<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3273009, member: 99642&quot;]If I may give you a small bit of advice : Please try to choose coins in better condition to search. When you search such poor condition coins under a magnifying glass or a microscope , you will always see <i>something</i> that looks like <i>something, </i>but it isn&#039;t anything. It&#039;s just Post Mint Damage (PMD) 99.99 % of the time.</p><p>When we search coins, especially coins in poor condition, our desire to find something often supersedes our logic and common sense and we start seeing things that aren&#039;t really there.Looking at your coin, there is hardly a sq. cm. or even a sq. mm. that doesn&#039;t have damage on it.</p><p>A coin in such bad condition, even if you found something like a die crack on it, would be almost worthless anyway simply because of the condition of the coin.</p><p>You would have to find something really significant, for the value of the find to overcome the poor condition of the coin.</p><p>Now David, I want you to understand that no one is trying to hurt your feelings or make fun of you. Everyone here wants to, and is, trying to help you.</p><p>Myself with my bluntness and honesty, and Paddy and schep with their knowledge and experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>With all that said, I want to Welcome you to Coin Talk, and I want you to keep searching coins, just better condition ones, and please keep posting on Coin Talk.</p><p>Just reading the different threads is an education in and of , itself.</p><p>Thanks David.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
