The dude that sells coins on QVC?

I dont know if one person, IMO, has all-power in numismatics. I think that there are specialists in every discipline who, collectively, could be considered as having power.

This probably does not answer your question, sorry.

Laura?

It is not necessarily the person with the most

magnificent collection. Rather, it should be a

person who has profoundly changed the hobby

and the way that the coin industry functions.

Using this criteria, select the name(s) of your

candidates.

It is a woman and her name is Laura Serber. PERIOD!!!! END OF DISCUSSION.

That's Sperber...... end of discussion?

Tough call among:
John Albanese
HRH
Dos Equis Guy

speety · July 13, 2009 2:56AM

<< Dos Equis Guy >>

Although certainly the most interesting guy, I doubt the most powerful...

I would guess either HRH or (a woman...) Sperber.

19Lyds · July 13, 2009 3:02AM

In my household, its me!

After that, its anybodies guess.

JamesMurray · July 13, 2009 3:06AM

<< The collector. >>

Cant fault that answer , ultimately its correct.

PTVETTER · July 13, 2009 3:12AM

You mean it is NOT me

I'm crushed !!!!!!!!!

tahoe98 · July 13, 2009 3:16AM

GFourDriver · July 13, 2009 3:18AM

QDB and HRH are right up there.

SeaEagleCoins · July 13, 2009 3:19AM

Longacre's personal bodyguard...

Harvey Stack was the most influential proponent of the State Commemorative quarter series. I would expect that his influence indirectly was responsible for the addition of 30 million plus new collectors entering the hobby in the past decade.
