   Around 1993. War year Merc dimes and Proof Franklins. Now I buy what I feel like at that moment, but last one just happened to be a 42/1 Merc in VF35.

   * Slabbed coins had come out. Main interest was silver dollars and gold type coins. Did my first show sharing a table with a coin club friend in 1990.

   Early to mid 1980s my dad would take me to the coin shop down in Sarasota Florida, off and on through the 90s and early 2000s. 2007, I bought some slabbed gold and became friends with Ronnie Willinger, I’ve been serious in the hobby ever since! 2009 I got into the business and I’ve worked in coins full-time ever since, but…

   I started collecting in 1999 while in Elementary school. Was fascinated with the state quarter program. Completed that set and branched out to vintage coinage.

    Started a "kid collection" in 1967-8 pulling Lincoln Cents from rolls with my allowance money, then subsequently lawn-mower money.
