Hi all,

I recently purchased a coin on eBay that came in this flip. I did some googling and couldn't find any dealers with this name. Not sure what the vintage is of the flip itself -- it does not look particularly old, but it definitely as that old library smell to it.

    The envelope is 1963 or late

    All glory is fleeting.

    He advertised in popular mechanics as far back as 1951.

    I did some sleuthing and it looks like he also published price guides for his buying, this is from 1964: link

    The other side of the flip says that the dealer was in operation for "a half a century". I guess we may never know exactly when this flip is from!

    I recognize the name but have never done business with him.
