I was reading the Wikipedia pages for @DLHansen and Bob Simpson.
Both mention their interest in coins.
Both only mention the 1894-S Barber dime.
Is this the most notable coin both have owned?

Numismatics
Simpson is an avid coin collector, and has amassed a collection of rarities. In 2020, part of his collection was auctioned off, including an 1894-S dime (one of nine known to exist).

You can edit the pages if you'd like to improve them.
Just like I edited the page on the "most valuable coins" to update it a bit.
The Simpson page did not have a coin section until recently when the editor CoinGeek added it.
The Dell Loy Hansen page has been pretty much created and edited by one person - a guy in Seattle.
Sometimes content can be fairly random, although often it can be quite good.
I like the 94-s dime more for the story than the coin.
I know I can edit it, but I just found it interesting both pages only mention the 1894-S.
