<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 4550298, member: 87200&quot;]I have a Silicon Valley background, meaning I&#039;ve started some companies, two were sold, one failed. Gained experience raising money, became a private equity guy. Now I&#039;ve stopped chasing deals. In November 2018 my Dad died (long time Navy officer from Viet Nam through the Gulf War, retired and eventually started his own maritime company in 1998) but before he died I helped him sell his company in May of 2018 to a private equity firm. I spend a lot of time on astronomy when I am not playing with my coins. I&#039;ve been collecting since age 11 and have always had a strong interest in history and the classics, though I sold my initial collection at 18 to fund part of my college expenses. I got started again in 2014 with unclean coins, which was exhilarating and frustrating at the same time, then I started buying individual coins. It&#039;s interesting to see the diverse backgrounds of folks here on CoinTalk. I&#039;ve learned a lot and try to impart some of what I have learned to the new folks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
