Hi folks,
I'm ready to tackle a project that I think can add a lot of value. Kind of like Dave (MastaHanky)'s location map.
I have often wondered about everyone's area of numismatic specialty. Sure, some are obvious from the threads, but I am sure others have spent many years in one area and moved on to another. To help us better understand our collective knowledge and to provide some added value, I am offering to build a directory of everyone's area of expertise. Here is my plan.
Reply to this thread with the following information:
o Member Name (Yes, I know it is at the left, but having it in here will make my life much easier with cut & paste)
o E-Mail address (If you want a copy of the file when I am done) - Please note if you DO NOT want me to publish it in the file. PM me if you do not want it in this thread
o Specialty area FOLLOWED BY experience rating in parentheses from 1 (low) to 5 (high). Don't be bashful admitting if you have years of knowledge.
Feel free to list more than 1 specialty area if you collect in multiple areas. I will create groupings and keep the file up to date. Too bad there is not a way to create a distribution list through the PM function or we could have topical user groups. Any ideas to make that happen are welcome.
OK - I hope I get a good response. I'll lead off...

The is a link at the bottom of the US Coin Form thread index page ( where the threads are listed) called members listing. It allows forum members to provide their interests. I didn't see your listing so I wondered if you had discovered it It is an easy way to retreive the type of information you are interested in.

I don't VAM though you'll have to call Gilbert.
Thanks for the info about the member listing, but it is lacking in a lot of ways. First, I would need to know who I am looking for. I am most interested in a reverse search based on the specialty. For example, I am working on acquiring for some 1849 gold dollars and am seeking advice. Since I am categorizing this is a spreadsheet, I could sort everyone who is involved in gold coins, and send e-mails for their opinions. Also, by creating standard categories, we can easily group folks. I also like getting a rough idea of everyone's professed level of expertise.
Since some folks responded that mrpaseo has already tackled this effort, I am going to synch up with him and see if we can work together on an updated directory. BUT I still think it is valuable for everyone to respond to this thread so we can consolidate the updated info. Thanks everyone!!!!
