    Lucky you! My percentage in higher. Yet, I sill don't have an example of every U.S. coin. Fancy that.

    My percentage relative to coinage of William the Conquer is lower. Now that I’m in my dotage and can’t comprehend numbers like I used to, that makes me feel better. When I start collecting Roman coins, I'll feel like new man!

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Well now... Interesting bell curve here...Although I expected it to peak beyond thirty, I thought it may be a bit heavier toward my end of the scale (70's)....Certainly Instagram would populate much younger....Cheers, RickO

    Years ago a dealer told me that coin collecting is mostly a bunch of old men sending packages back and forth in the mail. His opinion, I don't know and don't wish to offend.

    Hey! Used to eat at Bill’s when I was in my teens and twenties. Then they closed my local restaurant. I nearly cried. Best burgers especially with the chopped olives. Really miss those. The kids even liked going there for lunch. Yea, we were almost always the youngest there but......

    Do they have delivery?

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    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.
