    Chuck is an experienced numismatist with a specialty in large cents and recently fractional currency.

    He is also an expert in antique golf clubs.

    I believe that he is an Ebay seller, so he could offer all sorts of numismatic material.
    PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows.
    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    Thanks, Julian. I noticed his items on Ebay and that was why I was asking.

    YES!

    Chuck owned and operated a coin shop on Murray Avenue in Squirrel Hill (Pittsburgh, PA) in the 1970's and early 1980's. I visited his shop regularly until I was about 13 years old. I bought several large cents and half cents from him, and one of these is in my Dansco 7070 type set. I occasionally see him at shows. He does not recognize me (I probably look different from when I was 12 image ), but he has not changed one bit.

    Though it's been a while, I've bought from him and been satisfied with the purchases.

    I even got some fbl rips , and he always delivered................

    Really! When I saw the name Chuck Furjanic I recognized it as a Pittsburgh name but for some reason I was thinking sports (but not golf, though). Was the guy a high school football coach or something? That was a period when I was not working on coins so I never went to his shop. And I could have easily taken the 61A bus right from Swissvale to Forbes and Murray.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I bought a few Indian Cents and the coins were great, no problems.

    I do not have any knowledge of Furjanic being involved in high school football. I do, however, remember the 61A. Before I could drive, I would generally take it, the 61C, or the 67H downtown from Squirrel Hill to visit two coin shops (to keep this coin-related): one was called Liberty Coins (I think) on Smithfield Street and the other was inside nearby Kaufmann's department story. I still have an intact complete set of circulated Frankies purchased for me by grandmother for my 13th birthday in a Whitman Classic holder at Kaufmann's. I am ashamed to tell you how much she paid for it. image

    I bought a bust half from him, the grade was right on, shipping was fast and the price was good.I would buy from him again.
