    Since I don’t collect varieties or errors I don’t open threads related to those. I miss legitimate posts of course but I miss many more spurious posts.

    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. :o

    I have discovered a previously unknown variety.

    Unique error

    Is this a double die?

    Default icons scare me often.

    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.

    ****Show me your gold! ****

    I never click on threads where the OP either provides no information and is using his title as click bait, or commands me to show him something without including the word "Please"

    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.
