Yes the "Dan Rather" of coin reporting came to the forum and attempted to carve out a chunk with no factual evidence. He didn't need any forged documents. He had a pre-determined agenda and he was determined to take a bite out of the hide of a couple of reputable, knowledgeable collectors. Don't be concerned he had never held the coins in question. Don't let it concern you that he had never personally inspected either of the 2 coins. Why should we expect him to personally inspect the coin, prior to making an assessment? He had a pre-determined assessment and he rushed to press with a story lacking facts.
So you create a thread complaining about some collectors having a debate, and then get irritated that people comment in the thread? You do realize that people tend to write messages in threads that are on a message board??
My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
What do you expect? We are all a bunch of coin geek weenies who spend thier weekend on a coin forum and on ebay looking for more coins. Some people have nothing else better to do.
If a thread bothers you, you can choose to ignore it or you can interupt the thread with info about cool coins.
Edit: I just noticed the date at the beginning this thread. Silly me, I thought someone was recently whining.

Every day, people leave the Forum because they are dissapointed. However, more
people are joining the Forum then are leaving the Forum. How does that compute?
