Coin talk member name drop.

This is an older article but it popped up in my news feed tonight. As I was reading through a very well known name of a member here was mentioned. His opinion and knowledge carry a lot of weight everywhere I've seen and we are blessed to have him as a member here.

I remember seeing this article as well but i do not remember where? But it is disturbing. What isn't China willing to do to earn a buck

 

wow Thank you! I enjoyed that VERY much. Learned alot.

 

@YankeeDime. Thank you very much for posting that. A good reminder of how widespread it is.

 

There was actually two members names in that article.

 

Yep, both Mike and Fred can be found in this forum.

 

Yeah, well, he's kind of new here. But FYI, @YankeeDime, Mike's one of the guys who started CONECA, and he's a longstanding member and contributor, here. So bless him, too, so his feelings don't get hurt.

 

Wow, that's impressive! We truly are blessed to have such highly regarded members in the coin community with us! The shear knowledge and experience of all the members hear to be able look at a coin and determine how, when and where a error, damage or intentional alteration occurred is amazing and invaluable to everyone looking for help. I have learned more in my short time hear than I have in years on my own. I am grateful to everyone hear and the knowledge they freely share.

 

Lol. But that's better, we'll let you stay.

 

SCARY!!!

 

Why was i edited? I mentioned i had seen this but could not remember where? ! dropped no names or references

 

If one could get them to do current dates then the mint would save money by letting them produce our coinage. I'm joking, of course.

 

So it was my remark about China?

 

@YankeeDime
Here I am with Fred Weinberg


Met him twice! Very nice guy!

I would like to one day meet Mike Diamond.

 

Okay thank you my bad.

 

to be honest it was Fred Wineberg in the late 60's that got me started on coin collecting. (and the great interest in Errors). Thanks for getting me hooked Fred!!! (joking).

 

Great idea. Bet their making w quarters too

 

you lucky Dawg!
