panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 08/30/2013 10:19 am I agree with srs77. I see folks asking for help with attribution all the time. some folks do not have the knowledge or resources to do this. robbudo and downtownsf would not have offered input if they did not want to. if fact, if you read the original post srs77 was not asking for an attribution, he just asked about the placement of the date and if it was common. I understand where 1893S is coming from but this is also a learning site with a common interest where we enjoy sharing our knowledge and helping others by sharing it. this would be like not asking for grade assistance on this thread, same thing. if folks want to respond to the request for help and opinions, they will. there is even a special subcategory for variety and attribution. maybe the post belongs there, however, his prime question was regarding grade. keep the hobby alive folks...

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3163 Posts	Posted 08/30/2013 10:52 am nice post panzaldi. I also agree totally with srs77. 1893S likes to come on here and act all knowing. He berated guys like me who like to buy inexpensive coins to either keep or resell at a small profit. Acted like it was beneath his lofty collector standards. I would ignore his comments.

Thanks Jerry and Panzaldi. I appreciate your comments. I went back and looked at 1893s past remarks and he/she follows the same MO a lot. He is, in my books, officially ignored.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 08/30/2013 1:29 pm What 1893s said about books is correct. I'm down to just needing the Noyes books and John D. Wrights "The CENT Book. I've got all the rest, makes my copper library worth a lot more than the coins I have now. But in the future, I will purchase the varieties I really want and need instead of just randomly buying all sorts of stuff. The books are great values that will only help you in the long run. These later dates are sure hard to identify is what I'm learning, at least in any grade below EF. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 08/30/2013 1:57 pm Agreed. I used to be one of those who would buy coins haphazardly based upon condition alone. I am now more aware of the different varieties that are available for most "common" type coins. For the education that I have received here within the CCF, I am very thankful and wish to continue learning from those who provide their "breadth of experience".

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3163 Posts	Posted 08/30/2013 1:57 pm I think it boils down to how serious a collector you want to be. Not everyone wants to spend several hundred dollars on the books mentioned. Even if you have the books you have to have a very good eye for details to correctly attribute the coins. I see nothing wrong with asking for some help occasionaly on coins that you have a question on. Most of the time you will get excellent diagnosis and advice from people who know a lot more than you do about whatever type of coin you are asking about. Report this Post to the Staff
