Wow, Mr Newman is 106 years old!

Eric Newman is 106.
Yes, Eric P. Newman is 106, truly an accomplishment for anyone to reach this age. And he is not the only one to do so. Robert "Bob" L. Hendershott (Mr. Fun) also reached the ripe old age of 106 years before he passed away in 2005. He was the first President of the FUN organization, in 1955 and again in 1956. A tribute to Bob Hendershott can be seen here coinbooks.org/esylum_v08n14a19.html
Oh please, can you use an internet search engine? QDB isn't even eighty years old according to Wikipedia.
Mrs. Bullowa-Moore, very recently deceased, was 97.

He has 1916 SLQ's in his loafers.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
QDB has a long way to go to catch Eric P. Newman.
James E. Charlton, Canadian Numismatist, was 103 when he died.

Harvey Stack has to be one of the older still active Professionals around.
I would bet that Bowers isn't even in the top 10% age-wise. This is such an old man's hobby there are a LOT of octogenarians and nonagenarians with a few centenarians thrown in.
See how numismatics sharpens the mind, while adding quality years to your life!!

It seems that Mr. Clyde Hubbard is still living, according to the ANS - he must be quite old. A wonderful gentleman and numismatist.
Perhaps the oldest living numismatist who was also a coin dealer is a gentleman from right here in my backyard, Maurice A. Storck, who ran a very successful coin business in Portland, Maine for many years. He was a member of numerous numismatic organizations, both local and national, and was a member of our local coin club for many years. He made many appearances at our club meetings, and always brought something of interest for show and tell. Among his many accomplishments are that he is a survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941, he was a contributor to the 'Red Book' (look in any older copy of the Red Book, in the front, and see his name listed as a contributor), and he is the only surviving coin dealer who participated in the invitation-only auction of the King Farouk coin collection in 1954. He still owns the half dime lots from that sale. I would try to recollect even more about this amazing gentleman, but forum member Alan Weinberg perhaps told it best in this tribute to Mr. Storck coinbooks.org/v20/esylum_v20n21a21.html
