<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Babula, post: 26743840, member: 85976&quot;]You bring up good points. We&#039;re all a little bit of an expert, in our own way. Friends and family who know I&#039;m a coin collector might think I&#039;m an &quot;expert&quot; at all things coins. While I have some knowledge, and can certainly research things much more easily than they can, I would not consider myself to be an expert. But, they would certainly come to me with questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking more of &quot;are you an expert of an area within our community of numismatists&quot;? Would people within this community come to you specifically for advice about certain coins, tokens, paper currency, etc.? Have you, or can you, written articles/books about your specialty? If someone here on CoinTalk thought of, say, early US Copper, would they think, &quot;I need to send pics of this coin to Vess1 - he&#039;ll know more about this&quot;? That&#039;s the kind of thing I was shooting for.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do like your positivity, though! We ALL are &quot;experts&quot; in our own way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
