<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneycostingmemoney, post: 2697773, member: 86367&quot;][USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] i thank you again for your examples and input. You&#039;ve made your point with the modern lincolns and, I guess, because of my wording and limited experience with the lingo I am not really conveying mine properly. It&#039;s not hard to crack a fresh roll of pennies from the bank, sort the ones that are shiney and have no scratches or wear or defect of any type then start staring at them and my photograde app. If that began to boil your blood turn the knob down a bit because I&#039;m not done. What I just described is what I see is playing in your mind when you read my posts but it is far from where I&#039;m at. If I used the term modern I meant anything with lincolns head on it or jeffersons head on it. To me anything less than 100 years is new (I&#039;m a traditionalist) and I need to familiarize myself with what that means to coin heads before i start throwing words like that around. Again, as I consistently admitted throughout all posts and threads thus far, I am new to this hobby, know essentially nothing about it, am not envisioning myself swimming naked through benjamins and red lincolns in my living room, am willing to put forth time and effort to learn properly and become proficient at grading coins. I have a career and it pays well. I&#039;m not trying to support myself and my son by cracking rolls and looking for our next meal ticket. I do, however, tend to find ways to have a hobby help support itself. Not entirely but assist in some way or another (that&#039;s the entrepreneur in me lunging out). And who knows. Maybe one day you&#039;ll see me writing an article in a magazine and I&#039;ll add in there &quot;and if it wasn&#039;t for the collectors on CoinTalk sharing their knowledge and experiences when I started out I wouldn&#039;t be where I am now.&quot; I highly doubt that but hey, ya never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
