[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 614397, member: 15199"]I thought this was most revealing.....something about the pot not calling out the kettle. I read their forum quite often, and seldom have found more people patting each other on the back for so little contribution. However, perhaps some of their criticism can be used to further advance our lead. We have a clinker award, maybe we need a "nice guy/gal award" for those, and we notice who they are, who take the time to answer the "introduction" posts, and the "copper 1943 lincoln" and the " How do I clean this coin" with some sympathy, dignity, and friendliness. There are nice ways and harsh ways to tell a new collector that they have only machine doubling rather than a real 1969S DDO. What I hope this forum never forgets ( unlike certain others) that even the experts once lifted their first coin to their eye and wondered..... Of course back then, the price sheets were on papyrus.:rolleyes: Jim[/QUOTE]
