Fact: I met Andy many years ago at a trade and grade in Vegas, and I always have wanted to go back and have dinner with him.

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.

Andy has been a personal friend for over 40 years. We have conducted tons of business. His expertise in U.S. Pattern coinage is unmatched. I want to publicly thank him for sharing his knowledge and for being part of Mint Error News for over 20 years. Thanks Andy!

This thread scared me, momentarily, until I opened it and saw the date and content.
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. 🍀 🍺👍

Andy sold me the favorite non-US coin in my collection a few years ago at the FUN show. You just never know what cool coins you can find at his table....... always one of my first stops.
