People in numismatics on the hobby side tend to specialize and while they may not understand the intricacies of Morgan Dollars, they may be a HUGE authority on Matte Proof Lincolns.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)"><b>I agree 100%.</b>&nbsp; That&#039;s why I allowed people from different specialties (errors, ancients) to be included.&nbsp; Two from each specialty.&nbsp; That is also why I made sure that although <b>there are more than two</b> - perhaps twenty - on each form that may be considered informed and very helpful; to make my job easier, I only wished each poster to give their top two.&nbsp; So far I&#039;ve received two answers and a bunch of unnecessary <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span>.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Trying to separate people into groups of good or bad is almost impossible because few will meet the criteria to be knowledgeable on all fronts.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)"><b>I agree</b>, however, I have found several CT posters to be very knowledgeable in several specialties if not almost all numismatics. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">I am following them already and do not choose to &quot;tag&quot; them here.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I would also note that publicizing who you follow and who you do not, or tagging people as belonging to one group or the other is unproductive and although it can sound like quite a compliment to those on the A list, it can be insulting to the rest.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)"><b>I agree</b>.&nbsp; See my posts above in this thread.&nbsp; Furthermore, anyone who wishes to spend <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 51)">as much time as I have checking out posters</span> can easily separate the &quot;weeds&quot; from the rest and then the &quot;best from the rest.&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">I only wanted some more leads to those I may have missed...</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">EDIT:&nbsp; Answers are coming in while I posted this, thanks.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
