    Here lies the mortal remains of a numismatist...
    As dead as the Classic Commem market.

    USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.

    This is slightly OT, but yesterday, I found the grave of an actual numismatic legend - Victor David Brenner. I didn't post it because I thought it might be too macabre, but this is the perfect place!

    I just want a cup on the top of my tombstone.

    Leave a cent, take a cent is all it says.

    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.
