<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2262554, member: 112&quot;]You nor me either one can &quot;prove&quot; anything Paddy since all we have to go on is pictures. I&#039;ve seen lots and lots of laminations, and I&#039;ve never seen one that looks like the OP&#039;s coin. But I have seen lots and lots of hammer jobs or squeeze jobs that look exactly like the OP&#039;s coin. As for the coin in your pic - that doesn&#039;t even come close to looking like letters, just crinkled metal that is common on laminations.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the OP, he has the coin in hand. And he&#039;s seen more than a few coins too, and he says they look like letters. So, his first hand opinion, coupled with what I see, is what drives my opinion of what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for me being a moderator, that has, and should not have, anything to do with it. People seem to think that just because somebody is a moderator on this coin forum that that indicates they are knowledgeable about coins. Moderators on CoinTalk are NOT chosen for or because of their knowledge about coins or numismatics.&nbsp; You could know just about nothing about coins and still be chosen as a moderator for CT. That&#039;s because they are chosen for their other qualities, not what they know, or don&#039;t know, about coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to talking about coins or being a coin enthusiast moderators are no different than any other member - they should only be given respect if and when they have earned it. Not because they are moderators.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
