<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2487095, member: 24314&quot;]Unfortunately, dude, you DID NOT ASK ANYTHING.&nbsp; You joined into this thread <span style="color: #b300b3">perfectly OK </span><span style="color: #000000">and gave an opinion</span><span style="color: #b300b3"> perfectly OK </span><span style="color: #000000">that it matters when the damage occurred to the coin </span><span style="color: #b300b3">I don&#039;t think anyone here will disagree with that</span>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dude, here is the problem.&nbsp; The thread was about the scratches or repairs made to the coin&#039;s EDGES.&nbsp; Dude, we were NOT writing about the planchet marks one member illustrated. As I said in my post, you cannot (with few exceptions <span style="color: #006633">this was not posted as this Dude did not feel it was necessary) </span>tell when the &quot;modern&quot; edge repair or ancient filing was done.&nbsp; Therefore, as I posted, it does NOT matter (except for fraudulent alterations and historical minting methods) when the edge was damaged because the coin is ruined Dude!&nbsp; As for the &quot;historical&quot; aspect, it means nothing if we cannot tell when the edge was filed!&nbsp; Now, if all the edges of a particular coin type and locality have similar file marks, we are learning something here Dude.</p><p><br /></p><p>When this thread &quot;moved&quot; to postings about filed ancients; if you would have actually ASKED how to tell the difference I would have made some comments. As it happened Dude, since you posted that it matters to you when the EDGE filing occurred, I was waiting for you to educate me/us how to tell the difference.&nbsp; Sadly Dude, now we are posting film clips and flaming the messenger. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie23" alt=":bigtears:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie23" alt=":bigtears:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie23" alt=":bigtears:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
