truman1404 Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 4:44 pm I understand what Mitchell is saying. I'm pretty sure we all do, but this is free collectors forum, there will always be responses that sound like they start with the implied, "Hey idiot......." or "I can't believe you didn't know....." but as far as forums go this one is as nice as it gets. I'm not sure you could name another forum that with nicer members. I hate reading posts where you know someone thinks they found a valuable coin and they learn is only worth face value. But the most important thing is they learn. That being said it would be nice to see someone get encouragement when they learn their coin isn't what they thought it was. One time I told COOP to lie to me, if the coin I posted was MD. Coin collectors are all a bit whimsical and its great to add that, to this type of stuff every once in a while.

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 4:52 pm When I see a new member for their first post show a coin from an estate sale, or Grandpa's stash from 90 years ago and it contains modern Chinese counterfeits, I tend to curb my natural instincts to call them out for either trolling or looking to scam someone. If it happened on Facebook, I'd be a lot ruder. Report this Post to the Staff
scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 5:21 pm I have to agree with uruman to a degree (I am not sure it is just with the younger generation). Being told you're wrong or a coin isn't what you think does not need to be softened up or made to be politically correct. Apparently I am one of those you are talking about because I did roll my eyes and sigh when I read your post. Members with traits like you describe would be dealt with my the moderators and other members here pretty quickly. Report this Post to the Staff

I disagree completely! Not once have I seen or felt any response being remotely close to this nature! Edited by Chase007 06/14/2017 10:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
truman1404 Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 06/14/2017 11:38 am Chase- maybe the way I put it was a bit rough, here is a link to a post with an example of what I meant........ It's not rude or mean but due to the short nature it could be taken as abrupt. The main point of my post was to say that people on this forum are great and more helpful than any other forum I have ever been a part of. The first post I made here, I think 6 or 8 people said welcome to CoinCommunity to me. http://goccf.com/t/290008 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2017 6:50 pm I find allowing the collector to see what I see, I sometimes take a lot of time to help see exactly what I see. That way when they find another coin like that, they will know what it is. Also it trains others to answer when I'm not here. I love it when I see other teachers using my images and able to explain what I saw. It helps to know rather than be told a yes or no answer. (no explanation as what to look for provided) All will learn here from the coverage of what we see on their coin. Report this Post to the Staff
