[QUOTE="tobiask, post: 1984483, member: 72028"]A professional to me is a person with a lot of specific knowledge over a broad but precise subject, such as details of provincial roman coinage or varieties of such coins in general. It is a very broad term. English is my second language (German first) so to me someone who speaks english and has good knowledge and terminology over Roman coins is a professional. There is also nobody here in the Southern US I know who has any knowledge about these coins, so any knowledge to me feels very precise and much. I have just finished reading threads with collectors metal detecting along Hadrians Wall..very interesting. I am sure it is a great feeling to be the first one to dig up a coin after all this time.
