Debate is healthy. That's how we learn. At the same time, I will choose my words more carefully. My post were too much to the point and obviously insulting to Chance. I'm sorry for that. I didn't join here to insult anyone.

With that said, I'll still be posting on threads on this topic. I really want for someone to actually find something new. That would be at the top on my cool list. Debate and passion for the hobby make this type of stuff happen.

I thank you for that. Maybe I'm getting to be too thin skinned. I know precious little about the process, and while that's probably not the best position to be in approaching something like this phenomena ... maybe it's not such a bad place to be. If you've never been "in the box" ... it's easy to think "outside the box". The words, "as I understand it" ... are ones that you won't catch me writing beyond this post.

I have a lot to learn for sure ... but I'm enjoying the time I spend looking at these things as well. I don't look for coins and then enlarge them until they have problems ... I am looking at coins and enlarging them "because of what I see in the "thumbnail pic" which is normally smaller than it appears "in hand".

A theory on the original coin posted is die grease. Could explain both the weak devices and strange toning.

I think it is important to remain constructive here.

Criticism and the exploration of alternatives is what drives our hobby to find and solve new mysteries. However, an abrasive or short approach might illustrate one as closed-minded and inconsiderate of another's assertions. It works both ways.

I'm glad to see the two of you making up, lol.
