About Me

About Me:
I've been collecting coins since the 70's. First got started when I was given a Morgan from my Grandmother. Then, the Bicentennial happened and the coins were amazing to me. Can't wait until 2026 to see what's next. My guess is that the mint has been working overtime trying all kinds of new processes and types to come up with something really worthwhile.
In Search Of:
Always looking for anything from 1853. Close to having a full Philadelphia mint year set.
Personal Collection:
Too numerous to fill in here. I collect far more than graded coins.
For Trade / For Sale:
Not much. Any extra goodies go to the Grandkids
Not For Trade / Not For Sale:

Hobbies Outside of the Hobby:
I also collect Paper money and I collect BSA memorabilia as well.
