He&#039;s at work at ICG, a coin comes in. He examines the coin, and if he sees something that warrants it he then looks at it with a hi-mag scope. And if he sees something interesting, he takes a picture of it through the scope, and he saves the picture. <u>There are NO pictures of the whole coin ever taken !</u> He completes his work and the coin is sent back to the owner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Days, weeks, months, maybe years later, he goes through his files, finds a given picture and decides to post it here and ask the questions he asks in the thread.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <i><span style="color: #660033">It&#039;s like you are the &quot;Invisible Man&quot; sitting next to my desk!</span></i></p><p><br /></p><p>As to the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>johnmilton, posted: &quot;Sometimes a view of the entire coin gives you more clues of what have been done to it. One either fights with you or ignores you. Either way, you will never change so ignoring you is better when one has had enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>I respect you knowledge, but not your demeanor on these boards. Given my age, I have probably had more years of experience, but you have probably seen more coins since it has been your profession for many years. Your put-downs don’t enhance you ability to teach. A little humility would go a long way.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Steven Shaw, posted: &quot;Yup, this guy is grating on my nerves with his know-it-all attitude.
