Chris I don't know if you remember, many years ago coin world magazine we used to call it the road atlas Because it size . Had a very interesting article in it about professional pickers, it's all these people did was go through coins picking out the errors and reselling them. According to the article these individual pickers were making up to 30 $40,000 a year doing this. I admit one side of me is the monetary collector, I collect gold for the monetary value like I believe most people should do. And like I stated before 98% of the coins I find in circulation. If I find a coin interesting it goes into my collection. I look at it this way I have a very interesting looking savings account. idhair Sir I'm not out to play anyone. I grew up in a school system that did not know how to deal with dyslexia in that time they did not know even what it was. I'm 61 years old and have been dealing with it all my life. Yes I cannot spell which is quite obvious at times, I use voice recognition which is only good as the individual using it, in my case I make a lot of mistakes. And probably will continue to do so. And like most people I have my good days and I have my bad days. And most of my bad days are dealing with members who do not know what dyslexia is and what people that do have it are dealing with on a daily basis believe me it's not easy and it's hard to keep a good perspective at times. I have been public about my problem and only asked that other members realize there is nothing I can do about it. This situation reminds me of a kid back when I was young in the neighborhood, this kid was about the smartest kid in our school intelligent wise. At this time this kid was going to RadioShack and buying parts and started making radar disruptors. This device un-calibrates radar guns. This kid could not keep up with the demand for these items. But while riding his bike if his chain came off he was not capable of putting it back on. For many years this baffled me. Basically he was extremely intelligent in some parts of his life and week in other parts. Get where I'm going with this. I'm an old dyslexic Marine redneck, and quite proud of the problems that I've overcome in my life. I'm a human being and like all human beings I do make mistakes and probably will continue making mistakes. And I'm also man enough to admit it. Enough of this running of the mouth, thank you for your reply.\V/
As you are entitled to your opinion. Books other members on this site give their opinions and they state them in such a way that they are fact include yourself in this, I expressed an observation but no one had the courtesy to say what you think caused this. Somewhere in the beginning this train took a spur route. And I will blame myself for letting this happen. I guess just being an old honorary Marine redneck I wanted to see where this spur track was going. And I do not know what's wrong about saying there is no nickel present on a lot of these dimes. And the people that I've shown these coins to that are not collectors they all say they look like pennies. So what is not true about my statement as a fact?
