<p>[QUOTE="Jason Hoffpauir, post: 3015790, member: 67527"]I am in disbelief on the amount of chaos this simple post has caused. Oh well, as for me Q. David Bowers has had an enormous and profound impact on Numismatics. He has been doing this since the 1950's when he was a teenager running a coin both at coin shows throughout the country. Not too long ago, I wrote directly to him and ask his personal help on posting a coin giveaway and needed some moderate to hard questions to ask the forum members. Guess what he did? He sent me his personal word document of questions that he has been collecting since the 1970's. I printed the word document out and it came out to be 86 pages (12 font.) of every numismatic question known under the sun with the ANSWERS to boot. It was a tremendous help and I used many of his questions (and gave him credit the credit he deserved) during my coin giveaway. I learned that posting a coin giveaway is not as easy it sounds. It is a lot of work. I had a lot of help from Doug (GDJMSP) and it would not have been a success without him. Q. David Bowers discussed what type of questions to post and we exchanged about 5 e-mails together with suggestions. I thanked him for his help and he told me that even if it takes him a long time he tries to answer each and every email or message sent to him by fellow numismatics. So as for me he showed me that he was willing to help even little ole' me. It was a great experience and I think I have bought every book he has every written. Well that's all from me folks. Enjoy what remains of your day.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>** Oh I forgot to tell everyone that if anyone needs me to send them this word document that has the questions and answers from Q. David Bowers please just PM your e-mail and I will be happy to send them to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Peace[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
