Hey everybody! It has been a long time since I have been around. My numismatic life has taken off considerably. I am almost 17, and got a job with the world's largest coin dealer: HERITAGE AUCTIONS! I also have gotten much more knowledgeable and become a lot more well known. My company is Matt Draiss Numismatics & Galleries. I will be working for Heritage this summer. I also will be writing an article for the "Greysheet" later this year. I collect: V nickels Civil War and Hard Times tokens from NY Obsolete bank notes and scrip from NY Coinage and Currency of Biafra I also am busy branching into buying jewelry and representing collectibles to the world's largest auction houses. I am becoming a bigger dealer everyday and I learned a ton at Summer Seminar in Colorado. I hope to share what I have learned along the way with all of you guys! Drop me a line sometime. Matt Draiss

Awesome that you are already on the path of success and entrepreneurship at only 17. If only the other 99% of people your age were as motivated & enthusiastic...
Thanks everybody! I will be coming back around more often. I am also busy with school and the firehouse.
Welcome back. I look forward to your new threads & posts. Perhaps you could share some new experience or information regarding V-nickels?
Now Ken, do you really want the FBI poking around in your past? Just be happy that you got away with so much in your "yut". Bruce
