When they ask what's it worth. They are not coin collector's. Drives me crazy.

Enjoyed the post jmkendall! The Simon Kenton reference is a pretty well known name around here but probably not widely known like Daniel Boone.

On Facebook, it's a mixed bag. You get an equal number of vultures who proclaim that legit errors are post-mint damage, which is then followed up by absurdly cheap offers to buy... (this meme is courtesy of Jim MacKenzie).

Personally, I think it's a coming together of several trends and not for the best

* COVID-19 - I think we're all tired right now, shorter of temper, and less tolerant of the world in general

* Social media in general - I fully admit I'm a minimal user of Instagram, probably a borderline troll at times on Reddit, and a non-user of Facebook. What I have noticed is that almost all of the platforms have removed any ability to dislike something short of blocking the user. If your only quick choices are ignore or like, if you take the time to voice dislike it's usually more biting.

The faster pace of life in general. Easier to snap " PMD you idiot" than to explain.

The general dislike of being wrong, hurt feelings, and such discussed up thread.

There's been a heavy influx in the variety/error coin "searchers" because as social media progresses, more and more people will start watching the silly YouTube videos saying how rich they can become. This draws them in, and sends them here.

I've noticed that society, at least more modern society, specifically relating to those that spend a good amount of their time on social media, tend to be very naive. They tend to stick with their opinions, and have the mindset "if you disagree with me, you're wrong."

That's why there's more negative commenters in that section. They're being drawn in from social media, and they bring disdain and disrespect with them.
