    I nominate Shylock for IHCs

    Keets and Carl W for Jeffs.

    Are we breaking each denomination down by series?

    "Are we breaking each denomination down by series?"

    Yes. This would help me, and others, when we have specific questions about certain series.

    I'm an expert in reading. When i want to know something, i go to my library and look it up. I have quite a few books.

    Other than that, it is my opinion that i am an expert...in.....uh......well.......sorry. I can't honestly say i'm an expert in anything. My incredibly
    humble nature prevents me from claiming that i'm in expert in anything. Actually, i'm an expert in humility. That's about it. An expert humble.

    (Having said that, i'm fairly knowledgable in toned coins, espeicially Morgans, Franklins and other series. I also know a wee bit about
    Peace Dollars, Commemoratives, SLQs, type, early gold, and uh......currency.)

    Hey Stork! Welcome to the forum.

    By the way, have you ever dropped any of those babies?

    (Would you admit it if you had?)

    Just curious.

    Oh, and maybe your name should be Yogi.

    (I thought the actual delivery is being now done by FedEx.)

    Have you seen a picture of twodogs? Make sure you're sitting down.

    to your passenger window and you drop your lit cigarette into your lap, your eyes pop out of your head, you white knuckle the steering wheel and
    scream as you step the gas to the floor.

    If I'm an expert in anything then we're all in trouble. I know a little bit
    about obsolete clad quarters. I've seen most other clad coins and am
    less often surprised by them than I used to be.

  • When I was 20 I was expert in everything. Everything was clear and I knew the answer. Now I'm not so sure about anything image

    As to coins I know more about proof Jefferson Nickels than any other series...

    Speaking of being 20, then I was a Expert Rice Paddy Walker and Canal Jumper. Now no special talents have surfaced. Just a guy that knows alittle but not a whole bunch about anything.

    Best shot at coins would be Merc Dimes.

    Adrian,

    You may be an expert on humility, but you're obviously a photography neophyte. EVERYONE knows that the camera adds 10 pounds of "Mean" to someone's portrait. I actually look like an older, grayer Brad Pitt in person.
