<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 284131, member: 4367&quot;]I posted a thread similar to this one on another forum and was amazed at some of the comments.&nbsp; Let&#039;s see what happens here... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////</p><p>(scenario) A fellow who is a member of a speciality (let&#039;s say IHCs) coin forum has a new &#039;so-so&#039; 1864-L which appears to be in VF-35 or so condition, but looks different from others like it.&nbsp; The coin actually was found in a jar full of old Lincoln and Indian Head Cents which belonged to his late grandmother.&nbsp; Proudly, the new owner begins a thread asking for other member&#039;s opinions on the coin.&nbsp; Many IHCs like it have been discussed and the coin owner simply wants to proudly show off their latest acquisition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing now to do but wait for others to take a look, right? The only problem is the normally chatty forum members have clammed up. The thread begins to sink and eventually can only be seen on the 2nd page. What should have been a very long/interesting thread only gets a couple of (nice coin) responses.&nbsp; What is the problem, while the thread starter might have been new to the forum they appeared to be liked by the regular members, hmmm...</p><p><br /></p><p>Then the first private e-mail arrives asking if the holder of the coin would like to part with it for a little cash, then the 2nd, the 3rd... What is the deal, nobody&#039;s saying anything.&nbsp; Then an anonymous PM arrives explaining that the coin is an R-7 coin and a never before seen sub variety. This information came from a layman poster and there are experts, even authors about the coin series who frequent the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you do now???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
