Ask questions about US coins on the US coin forum. Once a good answer is provided don't keep feeding the post. and it will eventually get lost in the shuffle.
Not going to happen......there are way too many Mr. Peabody's on here.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
Hmmmm. Interesting thread. I never visit the Q&A Forum. I guess I should poke around here more, as I now see there are over 20 specific forums!!! Wow, there's even a Sports Talk Forum. I'll probably never go there. Looks like this is the biggest/ most popular forum. I guess it irritates me too, when I open a post on a question with some photo of a coin that looks like it was picked up along the road and the question posed asks what kind of mint error this is. Then I read the replies and they usually include someone saying Post Mint Damage, don't bother grading, not worth anything. I often wonder if they are really serious or just trolling. This forum has not only the questions and answers for newbies and trolls, but coin stories, cool giveaways, colorful characters, jokes, photos, and pretty much everything you could think of dealing with coins...even disputes and arguments!!!! I wonder if anyone on the Q&A Forum gets upset when someone posts something other than a question.

@Aspie_Rocco - this thread was not a "misfire" at all. It was good to hear everyone's opinions.
And it was a much more pleasant and civil debate without the disagree button as an option!
Welcome DiggerJim.
Thank you @DiggerJim for your sincere posts.

I'm glad that this subject has been so thoroughly discussed. Important to understand our ultimate value to the (coin) universe.
