<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 820003, member: 16510&quot;]Carl, I feel your age all to much esp. lately and you bring up a great point about interest ebbs and flows, sometimes really into it, sometimes not.&nbsp; This is a very real process that we all go through and new persons (those that think they will never lose interest) need to learn &quot;they will also&quot;.</p><p>I never worry anymore about calling myself an expert - you know when you know or maybe folks are afraid somehow to elevate themselfs to such a possition.&nbsp; On the other hand,&nbsp; An expert (in coins anyway) only has to believe him such regardless of what others may think.&nbsp; If he/she has read volumes, looked at hundreds of thousands of coins, buys and sells such and most importantly is called upon to render opinions and is respected in his community, he might as well say he&#039;s an expert.</p><p>To often in life people do stretch the truth about themself&#039;s,(or what they know) to gain a given advantage or simply brag and boost their ego.&nbsp; The other side of that coin is someone saying they are not (an expert) when they really may be.&nbsp; </p><p><b>&quot;To say you are when your not, is just as bad as saying your not when you are, because both lead one away from a truth and both support false pride&quot;!</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
