<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 14046, member: 487"]Good question. For myself, my love of coins date back to my teenage years. Buying and selling coins in the collection made me quite the regular at the local coin shop in Los Angeles. After a stint in the Navy I took a part time job in that same shop. Mostly cataloging coins and putting them in flips. After a few years of learning coins and a few years of college studying history and numismatics I made the leap to a full time employee. Most of my time was spent traveling from show to show. After 11 years with that company I bought the outfit and moved to the east coast. The rest is history. I can honestly state that I have never worked a day in my life. This career has allowed me to meet many wonderful people and make a few good friends along the way. I have seen 49 of the states during my years, and have bought and sold some very beautiful and rare coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
