DONT YOU DARE BELLMAN!!!! Don’t you bring your drunken and debauched bees near my little Buzzy. @V. Kurt Bellman
My momma told me about bad mens like Bellman. Theys bad bad Mens theys is. Mean, theys tells its like it is. Oh sooo bad. Scary. But I am a newbie so I don’t know bett....Ooo I found this in the parking lot and I know it’s a double stamped triple error very rare and worth a lot how much is it worth no your wrong do you want to see a thousand tilted out of focus pictures I took with my new cellphone that I got for Christmas and it takes okaypicturesbutimnotsureifthiscoinisstampedright. Kinda silly isn’t it? This is the standard weekend new member. Do we need these types dragging the site down or should we get a little tougher on some of the flakes?
Here's my bottom line - NOBODY is doing ANYBODY any favors by encouraging delusional beliefs, not even ONE TINY BIT!!! If the delusional can't stand up to a little ribbing and challenging, the LEAST of their problems in life is ME. Honest to Pete! The basic problem is, to my way of thinking, that the Internet IN ITS TOTALITY (not CT in particular), is just one gigantic delusional thinking enabling engine. And it's about time somebody called a spade a spade.
Would you pass the shovel Kurt. Oh I mean spade! And don’t bring Pete into this there are to many people as it is!
Thank you for considering participants here as a reliable source for answering your question, just as we might ask what needle to use for a project, or what you think about certain items of female general familiarity. Some here don't consider what information they may need to answer your question, and others are just CRUDE normally. The majority here would be willing to help, once we understand your wants. We're generally also sorry for being stupid (i.e. without understanding). Some here seemingly have that trait perfected. What would you specifically like to know about those coins? Just try to explain as best you can, and pardon some misunderstanding. Happy New Year!!
You may consider yourself to be a "new" member and emphasize that in many posts. Then again, with almost 880 messages in a little more than a month, you are apparently not that new, and not scared either ... As for trying to be nice with others, I agree, that applies to everybody here, Doug and Kurt, you and me. But when I see a "Guess I'll leave then" comment, made by a fairly long time member who does not really handle everybody else with velvet gloves either , my answer may also be something that I would not say/write to a newbie. Christian
Nor should that EVER be the case, for ANYONE. NEWSFLASH, ALL: it's a tough brutal world out there in "meatspace", and NOBODY will mollycoddle the timid or the reticent. If being a YouTube junkie has so rotted your mind that you have to post questionless pictures, and invite comments without a scintilla of a clue what you think you do or do not see, you are in need of things that searching circulation coins for errors will NEVER provide you.

I just got back from joining my "new" home coin club for ANA "sign-in" purposes at conventions. Harrisburg Coin Club. So now I can start to not represent THEM well, right @Insider? I love the "optics" of the club. They meet in a slightly shabby social hall of a fire company in the rundown Susquehanna River steel town of Highspire, PA. They are into what many here would call excessively "highbrow" numismatic subject matter.

I feel a hardscrabble tough-as-nails steel town club and my style are a match made in heaven. These guys just ooze "recently retired steel worker" zeitgeist, right down their union jackets.
I couldn’t have said it any better. Before the internet was big and you had to go the library, you LEARNED. Today, it is so easy to get your coin questions answered, but you need to be willing to learn more. There’s nothing wrong with asking questions, but you have to willing to understand the answer given and then study the subject more. When you had to read a book to find your answer, you got an answer AND tons of useful information. It may have taken several hours to read a coin book, but it was faster than asking thirty questions about your non existant error coins. If you have no idea what your question means, what’s makes you think that you’ll be able to understand the answer!
Ok, now I will get the "why did I get an infraction? When you make a post all you include in it , words, quotes,memes , videos, etc. becomes yours. I hope you are keeping track.
