Message:: [QUOTE="Fallguy, post: 2920475, member: 84739"]Lord, no apologies needed; rather it is I who must proffer the apologies to you, and to the OP, JBerk732. For regardless of what my eyes saw, my brain only reacted to seeing 3 digits, and as I had only been focusing on this issue in regards to the latter, I wrongly assumed that the statement came from the OP and so, responded as such. My concern was that there seemed to be disappointment; that the towel was being thrown in. Therefore, I read, "Ok it's nothing, I guess I'll just move on.", and responded accordingly. My attempt was to be encouraging not disparaging; to say, "Look, it wasn't much, but you did recognize that something was different with this coin; you were intrigued enough to seek out advice, and in fact, you were right in that it was a Mint Error. So even if it wasn't of a type you thought it might be, and even if it is considered "minor", you were on the right track and from that you have learned. Not only learned, but you will be able to use that when you come across your next suspect coin." My intentions were honorable; my aim inaccurate, and; my execution questionable. I guess it's as they say, "The Road to Perdition is paved with good intentions." Sorry. Semper Fidelis[/QUOTE]
