[QUOTE="GoldCoinLover, post: 693181, member: 4336"]Physics-fan, glad to see you posting here more often. I actually asked this question about myself on the forum earlier...only one person really told me what they thought about my knowledge. I would have to agree with them, that I'm probably an 'intermediate'. I'm beginning to specialize I've decided in classic head quarter eagles have begun to study the die marriages in that series for a paticular year. I have a fairly good knowledge of counterfeit detection also (alteration isn't quite as good but I'm working on that) which I also choose to pursue the most. I've written a couple articles on the subject. I would be curious what you think my level is, physicsfan. I still don't understand exactly how coins are made, the in's and out's I mean everything. I'm beginning to learn better how to grade (My grading is terrible) and I read alot about die conditions, such as how semi prooflike and proof coins die flow lines aren't as visible as other types of die states. I found your post on luster very informative. I sent you a PM recently as well on the NGC forums, you may want to check that :)[/QUOTE]
