<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 3117905, member: 24544&quot;]To kellymm and Monster; Here&#039;s the thing, everyone that has replied to you in this thread has been on this board posting and interacting with one another for years.&nbsp; We have not only dedicated significant portions of our lives to learning the minutia of the minting process and coins in general, but we have further decided that we want to spend a significant amount of time and energy sharing our knowledge with like minded individuals and new collectors.&nbsp; Not only do I trust the insight of people like booksb4coins, desertgem, paddy, and the other regulars that responded to you, I have had years of positive interactions and trust their intentions, instincts, and general coin chops.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, when you post, all you see are a bunch of random people you don&#039;t know and have no reason to trust, give you an answer you don&#039;t want.&nbsp; Now, I understand some of us don&#039;t write in the warmest manner, but consider for a moment how it may come across when you step into a tight knit community of dedicated hobbyists and dealers, ask them a question, have them all spend time responding to you, and then turn around and publicly doubt them.&nbsp; No offense here, but when that&#039;s combined with the type of coin you are asking about, which to a non-beginner (nothing wrong with being a beginner, we all were too) is obviously not a mint error, it really does make us all kind of wonder why we bothered in the first place.&nbsp; Kind of like if you were an art critic but refused to highly praise a child&#039;s finger painting, what would you think of the parents who were still going to &#039;ask a professional&#039;?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
