Have you added anything to the numismatic body of knowledge?

Discovery type stuff as opposed to (still valuable) passing along of known logic.

    I like to think so, but ultimately that's up to the users of that knowledge to determine.

    I would not want to presume . . . .

    But I think in the area of holders, Doilies, and slabbing history . . . . . . .

    Perhaps.

    IMHO, No one who has done what you seek is going to reply. Many here have added a few fingers. Others an entire arm.

    Yes, but sometimes it's a buzzkill. Telling someone that the circulated, folded * note with dog ears they have been saving for 20 years is not worth a whole lot more than face value...or the barely readable common date Buffalo nickel is not going to bring much on Ebay. :/

    I'm telling you, no one will post. HOWEVER, if you change the title of your discussion all the members will start to "out" the numismatists who have written the reference books we all use and the collectors who have discovered new varieties. That fellow who discovered the 1919 DDO 10c for example. That should count as a fingernail to the "body."

    No dishonor in boasting of one's accomplishments. My doctor has 24 diplomas on the wall. Can't do a tonsillectomy worth a damn though.

    No. I could never live up to the numismatic pillars we have here.

    They're like a High Relief Double Eagle and I'm just a zincoln cent that was run over in a parking lot multiple times.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Most of us have a good idea who the contributor's are, they post often in their area of expertise and keep this place what it is.

    but me, hell no, I am just a sponge. lol

    I believe so but I really can't speak for myself. One BIG doubled die discovery, tho.

    Yes, and quite a lot for at least one specific and important area of U.S. numismatic research. But like most research I have also piggybacked-off other earlier researchers and expanded greatly on their research.

    I'd love to eventually finish a catalogue of engraved 1964 proof WQ reverses and die pairs. There's all sorts of fun stuff going on with them.

    The only thing in my way is disposable project income. It will come. I hope at the beginning of next year (at the latest) to have something substantial collected, and the knowledge to distribute worthwhile and accurate information.
