Ken Potter is 68 years old and began collecting coins in 1959 when the reverse of the Lincoln cent was changed from the wheat-back to the now familiar Lincoln Memorial design.
He dabbled in variety and error coins almost from the very beginning of his collecting interests and began specializing in that field in 1979 when he discovered a new variety on a Canadian dollar that made front page news in the Canadian numismatic press (in addition to stories in Coin World, Numismatic News and Error-Variety News) on the discovery. He now operates a web site containing one of the most comprehensive listings of varieties and error coins for sale anywhere.
He has been an active collector, dealer and producer of silver art bars, medals and rounds since 1973.
In addition to being a contributor to countless books, columns and articles by others, he is a prolific author and photographer with regularly featured columns in the following publications:
