like watching a skilled con-man working a mark.

idk about 'skilled' but found it telling that (forgot his name, the bonanno lawyer's kid) posted silly musings on the zodiac killer sometime prior. as not much audience there, turned to omegaman fictions. zodiac was aka omega in circles, some mixup with the watch or cryptography or whetev

In his last visit, didn't he promise us a movie was being released last summer about his alleged "Zodiac work"?

So then the person who asked people to be respectful is posting comments like "yawn" or suggesting in a sarcastic way that I am not a busy person. I am extremely busy, have a family, and a full-time job that puts me in high-stress situations and "jacks" my sleep schedule up. When I >DO< find time to come here, I am criticized. Many others have begun to now take a negative stance on this when my only request was to get some NEW photos with new zoom/quality technology that would help to solidify my research.

I was wrong to come to these forums and ask questions and so for that, I apologize to YOU all for wasting your time. I'll post this research elsewhere and delete this account. I am shocked by what I know to be a very welcoming and patient community to begin to act like this.

Bye!

hey speg, please forgive me and us our insensitive heavy feet. if you only knew how we await with palpitations your next post. please do not take this ats or, heaven's forbid, to ccf or ct. our kiddie table status vis-a-vis those icons would be further cemented. dug out an 1882 zodiac for your research. best could do on pics. trust that the learneds will also now proffer examples and heartfelt apologies. best knowledge is from experience. in this, as with else, had you 3 of these side by side, 2 of one, 1 of the other, your eye would soon be trained to spot the outlier, whether friend or fraud. obviously I submit this zodiac as fraud, and generally, 3 observations blatant:
1) mushy
2) no wire
and 3) mushy

counter to what you've coronaviruslike fake news heard/read, there is nothing special about the ''R', it insults zodiac to presume she would'nt've been able to recognize his own h1. andiwork without cheap cheat-cheats

good luck, hopefully, welcome back

The icon, featuring a giraffe eating popcorn, is better.

Actually it’s called a Gerenuk……a type of antelope! 😉

Any guestimates on the number of Omega MCMVII HR's and/or $3 coins ?

Unfortunately People will get ripped on them just like they do on fake raw $2.50 Indians.

The guy was treated pretty well here and certainly wasn't "attacked" in any sense.

Unless he has come out with information on his YT channel, well, it's been 4 years which is more than enough time to come up with something even if he does have a job, wife, family, etc.

I miss the OP and his passion.

If he hasn't done anything on his YT channel, he either was BS'ing or did his research and found the story lacking.

I think this is the video.

How to make a video with zero information.

The Omega is an R. Gilroy Roberts is the forger because he's the only person whose name starts with an R. He's working for the mob. The mob stole gold bars. They're worried that someone will recognize the bars. They don't have a torch to simply melt them. And they're not worried that the Feds will look into counterfeiting. The mob is trying to raise money for a charitable foundation.

Yeah. That all hangs together.

What utter rot!

I have studied many Omega counterfeits under a good microscope. Whatever the symbol is, it does not resemble Gilroy Roberts' monogram.

The Franklin Mint needed a well respected name to legitimize their operation. They threw enough money at him to make him retire and come work for them and create a lot of cool designs rather than wait around for the treasury to redesign another denomination. How old is the Roosevelt Dime design?

Also, a designer does not have the abilities to make planchets and strike coins. Most counterfeiting operations get busted because it takes many different people to handle the many different skills and the more people involved the more likely it is that one person will blab. Also, the Franklin Mint was making tons of money legitimately. Why would they risk losing everything by making counterfeits?

The Mafia story is plausible, but unproven. This story is laughable.

He included the mafia. He just dragged poor Gilbert Roberts into the conspiracy for the obvious reason that his Initial is an R and he created a charitable trust.

PS I hope other banned members reading this attempt to seek Heather's pardon because I miss 99% of them.

How did you do that?

I have some general questions for the Omega counterfeit coin experts. How does the metal content compare to mint specifications? Did the counterfeiters cheat on the gold content and if so, by how much? Does the Mexico 50 peso omega counterfeit gold coin have a hidden omega in the design and if so, where is it located? Thanks.

He should reincarnate as @Insider3

That is a great idea. Furthermore, I should like to thank Heather for allowing me to join again as a new member after breaking the rules in spite of being warned at least twice.

I also want to thank all the members who left nice comments about me during the time I was banned. An especially funny discussion was the one I posted asking who do you miss. Then I was gone also. For those of you who were glad I was banned, I'm back and plan to stay. I'll look forward to learning new things about coins from each of you.

THANKS AGAIN!

PS I hope other banned members reading this attempt to seek Heather's pardon because I miss 99% of them.

I, for one, am glad that you're back.

Never thought it would happen.
