[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3660129, member: 19250"]And I agree 100% and please understand this....as us old farts aren't trying to say our way is correct.....but in 1963 there were no TPGs. You went to shops, coin club meetings, shows, you took guidance from your elders who like many of us here only want to share the knowlege we have managed to retain over the years. True this hobby has evolved but like everything else in life sometimes for the better,sometimes not! I am no expert even in the field I've worked in for 53 years....yes I know alot have all sorts of awards, etc...in my field but in life one needs to learn daily....be it any subject matter. I'm sure most of us seniors here would be so happy to try and share all we seen not only in nummistics but life in general. Everyone here are human......the jury is still out on Doug...lol....so we are subject to mistakes and making them....is that a bad thing....I think not.....as thought out life I can assure you I have learned more from my mistakes than triphumps. That's the reason I'm so smart..... mistakes have made more than my share....and everyone a life lesson learned....yup school of hard knocks....my almata . ;)[/QUOTE]
