I really think a failure @ CoinTalk (and others) is the lack of pinned threads. 

-A NEWBY FAQ thread, with recommended resources, sellers, etc and other aids to help new people who may be interested in our hobby. 

-Preferred buyers thread... share some positive feedback from sellers that have treated you well. 

-Fake Sellers thread... yes many count on Forvm's list .. include that link but share new info.

I am sure there may be other topics but on CoinTalk we repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat the same answers to new collectors..

Why not make it easier for them? Without new collectors our hobby dies on the vine.

PLEASE ALLOW PINNED THREADS

Admin to choose of course.. but take care of new people!

Make this site an open forum to share our experience with everyone - not just the clique.... GROW, GROW, GROW

Don't navel gaze like other sites.

Photo from 2 years ago is above.... Photo from today (my photo is terrible but I think you get the idea) is below..

What are your thoughts? Did the hard green encrustations on the reverse - which I was confident were stable 2 years ago, spread bronze disease?

Is this even bronze disease? Does not seem powdery at all. Just sort of a "wash" over a lot of the coin. I have it sitting in distilled water at the moment.

I am thinking this coin may have been saved from bronze disease in the past and it's just made a comeback. 

Any comments are appreciated. Will keep it soaking...

In my youth we spent a few Summers far away from the mid- Atlantic area.. up to the Great White North a small town on Lake Huron called Grand Bend... so Canada has always been a very special place... great memories....are never forgotten. 

I live about a 45 minute drive to Grand Bend... wonderful summer memories and still a fun place to visit.

My coins are all well circulated.

Great coins.. I do love these coins. I will upgrade someday!
