[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 4898402, member: 15309"]Since you like a challenge, how about you challenge yourself. Post the micrographs that you like so much for your guessing games but then also post a photo of the entire coin but do it in such a fashion that it doesn't spoil your guessing game. FWIW, the condescension and petulance that oozes from this thread is more the reason people have a problem with your posts, not the challenge. There is nothing unreasonable about people asking to have the same information that you have, which includes what type of coin we are looking at. If your fear is that the more experienced members will solve your quiz too easily, thereby ruining the surprise, and depriving you of your fantasy to become Professor Kingsfield, let me tell you this. I routinely post Jefferson Nickel GTG threads where the Full Step designation is crystal clear, yet there are almost always responders who get the designation wrong. You don't need to make the quizzes more difficult, even if someone does proffer the correct answer, others will not know that they have seen the correct answer, they will still make their own guess, and they will still end up learning in the end.[/QUOTE]
