
acceptance or consistency of NGC or PCGS. Asan added benefit of =
certification, the coins are encapsulated in sonically sealed, =
tamper-evident holders which provide safe, long-term storage.=20

          a.. Liquidity
          Unlike other tangible assets such as jewelry, stamps or =
artwork, the rare coin market enjoys a very active trading environment =
with up to the minute 'bid' and 'ask' prices available for investors. =
Dealers, collectors and investors actively compete for high-quality =
rarities. Technology, satellites and specially designed computer systems =
now allow coins to be traded in much the same way that individual stocks =
are traded on Wall Street. Even during our market's 'slow times', coins =
remain liquid because the foundation is still based on collectors - who =
in turn sustain demand.
        Please visit our new web site www.caspercoin.com and email, fax =
or call with your offers.
