    DID give me a job once, right after I got laid off in the 2008 downturn. I did a few eBay consignments for him. Doing consignments isn't really my cuppa tea, but I did have fun with his.

    Andy is one of the great stalwarts of the collecting hobby, has handled so many amazing coins, and is a great person in general!

    It's great to have him in the hobby and on the forums!

    ... and yes, still alive, 9 years after this thread started!

    I was exhausted at the November 2024 Baltimore show and was afraid to buy any coins with my eyes not good enough to view any mint state coins. Sat down with Andy and saw his pile of raw circulated Peace Dollars. I liked them a lot and he gave me a very reasonable price for the 1924 Peace Dollar I wanted to buy for my upcoming grandson who was born just two days ago. Really cool to be an owner at age 0 of a 100 year old silver dollar!

    My nicest J-2054 cent pattern was sold by Andy to me over 10 years ago and it later received highest grade CAC sticker grade.

    Andy knows patterns better than anyone.

    His buddy Robert Rhue is also a great guy.

    This thread scared me, momentarily, until I opened it and saw the date and content. :o

    I only met him once but he was very gracious and friendly.

    He knows his coins and had a great inventory of really rare items.

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
