[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 3035570, member: 87737"]My issue (it's probably about time I responded in here) is not with people that want to know if they've struck it rich, or if they've found something that has potential for a new variety, or similar. What drove me to start this thread was a response to the countless number of new threads, by hit-n-run posters, asking (insisting in many cases) if their Zincoln with plating issues is a rarity they can now retire on. How many threads are there about Zincolns on this board, and in almost every one of them, there is a mention of plating issues. And in regards to the search function, in most cases, there are enough Zincoln threads that all they have to do is look through the first page or two and READ, and then be realistic about what they have in their hand. Sure, when we all started, we thought we had the end-all coin, and that there was going to be a parade for us because of the amazing coin we found. Difference is, many of us were able to see through the daydream of coin infamy, and took the time (all of what, 10 minutes?) to research about what we thought we were seeing, and take a realistic view of the coin. That's all I (and I guess others) are hoping for, that if people think they've just found a coin worth thousands, it shouldn't be too much trouble to ask them to do a little bit of work (research) in return for their new-found fortune, before screaming to the world and looking like a dang fool. ;)[/QUOTE]
