    I second Liefgolds "expertise" level. The Man knows these coins. Not in the coin field but I understand and teach wet plate photography and manufacture cameras if that era. I can offer some help with very early images.

    I'll second this for Tyler. I have bugged him a few times and he was more than helpful.

    Same here.

    But I do know the extent of my ignorance in circulating moderns (especially quarters).

    I also dabble in business strikes of the same dates when coins of exceptional eye appeal can be found.

    People can PM me, but this isn't a very tough area... and I'm not nearly as qualified as many of the other posters.

    Let's be honest, most numismatists are very well versed or if you prefer, expert, in one or maybe two areas.

    Those who list several different series most likely are of the type "jack of all trades, master of none"

    I have extensive experience with unsuccessful home renovations, and could tell you what not to do and, importantly, the sequence not to do it in.

    I've trained several terriers so that they only crap on our best and most expensive rugs.

    I have a technique to convince teenagers of the importance of doing homework, which they fully understand, totally buy into and then completely ignore.

    I'm a skilled chef, as evidenced by the fact that I once set my apartment on fire while making a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup.

    Also, I've have been a collector, researcher and then dealer in colonial and early American coins for most of my life, and I am happy to try to help anyone at anytime with any questions in this field.

  • I focus on Capped Bust coinage and it's literature, while I am certainly no expert by any means, I'd be happy to share what I know. I've also asked many questions myself, so if I don't know the answer, I'll probably be able to point you to someone who does.

    Although I've been a collector of FS and DCam Jeffersons for many years, there are several other
    forum members with as much if not more expertise then myself. I know who they are and they
    know who they are...so I'll let them chime in if they wish.

    And there is one expert of the Jefferson series ATS that may top all others. I can refer PMers to him.

    My numismatic interests have evolved from Standing Liberty Quarters, through small sized paper money, to Draped and Capped Bust type coins, but really only have enough knowledge/experience with them to be dangerous, so others here would be a much better resource for relevant info.

    I am fairly knowledgeable regarding growing various types of roses, especially OGR's ("Old Garden Roses") if anyone has questions about those and have done quite a bit of Bible study over the years, especially the New Testament, and would be open to fielding a few of those questions.
    I never thought that growing old would happen so fast.

    I've been collecting Buffalo nickels for nearly 60 years so I feel comfortable with that series. And also doubled (and tripled and quadrupled and even quintupled) dies, which I've been heavily involved with for more than 30 years.

    Feel free to contact me on these things. I will answer to the best of my ability.

  • seanqseanq Posts: 8,733 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Error coins in general, clipped planchets in particular. I know a little about die varieties too, though I am more of a generalist than many others here.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I might know a little about bust die marriages.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
