I wrote him/her back and explained what OMM means along with the recommendation to pick up a cherrypickers guide, but thanked them for their concern about protecting the coin community.

LOL! Let us know what his response is. Funny how some people try to call you out on things, when THEY don't bother to read the details!

That's funny, but still better than the emails I get sometimes. " I have a old penny my granddad gave me. What do you think its worth?"...

My response is usually, "just about what he paid for it."
