Didn't Beethoven end up going deaf? So what's wrong with trying to be a semi~blind coin collector? I did not know that you have eye trouble ,and I wasn't trying to give any negative feed back I hope i didn't offend you in anyway If I did I appologize I was not doing that only making a point sorry Joe   07-01-2009, 01:34 PM   #77 (permalink) just coins Just coins dealer   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: upstate NY Posts: 1,313 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by DoK U Mint I was not attempting deception but rather seeking explanation.

I just took exception to being taken for an intentional deceiver. Gets my hackles up. Just let me be less stooopid as I learn here. Besides, if you have ever spent any time handling really HOT metal you get callouses so one can not discern subtle surfaces. You, as a percussionist, perhaps have big knuckles. __________________ "We're all ignorant, just on Different Subjects."

No I don't have big knuckles ,but i do have some callouses and some carpel tunnel at times and arthitus, but it doesn't stop me performing in my field I have to it;s my life i must be creative it's in the blood. I'm so sorry again and your right This is a learning school because i;m still learning there;s so much to absorb in this field of numismatics my brain hurts me sometimes from trying to comprehend and retain everything. Sorry I do feel bad.

Moving right along....I tried to find a link to my stepkids space. No Go. I think he's pulled the page since turning 31 a few weeks ago. Because his name is Morgan, I fixed him up with a few upon Graduation. (Not my really good ones...yet) He was a drummer in a "Physio Billie" band in St Louis. His knuckles are large from doing a lot of rimshots, RAW. Ok...all of him is Large, in a Buff way. Now he's older. Since getting his MBA, Moved to CO this Spring & has started using the brushes and ear plugs I gave him and dropped his tempo below 257 BPM. And since he's no longer in school now only needs to get a JOB so he can drop out of one of the two bands he is in. Now, Hopefully he will not bang himself deaf before his knuckles shrink. __________________ "We're all ignorant, just on Different Subjects."

I've collected several that are multi-colored. This is my most extreme example. I had a dream once where a 1944 stuck to a magnet. This one does not. Any explanations? I once thought post mint solder, but some of the lettering seems to be OVER it. I esp. like the end "T" in Cents.

And here is my conclusion~ The coin has a planchet/lamination problem that was struck through with an inclusion before it got stained and somebody tried to glue it to back together? I LOVE it. Here's my plan. I get $1000 insurance, mail it off to you, Mike. Hope it gets lost in transit and I can buy a better camera! I at 1st also thought it had some crazy glue on it. That was months ago and I started looking at CONICA posts. I've always loved the odd. And now that I've become more intimate with the coin and the things that can happen to a coin (made from gold/shot into space/abducted by aliens/stolen from the Smithonian/used to buy stamps).... I need to send this to you so you can write it up for CONECA!!! It's a no lose deal for me. If I ever see it again I can then put it up on eBay and still buy a new camera. If you want to PM the address to me I will entrust it to you and let you do your thing and we all will learn.....What could possible go right with this coin? Sacagawea gets her 15 minutes of fame. I could get a new camera. Are we allowed to place wagers here? I bet it's a 2000 P Sacagawea. Dang, I'ld better count the tail feathers 1st! It might be a Cheerio!!! That would clinch it. Now discern if the glue was placed before it was placed in a Cheerios Box. __________________ "It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for."

Now, was it glued to a cardboard slab inside a Cheerios box? __________________ "We're all ignorant, just on Different Subjects."
