Not really, but just wondering why the Proof (LN2) and the LN6 set of Lincoln cents do not have the VDB engravers Initials more pronounced on the coins ??? If I did not have a large enough power magnifier, I would never know the initials were even there. For this reson, I will give a thumbs down to the present day designers or engravers of these coins.   11-15-2009, 07:22 PM   #2 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,744 Why did you purposely post a misleading/inaccurate thread title instead of one that was on point? That seems like a disservice to your fellow forum members.   11-15-2009, 07:47 PM   #3 (permalink) Mojavedave Senior Member     Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 370 Quote: Originally Posted by Mark Feld Why did you purposely post a misleading/inaccurate thread title instead of one that was on point?

The purpose of the header was to get your attention.   11-15-2009, 07:51 PM   #4 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,744 Quote: Originally Posted by Mojavedave Sorry if it offended you.

But it really can be unfair to get some one's attention and encourage them to open a thread they wouldn't otherwise open, via a misleading title. I don't doubt that a number of other posters will think it's perfectly fine, however.   11-16-2009, 09:43 AM   #5 (permalink) grizz numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: aliquippa, pennsylvania Posts: 1,539 .....hmmmm   11-16-2009, 04:44 PM   #6 (permalink) 900fine doggone it people like me     Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 4,320 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Mark Feld That seems like a disservice to your fellow forum members. True.

Agreed.   11-18-2009, 07:29 PM   #10 (permalink) Mojavedave Senior Member     Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 370 I apologize to all those who think I did a disservice or misled them on the header title. Due to your negative feedback, I will hesitate to post anything in the future unless I can be more creative of an appropriate title.   11-18-2009, 07:48 PM   #11 (permalink) covert coins Coin Hoarder   Join Date: May 2008 Location: UP of Michigan Posts: 839 My Mood: Mojave Don't worry about it..
