<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2717303, member: 17665&quot;]This does not involve any personal finds but is more or less a shout out to those you who do collect errors &amp; varieties. It seems we are a niche group for the most part and tend to be the geeks of the forum when we post minor finds. We are not going to get rich most likely but we do have a lot of fun, but sometimes get heckled for it. It is a fascinating hobby and one which I started back when Frank Spadone published his first book. Mr. Spadone tried something different in publishing his book and his intentions were good. A lot of mistakes to be sure but he was heckled right out of the hobby for his efforts. I would personally like to congratulate [USER=60345]@Heater[/USER] for his due diligence and persistence as he has added quite a few new &quot;Discovery&quot; finds to John Wexler&#039;s listings. And without the efforts of others like Brian Ribar, Marilyn Keeney, David Egeland and so many others Wexler&#039;s listings would be a whole lot shorter. Many here turn a blind eye towards this or often make inappropriate comments that are really unnecessary regarding our fun with errors and varieties. &quot;Trolling&quot; comes to mind. And while I realize that not everyone who posts a coin they think is an error without doing more homework, everyone here started at the beginning at whatever they pursued. So to all newbies and YN&#039;s who might want to pursue this line of numismatics, keep up the good fight, do not get discouraged, because there are those of us here who will help in as positive a way as is possible. I&#039;ve been doing it for nearly 50 years and I have enjoyed myself immensely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
