A "Double Eagle" tip of the hat to SaintGuru, RWB, & Coinosaurus

Before I began to read Alison Frankel's book, I turned to the acknowledgments. In it. she thanks....

"Jay Brahin (our SaintGuru) who earned entry into the fraternity of Saint-Gaudens double eagle collectors with his keen eye and his self-diagnosed case of mild-compulsive disorder, taught me how the coin world really works. Without his friendship, I would never have understood the passion and drive of coin collectors."

"What an unexpected treat it was to run into Roger Burdette (our RWB) a tireless numismatic researcher, at the National Archives in College Park."

"Len Augsburger (Our Coinosaurus) is a whiz at ancestry research."

Great job, guys!

    Updated because I found another forum member, Coinosaurus, in the acknowledgments. There may be more!
