I was at an antique shop the other day and saw a Norman Rockwell print that was quite interesting.
The title was `The Collector` and shows and older gentleman seated at a table looking through a magnifing
glass at a coin with a younger (YN) guy looking attentively over the `old man`s` right shoulder.

Anyone else ever seen this Norman Rockwell painting? I might have to go back for that one.

I've been looking for one of those for years. How much was it?

I would like to have that one also. If you don't decide to buy it let me know where it's at. (I'm in the Houston area also)

I think it had about $90 on it. Less than $100.

I think I read it was a print from the mid sixties ?
estimated deminsions are 16 inches high by 38 inches wide? about.

I looked at several Norman Rockwell web sites and can't find that one listed anywhere.

The Collector, dedicated to The Franklin Mint Society.

Seems like no modern reproductions are currently being made of that one.
Thanks

I wonder what type of coin albums are displayed in the print, they are interesting with the two rows of coins on every page-------BigE

The collector

You'll have to weed through some other stuff. About 3 of 11 items are the print mentioned.
