<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pennsteve, post: 1429586, member: 33011&quot;]I&#039;m just saying......some people on here say things like &quot;it&#039;s easy to tell if it&#039;s a proof&quot; but then don&#039;t explain how or why.&nbsp; Then another persons says&nbsp; &quot;proofs have square rims&quot; without explaining what they mean.&nbsp; Perhaps if people gave more information when replying, the new person won&#039;t have to ask as many questions, thereby angering those who have experience.&nbsp; Although why anyone should get angry over it is beyond me......after all, this is a coin forum where you come to GET HELP........now I&#039;ll wait for someone to tell me that &quot;newbies&quot; should do research.&nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps they did do research but they still don&#039;t understand, and since you can&#039;t ask a non-living website to clarify, they come to message boards like this one to get answers, only to be scared away by the all-knowing experts who were never &quot;newbies&quot; and most definately knew everything about coins since the day they were born.&nbsp; (yes, sarcasm. lol)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry if anyone gets angry over my post......just sort of ummm.....you know....deal with it?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I know I posted something about &quot;new collectors&quot; and their obvious pmd coins, but there is a difference between asking if a coin is an error that was obviously smashed by a train and asking how to tell if your no mintmark dime is a proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
