<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jay4202472000, post: 2277971, member: 42573&quot;]Tom, here&#039;s a word of advise, if you are going to search Lincolns and collect the minor varieties, join the Lincoln Cent Resource forum.&nbsp; You&#039;ll learn more about them than you ever thought possible...not to mention you won&#039;t be belittled for collecting minor varieties.&nbsp; I&#039;ve yet to understand why it bothers folks so bad that people collect minor Lincoln varieties.&nbsp; They need to pound it home that these aren&#039;t worth your time.&nbsp; You know what? They are full of it!&nbsp; It&#039;s plenty worth my time!&nbsp; You know why?&nbsp; I enjoy the crap out of it.&nbsp; Some people don&#039;t have wads of money lying around to spend on other money, yet still enjoy collecting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This used to be my favorite forum BY FAR.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Nowadays it seems you get more attention over a damaged coin than a legitimate variety or error.&nbsp; You put a Cherrypickers Guide variety up and get 4 or 5 congrats.&nbsp; You put up a minor variety and get belittled for a page or two about how minor it is.&nbsp; You throw a coin in a wood chipper, take a pic, post it, and the arguments go on for 10 to 15 pages.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s happened here?!?</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe eBay could help out by banning the sell of these crappy, minor doubled dies.&nbsp; Let&#039;s not allow people to collect what they want to.&nbsp; Hell, someone posted a few weeks ago that eBay should ban machine damaged coins.&nbsp; I sure don&#039;t collect them, but some do.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t believe it, and I know some don&#039;t, look at sells for correctly described MD.&nbsp; But, since that certain poster doesn&#039;t like it ban them.&nbsp; eBay ban these...absolutely asinine!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Tom, sorry for hijacking your thread, I just can&#039;t take the BS anymore![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
