<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2980397, member: 36230&quot;]If you&#039;ve indeed dug through my posting history you should then know I&#039;m not doing this for my health, but for folks newer to this hobby not yet able to separate the wheat from the chaff. Do you come here expecting to be misled by those presenting themselves as authorities, or is correct and proper information what you seek?</p><p><br /></p><p>Stop worrying about nonsense for a moment and take an objective look upon this thread. Perhaps you&#039;ll notice that the OP went out of her way to clarify that she is very new to this area, yet Mr. Stachowski would have us believe that her silence is proof positive that his attribution is indeed correct. Does this make sense to you? </p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s take it a step further. Does inserting a few arrows on to a photo in any way prove his assertion? Did he ask for additional photos or in any way try to educate the young lady before stating, as if absolute fact, the coin is of his claimed variety? Again, does this make sense? </p><p><br /></p><p>Mr. Stachowski is fairly good with varieties, but for whatever reason he is also ridiculously over eager to &quot;attribute&quot; every other coin posted to this forum as being one, often when there&#039;s absolutely nothing suggesting even the possibility. When one makes a claim, the onus is on them to back it up. Intentionally or not, what he&#039;s doing is both misleading and unhelpful to those who don&#039;t know any better, but if you wish to fault me for calling BS, so be it. Perhaps, if so deeply concerned with feelings, you should stop for a moment and think about those on the receiving end of his often unnecessary nonsense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
