Creative eBay image

Just saw this in a series of coin photos on eBay.

Thought it was pretty creative for those selling on the bay.

Unfortunately my memory fails me, but about 10 years ago, it was common practice for one bullion dealer to have his attractive secretary to pose with a suitcase full of coins, bars etc. The secretary became a celebrity of some sort. Dang, what was the name of that dealer?????

Kenny Vilkin - Blue Moon Coins

What happened to Kenny? He was co-owner of Blue Moon with Aaron Michael Scott.

I looked up Kenny and there are a few profiles for him. Love the story about the 1922 Peace Dollar! I think it would be great to collect profiles of coin dealers for a numismatic encyclopedia.

Ken's introduction to coin collecting started when he was about ten years old and riding his bike up to Whilshire Boulevard to take his 1922 US Peace dollar to the Superior Stamp and Coin. Ken recalls, “It was about 1971. I remember walking into this shop with sweaty business guys on both sides of the counter. They were evaluating literally piles of coins for an upcoming auction. I saw them deep in discussion, into their craft.”

One of them turned to the young kid. Ken took the coin from his pocket. The coin dealer told Ken his 1922 Peace Dollar was worth six dollars and no more because the ‘Trust’ In ‘God we Trvst’ was spelled with a ‘v’, a known spelling derivative of the 1922 Peace Dollar. The dealer didn’t buy the coin, but from that moment, Ken began to understand the variations in coins and pricing. That day he was hooked, and today, that very coin remains in his collection.
