Hello, my name is Jerry and I'm a "jack of all trades and a master of none". I know a little about most things, quite a bit about many things, and a whole lot about nothing. Some of the areas where I have managed to know quite a bit about include:
Astronomy Motorcycles Golf Machining Physic Equities Kids Optics Wine How things work Coins Nascar Women
The last one comes with the caveat that you never know when your understanding may be discounted by the whims of an individual. I read the intro to Walter Breen's early Large Cents book today. His interests/expertise extened well beyond coins into areas such as classical languages, economics, sexology, and baroque and medieval music. He is described by one of his close friends as the only true Renaissance man he ever knew.
Hi Forumites. I'm Lee and I know I'm a toner Freak and I don't mind paying for the right coins. Not much else really matters in my little coin world. Enjoy yourself, the hobby, and your coins.
I know how to tie my shoes, ride a bike, and chew with my mouth closed. I know about real-time software development and high performance 2D medical image processing. I know how I'm going to barbecue Christmas dinner. I know how to play horn (see avatar). I know my wife thought I was ridiculous when I said, "Oh, yeah, the Olympics were there in '52" when they sent Amazing Race teams to the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki. I know a little about VAMs. I know I should probably be doing something else right now.
i know enough to tell Jerry that admiring or aspiring to be like Walter Breen may not be the wisest thing you could choose to do. >>
No kidding!!!
I'm AuldFartte and I know a little about a lot, and a lot about very little, but I do know that I have an intense love of Large Cents, and an equally intense dislike of annoying arrogant little weenies such as "lovers of gold coins" and "ones who thing they are real"
i know enough to tell Jerry that admiring or aspiring to be like Walter Breen may not be the wisest thing you could choose to do. >>
I know enough about Walter Breen to second that. In all sincerity, Walter sure was a true Renaissance Man, with an overshadowing dark side that ruined him and his legacy.
I'm Rich Uhrich and I was a collector for a long time before I became a full-time dealer in January 2006. I deal in copper, nickel, and silver U. S. coins from 1792 to date, with an emphasis on the 18th and 19th century ones. I talk to a lot of people, look at a lot of coins, and read a lot to gain knowledge. I know a reasonable amount about most of the aforementioned coin series, although I will readily admit that I am not the most knowledgeable forum member on any particular series. I also have a sense of humor that shows up in many threads, that has been described as wry, cynical, unusual, and punny. An example (from a Tom Noe thread) is shown below:
<< <i>If we would know what Noe knows and know what Noe doesn't know, we would know whether they were too harsh on Noe, but maybe they were too harsh on Noe because they didn't know what Noe knew when they knew that money was missing, but they didn't know that Noe's records wouldn't allow us to know what Noe knew about where all of the money was, and know that Noe knew that the records were so messed up that no one would know where the money was.
Now after that last sentence, I know you're going to say "That's easy for you to say", but no, it isn't. >>

I look more intellectual with reading glasses on. I have 20/20 vision if we consider hind sight and besides TwoSides2aCoin, there is the edge or rim. Here is a picture of a reeded edge : ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
<< <i>hold a degree in astrophysics and a masters in nuclear engineering, but i don't know squat >>
squat usually involves grunting, but I'm sure you could teach me a thing or two. I have some friends in Canada that work in that nuclear stuff They have "GLOWING" personalities
<< <i>hold a degree in astrophysics and a masters in nuclear engineering, but i don't know squat >>
There's a certain coffee shop on the edge of a big park I like to go to from time to time. Anyways, about everytime I go there to get a cup of the bestest coffee in the world, a frumpy old gent always tries to hit me up for change. Among his barely coherent ramblings he often states he has degrees in astrophysics and nuclear engineering. Are you him, derrybe?
If you are him, I'll at least say you know how to get a free cup of the greatest coffee. Don't be so down on yourself - it's almost Christmas.
I'm old enough to realize that much of what I took the time to know will go to waste and someone at some other time will have to relearn it if they care about such things.

I never know exactly what is going to happen in the future.
I rarely know more than a handful of important phone numbers.
I occassionally know when to keep my mouth shut.
I usually know a good deal when I see one.
I always know my wife knows a lot more than me.
I am often wrong, but always certain.

I know about real-time software development and high performance 2D medical image processing.

It's far more important to know where to look when you need to know something......
