A fellow forum member and I exchanged messages, which led to his contacting PCGS in order to ask if Roger could be reinstated. And the answer was yes. I hope that forum member will post to this thread and accept deserved credit for his efforts. I also hope that @RogerB will choose to participate.

I know one person who it probably wasn't 😈
Happy to hear @RogerB is back, it's a pleasure to read his research. I look forward to more people being able to engage with it here than over at the CAC forums.

In order to avoid confusion, Roger’s reinstated account is @RogerB.

RWB will be a most welcome addition to the forum.
He will bring a treasure trove full of advanced numismatics doctrine.
Thanks for posting the good news, @MFeld.
edited to add: If he chooses to post here.😉
When I participated in the NGC forums regularly years ago, RWB was a positive contributor, IMO. I'm glad he's been reinstated here.
RWB is an asset to the hobby. I do hope he comes back to post.
Edited to correct. Now we just need to get him logged on!

I emailed him to let him know and sent a link to this thread, as well.

Welcome back!
This is very positive news.

Can I ask who @RogerB is? I think I know, but for privacy I don't want to publicize his last name. Is he an author to many numismatic books? Either way, great to have a member back, sounds like he has a lot to contribute to the forum from what members are stating.
Yes
Look forward to seeing him post

Roger strikes me as someone who doesn't play word games or considers the sensitivities of others when writing his truth. I don't know why he was banned but I doubt he will change his style to remain in good standing. It may be best he stays away and continues his posts on other forums.

As it is well known, and he is a published author, I feel I can reveal it. It is Roger W. Burdette (formerly RWB here and currently RWB on the NGC Forums).
This is one of his many books:
Thanks for letting me know, I did meet him at a show and had him sign one of his books for me, along with QDB, many moons ago.
Welcome back...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Welcome back Roger B. Thankfully, we'll learn much from you if you will only return.
We chat often. When I mentioned that he had been reinstated, he said that he was having his car worked on today.
thats cool. i got his book "from mine to mint" book. it be nice to see him again
Since I’ve been given permission to post this, the forum member who took the initiative to try to get Roger reinstated (and succeeded) is @USSID18.

He sounds excited to be back.
He is hilarious.
If Roger chooses to participate in the Forums that will be very welcomed by me.
He will be back , sharing his wealth of knowledge
Great to have him back!
oof, hey you seem to be in the minority, looks like most are really looking forward to his posts, here.
I hope he copies and pastes a bunch of his articles that he's had on cac forum and NGC forums.
RWB has an intense personality is my observation. I've never met him in person but totally understand how an intense poster like Burdette can encounter difficult individuals in this forum. Banned for life, however, should be reserved for the most egregious violators of forum rules.
Seriously. He had an appointment to take his car in today.
Both can be true.
RWB is an incredible numismatist and I enjoy every educational post he makes. He is an enormous net positive to the hobby. I am happy he will be back.
...at the same time, he can be incredibly abrasive and I've seen some really vile things he has posted (which is entertaining in its own way but not really acceptable).

Roger has been participating in VAMWorld on a fairly regular basis for the past several years and enjoys interacting with people that pick up on some of the findings from NARA boxes he finds.

+1 here, too.
Plus, Roger bought a Piedfort designed Omaha Coin Cub medal from me after Mitch Ernst ( Coinhuskers) called 16 years ago to say there were some limited ANA sponsored tokens leftover. So I purchased a few. Thanks RWB for your purchase of one. ‘twas one of 53 struck in an ounce of silver, celebrating Omaha Coin Club’s 75th Anniversary in ‘09. The half ounce silver and copper ones were also limited. .
The good ol’ days……
were still like fifty years before then , I suspect.
Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody and be perfect !
I have missed Roger and his commentary. Hard to believe he has been away since 2019.

I bet those people were being harsche.
Some can't keep it simple 🫤
Always enjoyed reading and conversing with Roger on the other forum
and glad that he has been reinstated. He tells it like it is but is no worse
than some members that I have read on this forum.
Welcome back Roger
Roger is just logical and doesn't back down. There are a number of posters here with an identical mentality. There is nothing wrong with it, although I'm biased because I am also a very direct person.
Yaay! Welcome back Roger. Look forward to your posts. Own several of your books. Always nice editions to my library.
Thanks PCGS for showing reasonability.

@pcgs_social or @PCGS_Moderator,
Forum member @RogerB, whom you were kind enough to reinstate recently, is unable to log in. Could one of you please email him with instructions?
If, for some reason, you don't already have his email address, I’d be happy to provide it.
Or, if you’d prefer for him to initiate contact, please feel free to message me with the email address he should use.
Many thanks.
