<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2790233, member: 36230&quot;]How am I &quot;snagging up&quot; your posts to Nolan? Is this prison, and you&#039;ve called dibs on trying to make him your snuggle bunny? Seriously, I don&#039;t recall saying one word against or countering you in any of his threads, so what&#039;s the real issue here?</p><p><br /></p><p>And as for the Zeiss attachment, yes, I have, and in fact, I didn&#039;t know they were marketing such things until you mentioned it. Not many on this board write of Zeiss in any fashion, so it&#039;s not like you&#039;ve been lost in the mix. I&#039;m a big fan of Zeiss and can&#039;t blame you at all, but the greater point still stands; their products aren&#039;t for everyone, nor are such suggestions the answer to the problem. Considering your apparent interest in photography, I can only assume you&#039;d agree that the quality of one&#039;s equipment is meaningless unless they actually know how to use it. It&#039;s like those who run out and dump many thousands into the &quot;best&quot; camera and lenses expecting to get professional-level results instead of actually learning photography and/or how to use it. This is also why I made my perfectly reasonable suggestion, but instead of taking it at face, you apparently would prefer to argue instead of possibly helping those you incessantly criticize.</p><p><br /></p><p>One doesn&#039;t need a near ideal photo to make most general determinations, and this thread is a fine example of it. No, the provided photos are not sufficient to grade the coin from, but they are good enough to tell, with absolute certainty, that the coin is far from the 65-67 range, and is all that really matters. Harping on about photos is likely to drive more people away than nicely trying to help them, or simply making the most of what they post.</p><p><br /></p><p>And you&#039;re right... you haven&#039;t seen any coin photos from me, and for good reason. I do not collect, nor have I had any real-world involvement in this hobby for over five years now. This, of course, has nothing to do with the fact that I&#039;m not the one harping on how terrible other&#039;s photos are all while not really trying to help them. Take as you will, but after having pressured someone into tearing their iPhone apart, costing them money they cannot comfortably afford in the process, one would think you&#039;d either tone it down some, or make a greater effort to help. Seriously... please do think about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and as for dismissing a coin as not being a variety when, as you say, &quot;in fact they were&quot;, please provide examples. I can think of a couple times over the years, but is far from the regular thing you imply. That said, if you&#039;re basing your conclusion on the &quot;findings&quot; of a certain other member who fancies himself as some sort of variety guru, well, I&#039;ll let you figure it out for yourself.... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
