It takes some guts to admit a mistake.

I'm such a newbie that I feel like what I have to learn is endless -- and apparently I'm right. With this hobby we never stop learning.

I agree with amida17 -- just copy what you wrote here and PM him. Then you'll know you've done your best.

Thanks for posting this. It was like a breath of fresh air after all the months of debates and name-calling on the news.

It's a good thing to apologize after you've been proven wrong instead of just ignoring it or continuing to believe the proven fact.

Good for you

A standup move weerdsteev ...

BTW ... I've seen some of those meandering mintmarks on the 1921-S Buffs. My personal favorite is the 1916-D Buffalo with the D mintmark that's partially embedded in the C of CENTS.

Is he allowed to post on here, or is he just not interested?

Very good of you to apologize.

I am pretty sure I have responded to post where I have given the wrong answer .. I guess that is all part of our learning process. I also think it does cause a lot of bad feelings. Makes people not want to read or respond to your post .. to avoid getting bad information or confrontation.

I have also seen many times where forum experts have posted their opinion that a coin is fake .. when it turns out authentic.

IMO .. everyone will get a fact wrong and make a wrong post .. how you handled this one .. should be a example for all of us.
Rest in Peace

He was not banned - banned members now show "On Vacation" as their forum title - but has not logged onto the forum since the incident in question.

Don't make me out to be too much of a saint. The argument I was having with him initially had nothing to do with his 1921-S, and I'd probably do THAT part of it all over again. I was simply dead wrong when I brought his 21-S into the fray and implied it was a fake.
