    Not wrong, IkesT. Check out the #42023470 in the library and report back to us what you see there. Your anger issues I can't help you with but I can probably help you with navigation issues that you might have in the Truview library. You might find it to be a kind of scary place to you at first but after a time you will start to learn a lot and eventually figure out that Bert Harsche was a true pioneer in identifying 1909-S Lincoln cent obverse die varieties. If you have evidence of earlier (than 1964) published work on 1909-S Lincoln cent obverse die identification than Harsche's (first seen in his 3rd edition of "Detecting Altered Coins") let's see it.

    11/28 comment: I have to admit I was wrong about this one. I don't believe I'm wrong about Harsche being the first published work on 1909-S Lincoln cent obverses however. I have not found error in his work despite his photos being vastly inferior to the Truviews I've been working with.

    One thing I've never been afraid to do is admit when I've made an error. That's the spirit of scientific inquiry. When a mistake has been made, the scientist admits it and then moves on. That's how progress is made. Even Einstein made some mistakes.

    That you the expert on Seated dime varieties around here? Anger, bud. Try to lose it. It's not good for a body to carry around so much anger. ;)

    Thanksgiving 2125

    Well, at least you're not desecrating copyrighted iconic work like was done, I'm sorry to say, to that image of a famous Rockwell painting entitled "Freedom from Want." "Freedom from Want" is considered one of Rockwell's finest works. One of the notable and artistically challenging elements of the image is Rockwell's use of white-on-white: white plates sitting on a white tablecloth. Of the four paintings in the Four Freedoms, it is the one most often seen in art books with critical review and commentary. Although all were intended to promote patriotism in a time of war, Freedom from Want became a symbol of "family togetherness, peace, and plenty", according to Linda Rosenkrantz, who compares it to "a 'Hallmark' Christmas".

    We probably got enough Thanksgiving pictures here, desecrated or otherwise.

    The picture I posted of two wild turkeys is somewhat coin related when one considers the question I asked in conjunction with it. Ponder the question,

    "Would you be able to tell one turkey from the other on your next outing into the woods?"

    You're right, it's tough to tell them apart.

    It's not that tough for the trained eye to tell two turkeys apart. It does get a lot tougher to tell turkeys apart when you see three or more of them together in the wild, however. It's very much true that wild turkeys stick together, in keeping with the old adage, "birds of a feather flock together." The Wild Turkey is a magnificent bird, the largest North American gamebird. It's no wonder that Ben Franklin wanted to make The Wild Turkey our national bird.

    I try to learn something new every day and recommend that everyone who wakes up in the morning on the right side of the ground do, or at least try to do, the same. I learned today that The Wild Turkey is not our national bird but it is Arizona's state game bird. For years, many years, I would tell the joke: What is the only state that eats it's state bird? The correct answer is was South Dakota which, of course, has the Chinese Ringneck Pheasant as it's state bird. Pheasant hunting is big business in South Dakota. Now, with my new finding about The Wild Turkey being Arizona's state game bird, I'm feeling the need to modify my joke a bit. What are two states that eat their state bird? Arizona and South Dakota. :/ Not as funny anymore. I think I will stop telling the joke.

    Four male wild turkeys struttin' their stuff trying to impress one another...
