<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2111927, member: 15199&quot;]Tom , to be fair, most of the coins presented on forums are close to face value and are not really DD, but MD or damaged. Even if someone didn&#039;t&nbsp; worry about getting rich, but just wanted to recoup his time at better than 10 cents an hour, searching common coins for such is senseless. Searching for the thrill OK, but for money, not so. I read all of these variety postings, and probably less than 5% are ones that are true, and some of them are so minute, there is no return for having even the cheap experts giving an opinion as the expense is greater than the value. Single squeeze die making has produced ( IMO) huge numbers of mostly disputable &#039; double die/MD &#039; results that even experts argue over, let alone people new to the game.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is good to encourage members to remain positive, but they should be aware to take ALL comments ( + or -) equally for unknown expertise level with a grain of salt, until they have a reference base to rely on. I consider Mike Diamond and Coop two of the truly experts who will comment and educate. All should look at post #7&#039;s top diagram. Learning from it would reduce false positives tremendously if one only paid attention. Knowledge should come first, just searching won&#039;t do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
