It actually goes to the fundamental issue you have, and that drives serious collectors nuts. 
Just because someone says something does not make it true
This is particularly true of random web pages and "error" coin resources. I have a website and I could easily say the actual correct spelling is Nikle. Would that make it true? Same with what some random person writes about a coin. This is a very basic concept that I really think could change your life. And make ours better because you would stop with the cr@p no one cares about other than you. 

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

So this lady arrived today, the final coin to complete my 1936 year set.     Sellers pics so not the best, will have to work on some better photos.
 
 

I haven't bought anything for a while, but a good deal came in on this one.

Morgan dollars have been studied and die marriages identified in minute detail. With the amount of scholarship that has been poured into this series over the last 50+ years, it's almost impossible that a major die variety was missed.  You may believe you see "something", but you really need to take an objective look at it.
Look at the following site and check all of the 1884-O and S mint reverses.  If " you'se gotsta know" this will tell you

Also, don't forget that you're getting responses from collectors and numismatic researchers with decades of experience.  These aren't people sitting at the end of the bar with questionable opinions, these are experienced numismatists.  You can bank on a consensus response.  Or you can keep arguing that you think you see something and alienate a knowledgeable group that could help you learn and grow in the hobby (one of whom has written numerous books on numismatics).  

Well darn it was the only one I could kind of make out. 
These posts get more and more confusing. Now we have other people posting random pics in the mix.

This photo was posted by another member not the op.

That may be because many of the coin forums are clogged with etsy garbage posted by far too many fortune hunters.

I recall your original post and can guarantee that it will come back as "damaged, plated" or something similar. You failed to do any research on the operation of XRF analysis, even after it was said that the X-Ray beam can penetrate up to 100 microns. Having worked with analytical data including XRF, for well over30 years, it was easy to conclude that your data was a result of the combined plating and underlying copper cent.  
So yes, you made a big mistake and needlessly spent money.  Chalk it up to the price of tuition 

One of the biggest challenges in trying to help people is to imagine ourselves not knowing all that we know. For example, the term TPG: The new numismatist (let's say NN) rarely knows that this means Third-Party Grading (service). Some of us are good at realizing that we're addressing an audience that doesn't know all that we know, and some follow the "I'm not going to spoon-feed you; you know how to Google, so keep up, homes" approach.
We can do better, and since I'm probably the only professional editor in this particular space--if not, I'm not seeing anyone else step up, so I might as well be--I can help by mentioning things like this. I'd encourage us all to remember our audience, what it doesn't know, and to take the few extra moments to dial the guidance down to their level. It might feel repetitive, such as when explaining TPGs for the twentieth time, but each new arrival lacks awareness of our fatigue. We will better serve them if we try our utmost to assume less knowledge and impart the maximum understanding.
It's always reasonable to refer NNs to explanatory articles, price guides, grading guides, and so on. We can't control their content, and it will often be worth examining. But when we're the guides, let's make sure we don't miss the basics. For example, when the NN asks what the coin is worth, that question has multiple valid answers. There's what a typical dealer might pay; there's what a private collector might pay; there's what the price guides say. Obviously dealers do not pay full retail. Most of us have seen that collectors tend to pay more than dealers. No one's going to give them full book. NNs need to understand this or they can't get a fair idea of which number applies to their circumstances.
This could help alleviate some needless confusion.

Congrats on your business Woods. I just checked your website out and you have some beauties. Hope you do great brother. I seen a couple I really like and trying to figure out which one I want. Lol. It will be an honor to give you my business my friend. 

Now that I am up and running a few months I wanted to entice my NGC friends into adding a new trusted dealer to their list . For the remainder of the month of April if you purchase a coin from me, you will receive an additional NGC slabbed coin for free. The freebies will range from state quarters in MS 67 to other modern coins in good grades. Just put a note in the order or PM me here and I will make sure it gets included in the shipment. I have added a lot of new inventory this week. Check out my website:

I haven’t taken decent photos of this one. Just threw it in my keep pile in the safe. I don’t see a lot of colorfully toned mercs. 
 

I am selling faster than I can replace with any quality, so if you have coins for sale let me know. I try and offer very fair prices, usually above the larger dealers. I only focus on US coinage, and predominately in older (not modern) coins in higher grades. If you have something let me know before you send to auction or go to a dealer. 

I think there is also--speaking of why coins get sent for grading that make no objective sense--an idea that slabbing is "doing it right." Let's look at the general public. One can divide them into a couple of broad groupings: those who just wing everything, tend to overbook themselves and be late, cut corners, and tend to use "lol" as a comma and period. They just always figure everything will be okay, don't sweat the details, "im not doin all that stuf f** that noize." If they have yards, they never run the weedwacker. I'm not saying it's bad to be that way; I'm saying if that describes someone, they should own it. This mentality dominates the world of contractors, which is why we pay so much for such slapdash work unless we monitor them and don't let them get away with it.
Then there's the fussy grouping, the one that wants things done right. This group is in earnest. They tend to obey the four-way stop laws. They read things that say tl;dr. They proofread their writing as best they can, and probably balance their checkbooks. When this group shows up in numismatics, they see that they have Found Their Home (and I'm not mocking that--it described me long ago). Coins are a hobby that absolutely sweats the small stuff, as anyone who has ever agonized over the prominence of a contact mark on Liberty's cheek can attest. This group wants to do it right, and to them, the natural assumption is that this means having the coins graded and encapsulated. And not by a JGS, but by one who matters. They aren't correct, but we should at least see why they thought that, and have the patience to explain why it doesn't make sense to spend $50 to slab a nice MS common date Linc.
Far as I'm concerned, the best argument is all the coins they could buy for the $50. At least, that's the one that would have my attention listening real closely.
