Just thought you all would appreciate this post I came across on the coin collecting reddit. I didn't know about this coin until now! It looks to be a genuine example and a very good grade. Hope they get it graded and all goes well with it!

Interesting quote from the OP there:
“ My family doesn't DARE even argue with me due to my lack of mental stability and love of necessary violence”
Yikes, these come with "DANGER DANGER" signs all over them.
Well, just Love coins, period.
What's with the busted up slab it's in? 🤔
Looks like a genuine Wire Rim 1907.
Hard to tell grade, but 63 seems roughly correct.
What are those signs? The coin looks genuine and of approximately MS63 quality to me.

The signs are the venue, with all due respect. I will leave it at that...

If a new member made the same post here, instead, would you feel the same way?

Yes, I would. You go to Reddit if you like, I will pass on that and if you don't know, you don't know.
Well, just Love coins, period.
If you’d feel the same way if a new member made the same post here, instead of on Reddit, logically, that should mean that the “DANGER DANGER” signs aren’t due to the venue.
Regardless, the poster isn’t trying to sell the coin and it appears to be genuine so I don’t understand your concerns.

No, logically the coin was posted as coming from a Redtii source so you are wrong, with all due respect. And why would you ASSUME the worst in that I was speaking about our hosts?
I don't understand your own logic failure when the source of the coin is being questioned since this is a chat room, there are numerous readers on these Boards whose experience and background is varied. I am happy is this coin was obtained by the seller in an appropriate and legal manner and for the buyer that appears to have ended up with a windfall.
I guess you missed my point then: that is a dangerous and risky source for getting coins as many have been duped, even robbed, etc. as a result of pursuing coins and other items on THAT VENUE.
Well, just Love coins, period.
Because of your view of “THAT VENUE” I asked whether, if the same post had been posted here by a new member, whether you’d feel the same way (about “DANGER DANGER”). And you said “Yes, I would.” It sounds like you misunderstood my question. In case so, I apologize for the confusion and will try to be more clear. Pretend that there had never been such a post on Reddit or anywhere else. If a new member here posted about such a coin with those pictures and story, would you have had the same concerns as if it had been posted on Reddit? If your answer is “no”, then your concern was about the Reddit site. But if your answer is “yes”, your concern was probably about a valuable ungraded coin posted by an unknown poster. That’s all I was trying to determine.
And for the record, I didn’t assume anything about what you were saying about our hosts.
