<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3388471, member: 15199&quot;]Ian , there are forums where the members tend to &quot;hem and haw&quot; about opinions&nbsp; and say hold on to it until someone else comes along, because most of them have outspoken member, but inexperienced &#039;experts&#039; , but ours are some of the most experienced&nbsp; and knowledgeable outspoken members. We don&#039;t&nbsp; dance around the answer. If it is wrong, someone else will correct it. These members will give the best answer or at least the best &quot;free&quot; answer. Are they always right, No , of course not....but highly correct.IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris and others emphasizes that errors and varieties of value are made in the mint , any change to a coin after the process of making a coin is done, is damage...Thus is is of utmost importance to know what the processes of preparing and making coins are , to be able to separate the 2. Many of us are rather outspoken because we want to emphasize that nature and humans can do many things to coins for various reasons, but outside the minting process, it may look cool , but if it isn&#039;t possible it is mainly spending money. My advice to new comers is to read articles on the minting process for success. Many threads here can be &quot;searched&quot; also using the search block on the top. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
