Hip2myskip New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/20/2023 11:46 pm upon closer examination - yes it seems you are correct. lol. now that I have established myself as a total idiot, I think I will move on. Well at least I figured out how to navigate the site. I do have more interesting things to post about though. I was pretty sure I had the wheats down . Live and learn I guess. and thank you so much for not ridiculing me. or laughing your butt off. now if I could just figure out how to totally delete that whole topic... LOL Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25086 Posts	Posted 09/21/2023 01:19 am Hip, there is a learning curve to numismatics, and none of us knows everything in the field. We all make mistakes upon occasion. Stick around, and you'll see posts that are worthy of ridicule and laughing. In those cases, they get what they deserve.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/21/2023 06:07 am @hip, best practice is to only start one thread per coin, so I have merged your two threads. This helps folks keep track of the conversation. Don't stress though—we are all here to learn.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 09/21/2023 10:08 am I totally agree with Hondo, there is an endless amount of knowledge to be learned about coins . I have made mistakes but I learn from them and continue on. To shame someone who is learning only shows they they are the one who is ignorant in life experiences. You will not find them on this site.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 09/21/2023 11:43 am When people value knowledge above pride, the only dumb question is the one not asked. Humanity gets in the way of everyone's thinking every once in awhile, so we all ask what we think are dumb questions. But if someone in the future has the same question you did, uses the search function, and finds your thread, then you have scored one for helping someone else.
