    You've been here a year and a half and have over 100 threads asking about junk pocket change. Coin collecting probably isn't the right hobby for you.

    This is what you need to look for.

    Another member explained to me that some posters utilize readers that do not have the capacity to send pics. The OP seems too gentle to harass. Just post a pic or two. It takes less than a minute to open, shoot screen, and post.

    Happened only once, but I caught an exact match of a coin at CCF, user ID "crater".

    Interesting. It says Queens. I was thinking another country.

    I like @emeraldATV. He posts quirky pics that are fun, especially if you can understand them. He's not constantly asking the forum for "help" like this person, which even then isn't necessarily bad, but after a year and a half of asking for "help" with zero interest to actually learn anything, it's hard to take someone seriously. Either they're just trolling, or coin collecting isn't the hobby for them.

    While I don't understand why someone would enjoy looking for things they cannot see, it is not my business to decide what someone else finds fun.

    It's not about deciding for someone else what's fun. It's about abusing the goodwill of the forum by asking the (essentially) same question over and over again while refusing to take personal responsibility for actually learning something and becoming a contributor. After a year and a half, and 150 threads asking for "help", I'm not inclined to think he's a serious person with a sincere desire to learn about coins.

    I believe they have vision issues.

    We also don't know how many thousands of coins they didn't need help with.

    Also, the OP isn't nasty or combative, so there's that.

    And I think once or twice they did have a real find.

    It is a damaged cent that has been smashed at the ear. It is not the doubled ear variety.

    They tried to help him learn on the other forum too. He's not having any of that nonsense.

  • JBKJBK Posts: 15,675 ✭✭✭✭✭

    As I recall from earlier threads, I think it's a "she", older, non-native English speaker, with bad eyesight.

    They seem to be doing the best they can, as far as I know.

    Not picking on you, truly. If you're a sincere person wanting to learn about the hobby, why don't you take advice and spend time studying resources like variety vista? People have given you lots of good resources to learn about the coins you're asking help with.

    @nooraden1
    I am sure or maybe just me why do you post your in your mind are errors etc?
    How many coins do you look at and since you “claim” to have eye problems why make it worse by looking at coins in detail. Is it because of the chance of $$ remote chance of it but who knows. People have been very kind and you should show more appreciation and respect to them instead of just saying thank you no followup question and on to next post of similar items.

    You dont seem to comprehend or accept all your coins have no extra value.

    Maybe she doesn't care about value.

    I can't believe your criticizing someone for gratefully accepting the assistance.

    I think it's a good old-fashioned pastime for her. It seems pretty harmless, and I personally prefer it to some of the new people with attitudes who show up with their parking lot finds.
