That's why the fun disappears. As long as there is no peer pressure, then we can and will have a lot of fun. Errers and Varietys.

When we let our hobby be driven by other's ideas, then where is the fun? Earle42, that is so true! If we are finding that our hobby, however we define and understand it, is not fun anymore, we should drop it and find something that IS fun, or focus on the parts that ARE fun. Unlike eating, numismatics is not required to live. I see nothing wrong if someone needs a 100x microscope to pursue their hobby. There are plenty of people whose hobby is microscopy or telescopy and who find great satisfaction in it. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/11/2017 6:24 pm From my short time of study and searching for errors, I have found about 45x is really al the magnification needed to identify most hub doubling( DDO / DDR/RPM). Any more than that picks up the normal surface distortions on all stamped/pressed metals. Those tiny creavases, bumbs, all change dependent upon light source and direction, you can see whatever you imagine it to be. SDM, PM me or turn your emails on, I finally at least have a working copy of the first two chapters, covers doubled dies and mechanical damages. Same for any other newbie who wants help understanding the differences! Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 09/11/2017 10:31 pm @Crazyb0 Great thing to make available - I am sure there will be a lot of people who benefit. A few years back when re-entering the hobby it would have been nice to have a comprehensive book in hand to learn all the things that had changed since the early 80s when a lot of my collecting went by the wayside.

That's why the fun disappears. As long as there is no peer pressure, then we can and will have a lot of fun. When I made the comment about peer pressure I thought about adding something, but did not. So I will now. I was going to say add to the end of the post: This from a guy who named his dog Kitty, his cat puppy, and collects antique glass things from the tops of telephone poles. I now live in a more "proper" area and you should see the look on peoples' faces when I call my dog..."Here Kitty, Kitty." Life needs to be full of laughter and fun - these are two important items that are preyed upon by peer pressure. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
