<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1905945, member: 26302&quot;]I will beat a dead horse one last time, (poor horse). I would say someone who pays attention to important books in his/her field and owns the ones important to them are numismatists. Anyone who considers books, (and by extension in depth knowledge), to be less important than coins to be a coin collector. Nothing wrong with being either, but I do believe there is a distinct difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one caveat I would make would be sometimes there ISN&#039;T a good book in a field. In that case the numismatist might simply be investigating the field himself, making notes himself, and these are the people who WRITE the books that others read. I might say Paul, (Lehigh) or Morgandude in regards to toned coins might be in this category.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
