    I was curious after this thread started and found my trail die attributions HERE. Nothing major.

          I thought about it last night and don't believe truth was the problem......it's who discovered the truth. I worked in an architectural office and ran into that a lot...I would point out a flaw and get told I wasn't an architect....then 3 months later they would make the same discovery and pat each other on the back

            Yup. The illuminati doesn't like to be challenged.

              Maybe someday the LCF will encourage Jason to update the S mintmark page to reflect my other discovery about MMS4.
              I won't hold my breath, though.

                They are the best, I'm sure if you let them know about it, something will happen

                  Thought this thread could use some wavy steps. So here are some random ones I had available to quickly photograph.

                    If you drink long enough, all steps are wavy.

                          Lolol. Took me a min. I kept thinking When did I write this? You got me Roger. Probably the funniest thing in a long time and I doubt anyone noticed. I was really confused. Was I drugged? Lol I should be able to like that comment, right? Lol

                          Btw, Nothing IS something. Lol

                            Good one, Roger! I was confused too because that was definitely not something Jason would write.

                              Sorry, that was one of the ones I actually got paid for, so there's no free link that I know of. It was in Coin World in July of 2017, I think. One of the weekly issues. I can find out when I get home.
                              Edit. July 17, 2017 coin world. Here is the trailer, lol. https://www.coinworld.com/news/preci...inside-cw.html

                                Have you ever tried to write with crayons on the walls with a straitjacket on? Give me some props, bro.
