I Think I Just Found A 1917 Lincoln Wheat Cent DDO

One problem is, it's a greasy thing, morally, to wield the ban-hammer simply because a misinformed member is spouting incorrect information. I'm not comfortable calling someone out on an attribution of a series I'm not competent with, and it would be even worse if a Moderator who was competent with the issue used his position of power to act against someone's opinion.

Either way, we damage our credibility. The best management is the least management, and sometimes there are issues which are better handled by peer interaction.

It must be noted that I'm speaking individually here, and not reflecting some monolithic consensus of the administrative staff (as if such a thing actually ever exists ). I'm not stating policy; I'm just speaking out to reinforce Chuck's point that speaking out is not the problem. Opinions are the fuel of lively conversation and the seed of the learning process, as long as the person offering that opinion qualifies it as such.

I will also go on record as saying that without question, The coin that was originally posted is the doubled die.

Although the coin is worn, the characteristics as outlined by Coppercoins are easy to pick out:-)

I am also going to say that I am glad that I was busy for the past few days:-)

Thanks,
Bill

The 9 and TRUST shows the doubling pretty good. Great find!
