<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2605216, member: 76739&quot;]Your offer is graciously appreciated. But I will decline. But I believe when it comes to oddities. It means more to the individual when they come across it. As most of the coins I find have greater meaning to me because I found them in circulation. A majority of collectors disregard these kinds of coins. And that is their choice. But if I ever come across one and you&#039;re still a member of CT, I will personally post it to let you know.We can only hope that if there&#039;s any other members out there that do collect oddities/rim damage coins. They were post their find. And we can only hope that it would be a brother or sister of your coin.You know when it comes to error coins. There is so much out there. And as my years keep declining. And I find it difficult to remember what I ate for dinner last night sometimes. I found it&#039;s a lot easier if I just concentrate on what I like best. Right now they are quarters. But I do not disregard any other denomination. There is not a piece of pocket change That goes through my home that is not examine under my stereo microscope. And usually when I find a coin that does not look normal, that is put into a holder and examine a little more thoroughly later.And though I may disagree with a lot of the old school responses I receive on CT. If I&#039;m unsure of something I do not hesitate to post it. One thing I have found since being a member of CT, we have members that are professional in their field when it comes to numismatic. That very rarely getting involved in threads. But then again on occasion we has some that come out of the woodwork and like to share their experience. It&#039;s happened to me several times on CT. And each time it has been a learning experience for me, to increase my knowledge.(Example) A recent post of no grease. Put me in contact with a member that has extensive knowledge in the machinery. To me this is an invaluable source of knowledge and the internal workings of the mints coin production process.Now you bring up the subject of grade. Many years ago the grading process was unpredictable. It depended on the service you send it to. And back when I started collecting, sending a coin in to get graded was not an easy task and it cost a lot of money. A small group of us got together and decided to send the same coin in to each grading service. And as predicted.The coin came back with different grades from each company. I know nowadays these grading companies are trying to keep to a standard. So when it comes to asking me about a grade. (I&#039;ll say send it in). But there are members on CT that will give you their opinions of a grade.It seems again I have come across run of the mouth disease. So if you like it keep it. If not put it back in circulation and I may find. usmc60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
