About myself
This is my first posting of coins for sale on the BST forum. I have collected coins for over 40 years – seriously for some 30 odd years. My areas of particular interest and hence where I specialize as a collector and as a seller of coins are Early American Coppers – primarily Large Cents, Pioneer or Territorial and California Fractional Gold. I attend most many regional shows in the southeast, sharing a table with a partner and fellow EAC buddy. I am a member of ANA, TSNS, BRNA, GNA, SPPN, and EAC. I will also be glad to provide other references upon request. I occasionally sell on ebay (dave4dawg6cst) and you will find my feedback to 100% positive. Should you find any coin of interest, I will be happy to e-mail photos or answer any questions – please take advantage of this offer should you find a coin you like. You can e-mail me at dave4dawg@aol.com or PM me on this forum and I will respond promptly. Thanks for looking. David Johnson
