Coin Talk also banned me for no reason. I bought my first ancient coin at an auction last April. It had a small black spot, but it looked great otherwise. I wanted to know how to remove the spot and restore the coin. I couldn't find the answer online, so I joined Coin Talk to ask. I was polite and said I was new. Someone replied that the spot made the coin more genuine because it showed its age. I thanked them politely, but the next time I logged in, I was banned.
If I violated some rule by asking this as a new collector, then screw them. They should be more understanding of people who are not old collectors who complain about paying more than $80 for a mint coin like they did in the 60s.
As for the Coin Talk owner/moderator, he will get what he deserves. I hope he gets banned from a forum when he asks a question he doesn't know: like why his wife's boyfriend disrespects him. Stay away from Coin Talk.
