    Fred is a good guy, very helpful. He has helped me many times with error coins and ethics.

    I have purchased several really interesting errors from Fred, and he is who I refer anyone looking for neat errors, or who have error questions. He really is the go-to error guy, that's for sure!

    Geez ... what a bunch of ...

    "... if you've seen a handsome, bearded coin expert on television, it was Fred Weinberg ..."

    Really? I thought that was Don Kagin! image Ouch! That had to hurt! image

    Seriously...all those nice things they said about Fred are right on the mark. He is truly a gem of a person. Of course, I attribute most of that to Kathy who is the beautiful and charming (and non-bearded) person always by his side at the shows.

    A stop at their table is a visit to an island of sanity in a sea of numismatic nonsense. Oh...and let's not forget those cool error coins!

    I had the pleasure of meeting Fred @ the ANA in Fort Worth recently... definitely a great guy who was very helpful. He actually signed off on some errors I was submitting to PCGS at the show, which saved a couple/few weeks of grading time!

    Well, time for me to chime in.....

    Aside from the "Don Kagin" comment, (LOL),
    thanks to all for the very kind words............

    Also, Lane is 1,000 per cent correct - Kathy,
    who's worked with me for 25 years, is the
    real gem here in the office, and the ANA shows
    that she attends.

    I think Fred was born with a beard. $1,000,000.00 to the first person to come up with a pic of him sans whiskers....................................................................................................
    ................................................................didn't think so.

    Photos of me without a full beard are pretty darn rare.

    That one in last months Coin World from early 1973 at
    the West Point Depositiory showed me with what was
    kinda 'in' then - Muttonchop Sideburns (almost a full beard)

    Best conversation I ever had with FredWeinberg was NOT about Errors Coins... But great advice on Divorce and Ex-Wives! imageimage
