About Me 

I'm a Life Long Numismatist!

I started Collecting Coins with my Grandfather in the early 1970's and became a "Life Member" of the American Numismatic Association (A.N.A.) in 1988.  

My Passion and Primary Focus is, and Always has been, on U.S. Coins & Bullion (with a Minor in: Medals, Tokens & Currency)!

I have attended the A.N.A. World's Fair of Money 11 Times... 

('86, '91, ''99, '07, '11, '13, '14, '15, '19, '22, '24, So Far) 

At the 2013 Fair, I Was Presented with My 25 Year Recognition Pin & Medal.

I'm definitely Serious, Yet Fun Loving, within the Numismatic Arena!

Currently (as of 2025) I am Very Engaged and Involved in the Hobby!  And, I have been Enjoying the Amazing World of Numismatics More Than Ever!

Now I am...
