    Goodness. Fellows certainly outdid yourselves....... @Melcha11, I welcome you to coin collecting. While it is true your cent is a common coin with little intrinsic value, it is rich in historical value. When you hold that coin you can think of the history, soldiers and lovers that simple cent has witnessed in its lifetime. Coin collecting is truly a rewarding hobby. Welcome.

    No anger here. Just respect. Maybe do some research on it and you might learn the trade. It doesn't matter if I like it or not. It's just common decency... well, maybe not so common anymore. But eventually this site will die down to you and about 5 others who disrespect all the newcomers if you guys can't simply respect others

    Your absolutely right. The history of that era is amazing and very intersting. And Its pretty awesome that coins have made their imprint in that time and still hold a piece of that history. .. if that makes sense lol

    Its all my fault. I just dont like it when people find a coin, think they are rich, then they go slab it, never come back to say we were right. So depending on the current beer intake, we have fun with these folks.

    If words hurt people, they really should abstain from keyboards and screens.

    Ok, yea I can see where you guys are coming from. Especially if you guys get alot of people like that. People who think they hit the lotto, come on here and ask a question or 2 then find out they should stick to collecting rocks lol. I understand now. I didn't really think about it that way... but still, at the same time, you never know if thats what their intentions are.. lol I don't know, I'm just all about respect. Had a few beers in me and went straight into sticking up for the beginners mode lol.

    And its not really words, or even people being hurt by other peoples words... its just respect. Hell, the keyboards and screens are probably what is killing respect. Most people who disrespect behind the screen wouldn't disrespect others to their faces.

    yup, we only want those strong enough to handle our banter anyways, so it all works out. Weed out the chaff....

    These people do not respect us to begin with, or they would do some actual recon prior to a dumb post.

    That is true. But i dont think most of them disrespect by just being lazy and posting a pic and asking a question.. but thats my opinion. It's not like they post a pic and say "hey, one of you numismatic crack heads tell me what this is" lol.. but yea.. I understand a little more now that I've only got one beer in me instead of 5 or 6 lol. Didn't really think about none of it before I wrote it. My fingers just threw up on the keyboard haha.. honestly here in about 2 or 3 months I might or might not understand even more and be right there with you guys. Just maybe a little more nicer yet blunt.

    I never mean disrespect. If I say one thing to a new member I get a big thanks. If I say the exact same thing to another I get the "you are a jerk" response. It's amazing the responses I have received over the years. But the good ones out weigh the bad ones.. So I continue doing what I do. Peace buddy. :angelic:

    It's not that they don't disrespect us.
    They believe the fake YouTube and click bait websites first because by believing it they'll be rich and they're just here for confirmation. When they don't get confirmation, well ....

    Honestly, if I would have had CT in 1970 when I was excitedly plucking wheat cents from my lunch lady change, I am sure I would have posted every one of them confident that each wheat was as marvelous to everyone else as it was to me.... It isn’t about doing recon. A new collector wants some affirmation that their find is as glorious as it is to them. Yes we have an Internet now and information is exceedingly simple to come by. But the new collector is seeking affirmation just as a kindergartener wants mom and dad to love their crayon masterpiece. And if we want to encourage new collectors then us old seasoned folks should offer that affirmation.
