<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 582874, member: 16060&quot;]Right now visitors outnumber signed in members approximately 3 to 1. Granted some of the visitors are members viewing that don&#039;t have the time or desire to sign in, but I would say that is definitely the minority.&nbsp; This is directed mostly to those non-members visiting Coin Talk.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to discuss here today one of many times being a member has helped me in my hobby and this particular scenario ended today.&nbsp; Back in January I started a collection of Lincoln Memorial Cents. I looked and looked at pictures trying to figure how do you tell a &#039;70-s small date from a large date.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t be sure so I asked the question on Coin Talk.</p><p><br /></p><p>I ended up being referred to a site that explained it point by point and had magnified pictures to enhance the explainations.&nbsp; I am very sorry I&#039;m unable to thank that person by name here, but it was great.&nbsp; I also got a few private messages trying to assist me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I watched them for a few months at various places on the internet always thinking they were too pricey, not good enough for my set, or poor quality pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the places I was also looking was Arizona Jack&#039;s coin site MESACOINS, he never had one. So I sent him a Private Message asking him about it, he returned my message stating he didn&#039;t, but would be glad to get one at a show in Michigan he was going to.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thanked him, told him that would be great, and explained my expectations. He went to the show, got me a coin, and notified me of the price.&nbsp; When I was sitting at the table writing out the check I told my wife I was a little worried about this one.&nbsp; She asked me why and I told her all the ones I had seen before around this price weren&#039;t worth having.&nbsp; She asked me if the seller is from Coin Talk.&nbsp; I said yes and she said she was sure it would be just fine.&nbsp; She&nbsp; has never read anything on Coin Talk except for the photo threads of Orlando and the Coin Talk &quot;commercial&quot; on Youtube, but she has heard me showing and teaching my son about Coin Talk and coins using this site.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway the coin arrived today. I could not be happier with coin. Great coin for a great price.&nbsp; All the points shown on the site with the pictures are 100% accurate.&nbsp; I could bring up other times Coin Talk has been a big help, but like I stated earlier this is the most recent.&nbsp; Many thanks are in order here. Jack, I don&#039;t need to put you on the spot here or anything, but there is one more that I need.</p><p><br /></p><p>So visitors come on and join to obtain and provide help. Also you&#039;ll make some great friends here to boot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
