[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 3661557, member: 59677"]It's not that we're sticklers we're trying to make it easier to help you. People show up post a dozen out of focus pictures misaligned with their toes and nether regions in the background... 90% of the image area has nothing to do with the coin question. Potato photos as in it might as well be a potato. they post a title but doesn't explain anything about what they think they're seeing. And then they argue with us when we tell them it's not an error. Some of the people answering your questions have 30 years of experience as collectors. Some of them are the top error dealers in the world. Graciously and generously giving their time to examine road rash pocket change some fool thinks is a valueabv error based on a really bad YouTube video. I'm not saying this is you but I'm giving you context with why we asked for some of the things we ask for. AA coupl of full obverse and reverse pictures of the coin plus details of the feature under consideration, in focus and most of the image being the relevant part just makes it easier to help you. people post a shout out at 3 in the morning to one of the error dealers and then when they haven't gotten an answer by 10 a.m. they ask why don't you respond ... Well, they have a life and a business and the ROI on answering questions is pretty small. many people have this entire section on ignore because the signal-to-noise ratio is so poor. one of the best features of cointalk is that you can put a large number of people on ignore... It really helps Anyway hopefully that that answers the question that you didn't ask.[/QUOTE]
