<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26138901, member: 104064&quot;]As a guppy, it was an eye-opening experience for me. I had no idea who Roger was at the time, and when I was banned, the president accused me of being in some sort of conspiracy with Roger. That part was bizarre. It was a big fish who had submitted the 1942 experimental cent, and they made a media splash about this &quot;one-of-a-kind high relief&quot; Lincoln. I presented image evidence that it had the same microscopic features as many circulation 1942 cents and was likely just from a fresh pair of working dies they used to test aluminum (right or wrong, who knows, but still). I also posted evidence that it was the same dies used on a second experimental cent. Roger, the author of the book on all of the 1942 experimental cents, was not consulted before their designation, and maybe got too heated. He was put in purgatory, and then poof, banned with no second chance. Meanwhile, they deleted the entire 16+ page thread on the topic, after putting it in &quot;do not bump to recent posts&quot; mode. Admittedly that angered me, because I&#039;d spent a lot of time researching, and it was all gone. I mentioned this again months later on another thread, and bam.</p><p><br /></p><p>The kicker is that later, that second pattern coin was also designated as high relief. So the coin that started it all wasn&#039;t unique anymore, and somebody might have been paying attention to my posts. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just like telling that story I guess. Each forum has its own, uh, characteristics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
