<p>[QUOTE="jay4202472000, post: 2319208, member: 42573"]Yes it has. I took a break from the forum a few months ago because of threads like this. Constant arguments, coin denomination bias, post a real variety and get a like or two, but post a coin that's been put through the wood chipper and get 25 pages, members that think way to highly of themselves, the list goes on and on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to show back up a couple of days ago because a cherrypicked a BU 1961 type B reverse quarter. Within a couple of posts, a member pointed it out to me that I shouldn't have posted it here because it wasn't an error coin, it was a die variety. I knew this. It's actually a reverse design variety (RDV-002 per CONECA).</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me state that I have ZERO hard feelings toward this member as we talked privately and I honestly believe he was trying to educate other members about the variety. Seems like a very good guy! But still members here seem to have to prove they are smarter than you. Especially if you are talking about Lincolns. There are a few that seem to hate them and all the minor die varieties associated.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, this coin weighs 85.5% of normal weight. I understand you are untitled to your opinion, but there is a table on mint tolerances somewhere. I don't know the exact number, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt it's not +/- 15%! I guarantee you if someone found a Morgan that weighed 22.86g vs 26.73g it would be the greatest find ever...but it isn't. It's that crappy little Lincoln cent! This forum used to educate people, not give half-assed, 100% inaccurate opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll say it again, this used to be my favorite forum. Not anymore.
