A housekeeping announcement

I have stated many times in the past that I consider myself first and foremost a collector and that my posts are to be taken in that context. As of the first of the year that perspective will change. I have recently signed a letter of intent to increase to a 49% shareholder in Legend Numismatics and so I will be posting more from the perspective of a fulltime dealer.

    What does this mean for your day to day activities? Will you be going to more shows
    and looking for material? Attending auctions and buying for inventory?

    Or sleeping in until noon and letting Laura do all the work? ;-)

    Nothing. There are those who claim that i need to be fully open regarding my relationship with Legend. Here you have full disclosure.

    I may attend more West Coast shows, but mostly will be working behind the scenes to ensure Legend is well run and well financed.

    Now, does this mean that the reports will be spell-checked/gramatically checked? image (j/k....even as they are, the points are well made and well understood...sorry, I thought someone would have brought it up by now...lol).

    Congratulations and good luck, You have done an awful lot for the hobby as a collector and I look forward to your impact on the dealer side even if it targets a different segment of the market. If you are trying to raise capital for the venture I am a buyer for some of your old circulated problematic Doubled die Trade dollars image
    Hopefully this will give Laure time to commit to the ANA and help with that if she still is running for the board.

    Bruce,

    I am pleased to learn of this development and hope this leads to more posting on your part. As a man of both integrity and honor I always welcome your perspective. Not to mention the amazing coins that come your way.

    While many believe the relationship must be fractious between collector and dealer, it is MHO that is personality driven, not systemic. Perhaps we will hear things via your filter that seem a bit harsh when attributed to Laura. Again, congratulations !!

    I wish you all the best in this semi-new phase of your life. Given the factors, your knowledge and associates with whom you are involved, success is assured, similar to that of betting on a horse after it has crossed the winning line. Why do I get the feeling that this is only a part of phase 1 ?

    Call it a hunch.
