Message:: [QUOTE="Blue Lue Boyle, post: 2233403, member: 75509"]Look, sir.  I respect numismatics, it's a deep body of knowledge, but to be honest, coin collecting is just a hobby for me, something I casually do for fun.  If I come across a cool coin, I may snap a photo and share it to engage some discussion or look for insight because, well, there's a lot of room for debate in the field. Having said that, I don't really have any emotion invested in the field, so I'm not trying to engage what seems like an argument.  I could be wrong, I guess.  I don't know, Is that what you're doing?  Feeling emotional on a coin website and arguing instead of having a civil discussion? For what it's worth, I was six years old when an older family member bequested the coins to me.  The ones in slabs I kept very good care of, but the one-cent coins like the one above, I just kept in a jar.  The 1967 Canada Centennial penny is not a jewel, in my opinion, I have over 2,500 of them, but THIS one in the photos stood out.  In Canada they were exceedingly commonplace and still kind of are to this very day. As far as arguing with you, I see nothing to gain from it, you can call it a victory for yourself if that's what you need to get through your day, peace, champ.[/QUOTE]
