  You are a specialist when you know more about a coin than the person selling it.

  When an individual's expertise and integrity is recognized and acknowledged over a period of time by his/her peers.

  You are a specialist if you concentrate your collecting or bsiness to a series or collecting niche. That doesn't mean you are necessarily knowldgeable though, even if you are a specialist.
