<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1372930, member: 36230"]Is it not safe to assume that if not in this case, most others the OPs are seeking proper information? PumpkinPie has shown his experience and even in the most basic sense should not state opinion as fact. Who of you do not believe he was giving an intelligent and experienced opinion? How many of you would place your money on a coins authenticity on the word of PumpkinPie? There is nothing wrong with the kid learning, its commendable. The difference between his post and mine is that I clearly stated that proper images are needed to give anymore than an off the cuff remark. I also would not have thrown my two cents in without knowing I could back up my comment.</p><p><br /></p><p>MikeM2000,</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not mean to bust on you either. I simply stated that if you are willing to make the call on an 1889-CC Morgans authenticity using only small blurry images, you are a "gambler to say the least". Is this not true? I was quite impressed that someone took the time to do as you did on this one and my comment was nothing personal. Hypothetically, would you have bought that coin as a 1889-CC using only the photos to authenticate? If so it would be a very risky move (AKA: gamble). Nothing more nothing less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
