Been too much nonsense and irrelevant posts, and other than the research posts from RWB, there just seems to be too much worthless junk to wade through. I'm sure Ricky Rooster can step right up and provide accurate info to the new collectors who really want to learn (at least the few of them that aren't trolls or alt users).  I'm sure his posts will continue to be as useful as always.  Best of luck to you all

I have a theory on the proliferation of of Class IX doubling from the single squeeze process
Could the mint be treating it as process variability and not a process nonconformance? Maybe it's a similar scenario to machine (strike) doubling where the loose dies continue to strikecouns until the tech has time to make an adjustment (if you've worked on a manufacturing floor, you know exactly what I'm talking about).  If it's not considered a nonconformance, they don't usually stop the production line while waiting for someone to make the adjustment.  Downtime = lost production = lost revenue
Maybe there's some validity in my idea, or maybe I'm out in left field picking daisies.  I just thought I'd throw it out there for others to think about
BTW: @GBrad congrats on the discovery piece

Instead of coin dealer, maybe a better term would be Coin Salesman/Salesperson.  That might be more in line with the knowledge level of some of these people.

Here's my Fugio.  Part of my "Redbook colonial type set" (significant colonial types listed in the redbook).  

You can also feel confident of an answer if there is a consensus of opinion.  There are enough truly knowledgeable collectors and experts on this site (and the other forums I frequent), that any incorrect info will be called out and corrected. 

There are a lot of things you can do if you're 6'8"
Sorry, but I'm hijacking the thread for some pics of Jr hoopster.

So you're just going to bounce in, make an inflammatory statement, provide no substantiation, and then refuse to support your statement when called out.  I guess that's all we need to know about the credibility of your comments.  Thanks.

If we knew that, we wouldn't be hanging around coin chat boards answering questions.
If you've read through this thread, you'll notice one common response from many long time collectors. It's very difficult to make money collecting coins.  We collect coins because we like the challenge of putting together date sets, or we love the history, or we like the way certain coins look.  But coins as an investment?  I have a 401k plus individual stocks and mutual funds.  Coins are my loss leader

I am also confused.  Do you believe the OPs coin is a true doubled die and is close to MS-67 as the OP claims?  What characteristics of true doubling do you see?  What is your opinion of the numerous small tick marks on the obverse?  Are these acceptable for MS-67?
The members are just trying to save the OP $65+ in grading fees, but it seems he already had his mind made up.  
Will be interested in your explanation

I really dislike when people give "cute" names to minor errors.  I see this on ebay where sellers try to hype minor, non value added errors so new collectors might think they're special and pay a premium.  Sorry, just one of my "hot buttons". 

Larry has built up a lot of credibility on this site as well as others over the years.  His answers are accurate, he helps answer questions from new collectors, and has demonstrated his numismatic knowledge over and over again.  @tj96, I'm not so sure.  Its a darn shame that someone is chasing away @ldhair 
If it wasn't for the research posts by rwb, I doubt I would be here much either.  Maybe its also time to bail on this site.  I'm sure QA and TJ96 can pick up on providing new collectors with accurate information.  
 

No. Your insulting posts to me and others needs to end.
There is no reason to insult and harass those that have a different opinion.  
This site was founded on members being able to give honest opinions.
It's not about starting fights to beat the heck out of someone you don't agree with.

Great.  Now we lost the opinions of a very knowledgeable and experienced dealer, former grader, and numismatic insider, but we will still get feedback (some of it occasionally relevant) from a guy talking to his rooster.  Great tradeoff. Wonderful [sarcasm].
