How should I post a thread with this image?

  1. This is a strike through. It was caused when a fiber got between the die and planchet.

  2. What is this called? Followed by choices which may or may not be correct or complete.

  3. Did something scratch this coin! Followed by yes or no choices.

  4. None of the above you pompous, know-it-all, creep.

Results are only viewable after voting.

    Obviously, to many members I've been a very bad :blackeye: :troll: poster. So I'm going to post the way you guys/gals prefer. Please take my poll to educate :bucktooth: me.

    How should I post a thread with this image:

    Remember this: For me, Ct is to be fun and educational - I learn things here all the time. We are all different; yet if other members make us mad or disappointed it will no longer be fun. The outcome of your vote both humorous or serious will assure you get what you wish from me regarding any posts I may make in the future with exceptions. Quotes and Enhancements :p are off the table.

    I, for one, like having you around Skip. How many coins have you handled in your lifetime?

    No you haven't.........

    I'd post a full on picture, and then follow it up with the zoomed in portion. Then the question as to what (?) or why (?).

    I think you should call it a thread thread.

    I honor your choice of options to vote for; especially the last one! If more polls were like yours I'd vote more often.

    One of the choices were left out. How about “Pretend that you are a TPG grader from a first tier grading company, just like I do.” :)

    "What is this called? Followed by choices which may or may not be correct or complete."

    The correct answer should always be one of the answers.
    Otherwise you are just trolling for wrong answers from newer members.
    It also makes it appear that it's not about education but about you being the only one with the right answer to inflate your ego.
    The old dogs around here know the answers so it's the new members that would benefit the most and you are playing games with them.

    I cannot post a decent image of an entire coin. The coin would need to be taken to another office (slowing the customer's order and the image department had to hire another person doing real imaging rather than making one for CT. Every so often I get a full image done for publication.

    Morgandude11, posted: "One of the choices were left out. How about “Pretend that you are a TPG grader from a first tier grading company, just like I do.” :)

    :D Homey's definition of a FIRST TIER :yawn: TPGS: Over-priced :greedy:, high-budget :jawdrop:, very slow :dead:, highly advertised :yack::yack::yack: organization of professionals :bookworm::cigar: who are just as knowledgeable as the folks at the second tier services that are faster, less expensive across the board, and don't have dealer members and fanboys to push their products. :oops:Oh, Add better customer service too! Hey, I don't envy your personal choice of who to pretend to be. However, even you should know that the #3 & #4 TPGS provide virtually the same grading/authentication opinions yet with fewer mistakes probably due to a lesser volume (by 100K + ?) than the big two TPGS you favor. :yawn:

    I think it's called a mintmark, without the al-lint-eration.

    Professor Coinsfield has the answer. Do you have the question?
