Amanda in the YN division (and also putting many of the rest of us to shame).

Aegis3 · July 27, 2006 1:10PM

CaptHenway, Pistareen, and denga (if he's who I think he is, and even possibly if not), in no particular order.

Yeah, who IS the mysterious denga? I have an as yet unproven theory but need to investigate further.

Ain't me, that's for sure.

Too close to say w/ certainty...would have to call it a tie between Perro (Charis, eleos, kai eireenee para Theou) and GoldCoinLover (aka GCL).

Thanks, AceK! That's a really nice thing to say.

But seateddime, I must disagree with you. My thoughts on coin collecting are far different from Laura's. I guess that makes me a wannabe loser.

As for my comment on this thread, I don't know. There are a lot of very smart people here. It's tough to choose just one.

How do you know that?

HighRelief · July 27, 2006 2:15PM

Coinguy1 seems to know the answers to the many questions that come up in this forum.

Coxe knows his Vams and should a write book.

RYK knows his early gold like no one else.

Laura from Legend can get more feedback on her threads than anyone else can.

Russ knows his Kennedys

Knowledge is money when playing the coin game and it is a fun game to play.

Because I don't believe in calling coins "widgets" or "generic" because, to me, each coin is a unique relic of our history with its own story. Coins, from the humblest Lincoln Cent to the spectacular 1794 dollar, all deserve our respect as messengers from the past. Each coin has a history and needs to be cherished as such.

Not sure what Larry Shepherd's forum handle is or whether or not he frequents the forum, but there is nobody that has more knowledge on Commems and specifically toned Commems than him.

Shamika · July 27, 2006 2:44PM

<< I suspect some of the most knowledgable are lurkers. >>

Or else they rarely post.

stman · July 27, 2006 2:51PM

For Bust halves..... Nysoto, Slumlord, OKBustchaser, in no particular order. I'm sure I missed someone but these three are a wealth of knowledge.
If you collect Draped or Turban halves..... when these three speak (type) you really should pay attention. If you don't, it's your loss.

nankraut · July 27, 2006 3:07PM

Coinguy1; Julian L. (although he doesn't post much here). But by far the best contributor is Russ, IMHO.

D · July 27, 2006 3:20PM

Julian Leidman
Capt Henway
ColonialCoinUnion
Pistareen
Mr. Eureka
Russ
coppercoins
Coinguy1
Dahlonega
RYK
Rittenhouse
TDN
Cardinal
Conder101
Cammy
Rick Kay

No particular order there, and I'm sure there's more.

Wow I would have to say just about everyone listed so far, maybe even the people listing them.

Great answer!!!!

I can't believe you guys forgot to mention Fred Weinberg who is one of the foremost experts on errors and varieties.

Trime · July 27, 2006 6:17PM

In the collector category. Michael's numismatic knowledge is hard to surpass.

Coindexter · July 27, 2006 9:11PM

Cladking consistantly busts out the most thorough and informative posts I've seen here. Unfortunately it seems that some people just gloss over them because a lot of the time they're about "modern crap." Well, I like "modern crap" just as much as classic crap and there's a lot to know about it.

No I don't think you are a wannable loser and everyone else will agree. - What your thoughts are not as important as that you have them, unique to you and based on knowledge you have and continue to obtain

How many other people caught that cobweb reverse other than you? Very unique talent you have.

fivecents · July 27, 2006 9:48PM

Legend, Justhavingfun, TDN, Monsterman and Homerunhall just to name a few.

StrikeOutXXX · July 27, 2006 10:01PM

<< This young lady REALLY impresses me. >>

Me too. So much so, that when she first showed up, I thought she was an Alt

I looked at where she stores her pictures, and found she posted with another name on these forums briefly, but what is scary is if you google that name (I'll let you do the research) she is just as knowledgeable as she is her with coins on numerous other forums and platforms. Anime, Metal Detecting, I forget what else, but there was plenty. I wish I had the time and broad range of interests as she did.

I'm not sure what the "Official" ages for being a YN is - but I don't even consider her in the same category as my own YNs or myself for that matter. Her knowledge and perspective is certainly beyond that of a 18 1/2 year old.

Keep up the good work Amanda!

morgannut2 · July 27, 2006 10:12PM

I can not find a post by "Amamda" Yn-tn, who is she and where ae her posts?----Date, post, subject?

If's she's Laura's little sister---of corase, then I REALLY impressed---

TwoSides2aCoin · July 27, 2006 10:25PM

Well, my math ain't so good, my eyes either. Sometimes I forget more than I think I'll ever learn. But I have to have confidence even if I'm confused. I have to pick me because I believe I know more than anyone.

Please send money !

Longacre · July 27, 2006 10:32PM

I agree with most of the list that people have posted previously. Everyone contributes in their own way.

Julian Leidman

Except she's wrong. She doesn't know what Laura's thoughts are on collecting. She doesn't know that Laura pushes me to start a cheap, fun set just for the sake of collecting. She doesn't know that Laura rants and raves to me about the ego involved in Registry Sets. She doesn't know that Laura prefers herself to collect worn coins.

She just fell into the trap of assuming that because Laura is bashed by some, she doesn't care.... but I guess knowledge comes with experience, so by all means be active and gain that experience.

Coin Finder · July 28, 2006 12:17AM

Laura does not show much self restraint when sharing her "thought" on anything I suspect. I agree with amanda.

Russ · July 28, 2006 2:08AM

<< She just fell into the trap of assuming that because Laura is bashed by some, she doesn't care.... >>

Either that, or she's read Laura's posts.

Russ, NCNE

MORGANHUNTER2 · July 28, 2006 2:19AM

Might want to consider Homerun Hall- considering he is fairly knowledgable to start a business and make it grow to what we as members here today consider his company's word to be the best.

and No David, I'm not kissin up to ya, I just have a little common sense from time to time.

there are many folks here that are very knowledgeable in their particular area of collecting, and this has been an excellent place to see that expertise at times.

Thank You - all.

now- who can I instigate in a peeing contest?
my bladder is full of coffee!
