[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2445649, member: 24314"][COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 0)]I agree with your comments 100%! :joyful:[/COLOR] Many people I have worked with in the past are either colorblind or just plain stupid. :bucktooth: You can show them virtually anything and they are too ignorant to understand simple concepts. For example in post #77 there are two images of the same coin using different light sources. One image is basically the same color throughout while the other shows silver and gray tones. The different colors indicate parts of the coin with disturbed luster. A better example of this ignorance occurs when I show a non-collector an original, frosty, BU Peace dollar and a Polished AU at the same time. In virtually every case the :bucktooth: picks the polished coin as the most attractive and better coin! Uninformed collectors and ignorant non-collectors are my favorite challenge and thankfully there are members here such as yourself who help. :kiss:[/QUOTE]
