<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Reid Morgan, post: 4148918, member: 108339&quot;]Well, when [USER=107766]@Michael777[/USER] finally gave us some info on his digital scale and revealed that his was calibrated with a 50 gram weight, I did suggest that it was not capable of discerning a one gram delta between an 11.5 gram 40% Kennedy and a 12.5 gram 90% planchet error from 1964-5? Maybe he decided not to submit it to PCGS?</p><p><br /></p><p>In any event, every newbie has a right to learn by making mistakes and not get mocked and shamed for it. My first post on CCF was to upload a Kennedy half photo and ask if it was a new die variety?&nbsp; It was a simple case of MD, but no-one on CCF responding to my post treated me with anything but kindness, tolerance and a willingness to teach me the difference between MD and true hub doubling. A few weeks later I found my $7 &quot;Wonder Quarter&quot;, a FS-25-1943-103(016.7). My Tru-View pic is still available for Doubting Thomases who think it is impossible for a newbie six weeks into die variety hunting to be able to discern and grab a $7 AU 1943 quarter in the 20 seconds I spent on that coin going thru a red box full of nothing but 2x2 25c flips. I did not know it was a FS-103, but I DID know it was a DDO. It was exciting to go home, with my wife by my side, go to the PCGS Price Guide website and use its hyperlinks to eliminate, first the FS-101, then to eliminate the FS-102, and finally to sit there in disbelief to realize I had found an FS-103!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>D.
