Photos help us see what you are asking about. Sometimes what we think we are seeing and what is actually happening are different things. For me, that happens often. Furthermore, some of us are visual learners vs reading or listening. The more information you provide, the easier it is for others to glean what you are asking.
Apologize for what ? You did nothing wrong! What was wrong was an immature attitude by the OP. When you come in here and act like that you reap what you sew. There's plenty of knowledge to be obtained here ,and for the most part the members are polite and willing to help. Manners will get you a lot farther then attitude with most.
I don't think your issue is thinking logically and/or literally... I think your issue is you got an answer, just not the one you wanted. What everyone was kind enough to do was ask you for more information in order to give you the answer you wanted. Please do not use this forum for a personal temper tantrum when things don't go your way. Just because the internet provides anonymity doesn't mean you should exercise complete freedom with those fingers.
Alright already... Yes, I have seen way too many of these that you speak over the years. All I can think of is poor workmanship in the design for these.
Ryan, just check out questions like that here: http://coins.ha.com/. I just checked out two 1946s, and the Es sit down, just like on yours. It's not anything I ever paid attention to, however, until you mentioned it.
Regarding yesterday, sorry for getting you guys all worked up. I had just worked a twelve hour day clearing trees and wasn't in the best of moods. Apologies all around.
Apologize accepted ! Just remember we all are here to share and help each other by the common thread of coin collecting. We don't always agree on everything but we do agree we all love our hobby .
Hey, I understand completely. I'm a land surveyor. If it's 100 degrees outside, and you have to take a bush axe and cut a 2000 feet line through a thicket of privet or mountain laurel, it most definitely brings the mood down!
