ABOUT US
: I have collected coins for over 45 years.  The coins and numismatic books that I sell on eBay are items from my personal collection that, for one reason or another, no longer fit my collecting goals.  Some have been owned a short time; others a very long time.  Buy with confidence that I know what I'm selling.  I am a frequent contributor on numismatic forums.  I recommend all collectors of ancient coins frequent the classical numismatics discussion at www.forumancientcoins.com
