I'd be glad help you, I have a vast knowledge in US and ancient coins... as well as Germany coins. And I have taught others in the past the same way my Grandpa taught me a long time ago. But my my coin shop is up in Red Bluff... a little higher than you, so I can only help you via this website. I'd be happy to help if you're interested; you can learn everything about US coins in about two days. Memorize the varieties in about a week. Ancient coins are a bit tougher...Those took me a year just to get a grasp on Ancient Rome.

 

I'm sure you don't believe that.

 

You know it's true. I learned denominations, metal, history, and high priced examples on my first day. The other stuff will come if youre passionate for numismatics.

 

This reminds me of something I read recently.

 

Well, that explains some of your previous responses to new collectors questions

 

I lived in Sac. years ago. You should buy a Red Book and read it through, then ask questions here.

Honestly I'm a bit rusty.. I'll tell you that. Thats no excuse: sure I've been wrong in the past about small things but my goal in the end is merely to be an effective member of Numismatics.

 

So, you're 19 years old, are an expert on US, German and ancient coins, and received a numismatic education long ago. In addition, you own a coin shop in Red Bluff. Have I got it all correct? Cal

 

Try attending some meetings of the Sacramento Valley Coin Club. Their website is sacvalcc.org . Great bunch of folks. Cal

 

Not an expert...Don't put words in my mouth. And I inherited the coin shop from my Grandfather who died in 2004. The store is currently being run by a trusted manager until I finish college and take over the business.
I did, however, receive all my Grandfathers legibility and respect in the coin community. In fact, one of his long time partners just visited us and taught me a lot of what my Grandfather taught him. I feel as if I am a professional at buying and selling works of Numismatics, but an expert: that comes with age my friend. Thanks for sharing though.

And some more extra info; though you might not care:
-I have been collecting coins since I was eight
-When I was fourteen I started writing a book on Roman Coins
-I have self taught myself the aspects of business and am currently majoring in foundations of buisness
-I currently have made over $30,000 in the stock market (investing in NVIDIA, BYND, and CMG) which I wish wish use to enhance the shop
-I have been offered multiple jobs at coin shops and online stores (this is when I was almost 15) because of my knowledge in US coins
-I am friends with multiple dealers who trade, buy, and sell with my online store

Again, you probably don't care about my bragging: but I am pretty much a respectable Numismatist in my community considering my age.

 

I think it might just be an age thing, but you do come across as someone who's a legend in their own mind.

 

Tomaska is also a MIS-LEADING self-proclaimed coin expert...with about 45 yrs experience.

 

who's tomaska?

 

It's pretty easy to tell a member's numismatic knowledge by their posts. There is nothing wrong with being a novice and many experienced collectors would love to help you learn. HOWEVER, trying to portray yourself as an expert when all of your posts say otherwise will do nothing but alienate you from the group

Forums like this are a great resource for younger collectors. Choice is yours. Use it to learn or keep trying to pretend

 

I have to believe the 4th specimen has been found whooooo

 

Anyone that thinks they can learn everything in two days is dreaming. It can't be done in a lifetime.

 

No. Keep searching.

 

Okay thank you
