I can't call myself a professional numismatist, but I'm decades into my coin collecting journey and following in my grandfather's footsteps in many ways. When I inherited some of his extensive collection, and was tasked with liquidating some of it for his estate, I learned the true value of the coins and precious metals he spent so much time on. As an avid investor, I quickly began to allocate assets toward acquiring coins, currency, and bullion that interested me. Today, I consider myself a bit of a "vest-pocket" dealer in these items, in addition to being an enthusiastic investor and collector of a variety of U.S. and foreign coins and currency. Naturally, as a photographer, I like to share images of the numismatic items I deal in and those that I hold in my personal collection. I've launched an Instagram account to share those images. I'm always excited to help other collectors and investors add interesting pieces to their collections.
