I'll start poking around, thank you. I repeat, i have zero knowledge of coins! I just find cool stuff every day. 

The second account. What if my wife joins? Whatever. My history there was flawless. I have a feeling they wanted me gone for a while now because i have nothing to offer other than my daily finds. I really was a zero contributor, but people had fun!

My wife said, if they're banning you for that, they don't deserve to see your finds. I almost agree. But i made some friends over there over the year, and i lost everything. Contact info, all that, was in my PM folder on the site. Now I'm banned. All gone. That kind of stinks. Oh well. 

Example of a daily find, you say? Sure! Why not! Right @Lem E?

1941S. Small S though. I've found 2 of the large S since i started. I find stuff like this, all the time. I only know about the varieties because of CT. 

Large S found today

Pretty good condition for a circulating 64

Nice little bit of toning. I've found quite a few '64s in circulation. One or two in very good shape.

Okay, I won't tell him.  

He's OK. He's not a fellow new yawka, but he's tri-state, so i give him a pass.

Morgan? 

Shhhh! I'm testing @SALV1966 to see if he knows anything! But let's keep that between you and me, please. Our little secret.

Hello all! I have this graded V nickel (ANACS61) and was wondering what you all see on this coin (Obverse side).  I believe it's a thin lamination error.  

 

Good morning @SALV1966, welcome to the boards. That sure is a lovely coin. Yours? Maybe some of the smarter people here can answer your question, i just wanted to welcome you and say that Morgan is lovely. Have a super Thursday!

I Have only had a few problems with a few members but as a 1 1/2 year member there ,have never been any warning about a ban towards me.  

Wow! A living legend! I can't wait to see what coins you're going to start posting. It's an honor to have you here, sir. May we all bask in your glow.

I found this coin the other day 

is it a "black" beauty, oh wise one? Although i hate the term. I think it's time we come up with something a little more progressive like, "ebony" beauty or, "nubian" beauty. Time for change!

Welcome!

Maybe they just gave you a short vacation. They won't talk about it but as a normal they should have gave you a reason and how long the vacation would be. You will have fun here. Lots of great members.

Nope. No consideration what so ever. Even for the ol' crowd favorite, CoinJockey73. I had a ton of contact info over there on PM, and i lost it all. Never thought i wouldn't be able to access my messages! It's their site and their right. Just stinks i lost everything. And i really miss the site.(Between you and me, and please don't share this with any other board members but, it's kind of dead over here, compared to over there. But please, that's just between you, and me.) But we'll make of it what we can. Very nice people, so far.

Welcome. Good to see you hear.

Yeah, thanks. I definitely recognize you! Stinks about over there. Doesn't look like I'll ever be welcome back. Oh well. I'll try not to stir things up over here, too much .

I never heard of that but then again I never heard of creating an account for that person.  But your response seems perfectly harmless and I don't know if maybe one of the Mods there who is a bit less "flexible" though you were doing it to attack the person and/or violate the No 2 Accounts rule.  

Since you weren't planning on using the account and since the reason for creating it was clear if not a bit off-beat, I would really think it might just be given a "Don't Do It Again" type warning.  Most of the Mods I have interacted with have been very reasonable and fair.  I don't know who you intereacted with but maybe if they get word of WHY you did that they might reconsider. 

I know that folks who had login problems a while back may have created new accounts merely to email them and the Mods were unaware of the login problems and just saw the 2nd Account thing and gave a ban and/or ignored it.

They must be sticklers for the No 2nd Account thing. 

It's their site, and they may do with it as they please. I'm behind that 100%. But i miss the site! It's an amazing time! No one there is the smartest guy in the room. We're all just a bunch of goofballs throwing coins at each other, lol. I'm just sad, that's all.  

But I'm making new friends here!

Very limited. 

Bad joke, as there was clearly nothing political about that other than the title. My own little brand of humor. Sorry!

To quote the POTUS, “c’mon maaan”.

I see politics are allowed over here. Good to know.

I think it was more your personality than your numismatic knowledge that people liked. You’re a fun dude and that is sometimes needed in this hobby. You had more of a CRH element over there and you were like a roll hunter on steroids with your daily finds. You probably found more silver in a week than most would find in a lifetime. I enjoyed your content over there and a lot of other people did too. It also gave us a chance to become friends. It is unfortunate what happened, but it is what it is. I hope you can find your place over here. May not quite be the same as over there, but I’m glad to see you over here. By the way, I think you know a little more about coins than you let on. 

You mean my "nothingburgers"?! Haha! I like that guy more and more, with every post! 

Thank you for the kind words, Lem. I'm glad i remembered i could hit you up here, and try to explain. I hear there's a #freeCoinJockey73 campaign going on, but I'm pretty sure, they're done with me over there. Sigh.

I believe that very attitude that was so much fun for me, and possibly a few others, over there, may not be met with the same humor, over here. Everyone is the smartest guy in the room, apparently. And we both know, that ain't me! 

Anyway. Glad to see you, my friend! I'll keep checking in. You do the same, please. Warmer weather is on the way!

My patience is not without limit, but it is considerable. All I expect in return is a desire to grow. 
You see, I am an unrepentant quality / condition snob. I’ve been at this for 59 years now. 

Thank you, gorgeous. I can see why a busted up circulation find does not quicken your pulse, lol.

This site, along with a constant steam of newbies, probably has a unique mix of regulars, many of whom are quite expert numismatists, and we beat up on each other quite a bit, too. Numismatists are used to being the smartest guy in any room. Imagine what happens when we hang out together. Don’t get me wrong - ALL are welcome, especially those who desire to grow in the hobby and move beyond circulation finds, which are the hobby’s beginner’s training ground, but only that. 

I'm the first to admit, I'm not the smartest guy in the room, even with only toddlers present. And I am 100% new to this. Started about a year ago, which is why my finds are still met with such childlike exuberance.

I hope you'll all be patient with me.

*edit

Just saw your Will Smith edit. Hilarious!

Where I fault CT on this is that they have all these ironclad rules, as is their right, but nowhere do they explain the rationale for those rules. Some are obvious, but others far less so. They come off as, and I use this phrase carefully, arbitrary and capricious. Which explains pretty much everything Doug does, says, or thinks. Look up that phrase online. It is the very DEFINITION of how Doug operates. 

While i agree NOW, my time there was quite amazing, and i owe it all to his site, and the members he allowed there. I have nothing but amazing experiences, other than my unceremonious banning. I won a few contests. Threw a few of my own. I sent out over a dozen W mint mark quarters to random members, just for the heck of it. Being with them was a truly cathartic experience that I'll always cherish. I'm crushed i can't get back over there. I've literally begged. I'm not lying. Anyway. I'm not butting heads with you, sir, i respect your status here. I'm respectful in general. Just chiming in.

Again, good sir, numismatically, this is yet another nothingburger. 

They really celebrate banality, over there! So if you found that today, in circulation, that's no big deal? That's amazing. I get an adrenaline rush with every nothingburger i find. I'm glad you're pointing this out. Saves me from starting a daily finds thread over here. I'm not a huge fan of wasting people's time, especially my own! 

Thank you!

Once Doug decides he doesn’t like you, you WILL be targeted for banning. It may take awhile, but it WILL happen.

I think this is exactly what happened to me.
