<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 8430629, member: 27832&quot;]I think you&#039;re being unfair here, Paddy. Look through both these YN&#039;s post histories, and you&#039;ll see that they <i>have</i> been doing their homework.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=136180]@Abramthegreat[/USER] didn&#039;t even <i>say</i> the coin had problems -- he just said &quot;good job, <i>assuming</i> it&#039;s authentic&quot;. That&#039;s not arrogance, that&#039;s simple prudent caution, <i>especially</i> when you&#039;re starting out.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=107431]@Matthew Kruse[/USER] said he thought the coin had been messed with. Frankly, I had the same impression from the first photo -- the color and texture looked super-unnatural.</p><p><br /></p><p>This &quot;was the coin messed with or not&quot; discussion comes up <i>all the time</i> when people post photos that look funny, and we get spirited disagreements <i>among</i> multi-decade experts. I don&#039;t think either of our YNs here did anything to deserve being slapped down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
