Struck Through Grease?

@Ordinary Fool

This from your profile:

"The moderation here has prejudicial bias and is largely responsible for the forum being lost.
I enjoy watching patently useless pictures posted, with no shortage of people that should know better, automatically chiming in AS IF they, or anyone, can tell anything from useless pictures to then "assist" with authoritative and 'matter of fact" opinions.
This, when somebody should instead be trying to help people with their sub-par coin photography."

I only agree with one thing you wrote: "the forum being lost." IMHO, it has nothing to do with the majority of posted images or the moderation.

Anyway, I suggest you PM SuperDave. He enjoys photography as much as you seem to. Perhaps both of you together can probably post some suggestions for the OP on how to improve his images so everyone can see what a few of us already do.
Best Regards.

Dear Ordinary Fool,

Of course you know me. You were banned last Friday from Collectors Universe after several long-time members (not me) complained about your abuse/stalking and for doing exactly what you are starting here - posting nonsense.

Hopefully, you will do better over here so you can hang around and learn something from posters trying to help all of us learn to be better numismatists. BTW. Mr. Weinberg is one of the best (if not the best) error dealers in the country. Go back and read what he posted about the coin.
Good Luck

Lets stop here. You do not have to respect each other or anyone, but keep it to yourself. If you can't see enough to make a 'decent' suggestion as to the question. Then do not attempt to answer it. OF, you tell others they can't see, inferring their answer is incorrect...but you offer NO explanations yourself, just infer they are somehow blind to the real answer you know...so explain your point or move on. We each have the equipment within our means. I am typing this on my lunch break on a laptop, and it is plenty for me to agree with Insider ( maybe a surprise to him) and others. There is no need to bait individuals, and if I see it continue, I will consider it trolling and act accordingly. This has nothing to do with your action on any other forum, just this one. You have a chance to belong and contribute, read only or move on. The rest of you do not escalate! Jim

 

In the closet

See post 11 and the request is quite reasonable in response to what has actually been offered.

I am not inferring anyone is wrong other than I am expressly stating the quality of the picture in no form or fashion is remotely attached to viewing a coin in hand through quality 10X, 7X, 5X or 3X optics.

I think you're over-reacting, patently misreading and for some reason, not considering what is right before your eyes.

Here is an iphone jpg snapped through 7X optics. It bears zero resemblance to the picture presented which one could only at best guess.

 

Hope you can manage to keep your lunch down!

 

Sir, my response stands. Heed it.

 

Insider, Lunch is over, back to lab, but will follow occasionally. If I can eat lunch with cadaver waiting for me, this forum is no problem

 

YUCK! I thought you owned a rock & mineral store.

 

Thanks for everyone's advice. Looks like lamination is the winner!
Second one for the collection.

 

Fun coin. Nice find.

 

Thanks. It's fun to find real errors. The collection is slowly growing.
