Message:: [QUOTE="jeankay, post: 576200, member: 12159"]Hi Carl,I am a member of the Coppercoins, PCGS, Coneca, Coinpeople, Cointalk and The Lincoln Cent Resource forums. Problem is, I cannot seem to manage enough time to get to all of them, and chose LCR because of its focusing on Lincolns. Since I started at LCR I have learned so much more about Lincoln errors and varieties and other aspects of coin collecting. Yes, I actually did find my 22 Plain a few months ago. Arizona Jack was the one who verified it in my post here on Cointalk, as did Jack Beymer at the coin store, and then AJ sent it onto PCGS for final authentication, certification, and grading. With high end coins I believe it is better for the experts to do the final steps. I will not break certain coins out of slabs, including the coin I just posted. However, with that said, I have busted out my share of coins for my album so I can show them off. Those coins have backup slabs in the safe. The LCR forum allows me to be in touch almost daily with Chuck, Bob, Billy, BJ, and many other pros who have been exceptionally helpful in teaching all of us about varieties, and giving us a chance to be contributors to their sites. All of the CT'ers have been very helpful and supportive and I don't mean to slight anyone. Sometimes one needs to be where the copper mines are in order to learn and participate more fully in the process. Thanks bunches Carl!Jean[/QUOTE]
