About Me
About Me:
I began collecting in 1971. A friend invited me to attend the Whittler Coin Club. Once there I met good people with interests in US and foreign coins, medals, and exnomia.
Along with my friend we sold coins at the Whittier Swap Meet, frequented coin shops, and bought and sold pieces for several years. I sold most of the my coins while in college, and restarted my interest in collecting in 2000. I no long own US coinage, and now focus on foreign items and medals.
