<p>[QUOTE="Kent, post: 685711, member: 22491"]Hey I went on that forum and read a bunch of that stuff and if it don't make you glad to be on CT then something is wrong with you. First of I just started back collecting after more than 20 years out of the hobby and I know that some of you are tired of all the questons I ask but none of you have complained and I have received a world of help from all who replied. I have seen those fancy rainbow colored coins and thought them all to be artificial because I had never seen one in person and had never seen one in a slab that I can remember until last week when I pulled a toned 1980 something penny out of a roll at the bank. it was pretty cool and I put it in a 2x2 because I wouldn't have in a set it just don't fit. I have thought about buying one of the silver tie died beauties off Ebay but couldn't for the life of me figure how a coin colored like that could be called MS or Proof when nothing comes out of the mint looking like that. Here I go showing my ignorance and opening myself up to public humiliation but realy shouldn't a mint state coin look like it came from the mint if it is a high grade piece? I don't see any differance in these and those painted up coins that they sell on TV. I know the coppers PennyLady post are real toned beauties but they don't look a bad acid trip from Woodstock. Hope that wasn't out of line with keep it clean part I do admire the integrity of this site and don't want to offend anyone and if I had I apologize. I am just glad you guys are not as cut throat and arrogant as what I was reading on the other board which by the way I will not return to. Sorry for being so long winded.</p><p>Thanks for all you have done to help me with this hobby Kent[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
