Question
Hi Mr. Fern,
You answered a question for me on Feb. 14th about a small D penny. Thank you for your answer. I'm getting several emails requesting a rating for your answer. I would love to leave positive feedback but cannot find where to do it. This is the only way to contact you as I haven't found a link to leave feedback on the web site and the email says do not reply to this email. Again, thank you for answering my question.
Hi Stan:
You are not the first to ask this question. Please answer both this and my prior replies. Go to the "Thank/rate the expert" button and click. You are allowed to rate four areas of the reply, and please notice the question about a "Nomination" for Expert of the Month. I would really appreciate your "Yes", which I hope you believe that I deserve. Thank you for asking. If you have any more questions, I'll try and accommodate you. Please recommend me to your friends that collect coins.
I only get about half of the people even to read my questions, let alone rate me. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes or more to research and answer each question, sometimes over an hour. Thanks again for the opportunity to help you with your numismatic questions.
