About Me
About Me:
                                I am a retired IBM Software Engineer with 40 years of writing software. For many years programming was both a job and a hobby but now I can spend as much leisure time as I want to fulfill my childhood desires of completing my US Coin collections. I have many hobbies but collecting US coins has been a passion of mine since I was 7 years old. Today my collections consists primarily of PCGS certified coins and sets purchased from the US Mint. Of all my hobbies coin collecting is my favorite.
