Any "error" find from someone with less than 100 posts
“Recent parking find … MAJOR ERROR!!!”
“New doubled die (anything) I discovered with my coin scope.”
“Hot new quality investment coins from the U.S. Mint! Climb aboard!”

"The Hidden Benefits of Second-Hand Mustard"
"Owners and former owners of the 1794 SP66 Silver Dollar check in here"
Careful, now! Despite that requirement, you could still end up viewing threads where there are more than 100 posts by individual posters who discovered the errors.

There was a thread this week with a new member about inherited coins - a thread I wouldn't normally click on.
However, the OP posted a Proof Liberty $2.5 and a Proof Indian $5. Quite the reward for clicking on that thread.

In the Seated Liberty Half Dime series, several of us are finding undocumented die pairs and die states all the time... even common ones. I can show you a few I've found, if you like.

It's not the title so much as the OP's avatar pic. Whenever I see the default smiley faces, I assume it's going to be damaged pocket change. I help out when I can but it does get tiring...

"Post a coin with an eagle on it". Feel free to substitute virtually any noun for "eagle" - train, cat, flower, mountain, star, what have you. Still not clicking on it.
Not being a thematic collector, looking at a whole bunch of pictures of disparate coins linked only by theme does not interest me.

That is it in a nutshell, those are always avoided, as well as threads that re-hash for the umpteenth time someone's complaint about something. It is too easy to complain and this world has more than enough of that.
