<p>[QUOTE="whopper64, post: 7644676, member: 101364"]#10 has seemed to be the most emphatic of all CT members' pet peeves. Fun Factoid: I had an argument on line with an e-Bay seller who insisted on using "double-die" for a coin that was an obvious machine doubling. When I questioned him, he "doubled down" and questioned my knowledge on coin collecting while touting his own membership in several numismatic organizations. Needless to say, I was horrified that this individual claimed coin collecting knowledge and membership in several respected organizations as an excuse to still call the coin a "double-die". He then went on to state that "everyone" calls it "double-die" and I needed to learn my facts. When I mentioned CT, he brushed me off and stated that no one in the know pays attention to those self-described experts. Nuff said. I then told him that he was a disgrace to the numismatic world and go sell on Etsy and publish on You-Tube. Haven't heard from him since![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
