There something to be said about keepsakes. They are special... but I have many that are extra-ordinary.
I am talking about coins from stacker friends. Friends whom I have not personally met. We share a bond- a group of guys and gals who stack silver and gold as a collection or as a hedge against inflation.
Wow! This is the oldest coin I have got. It was from 's Dad or Mom and probably was bought many decades ago.
This coin is authenticated by Joel L Malter & Co., Classical Numismatists.
Kerry Wetterstrom, Editor/Publisher of The Celator writes:
"He was the founder of the (new) Numismatic Fine Arts, a name acquired from Edward Gans, and subsequently he hired Bruce McNall to work for NFA. When Bruce and Joel decided to part ways, Bruce purchased the rights to the NFA name from Joel.
Joel and I shared an interest in the coinage of ancient Egypt. While I was still in high school, I was given a copy of his Auction No. II (Joel L. Malter & Co., Inc., held on Feb. 23-24, 1978), which contained many Egyptian rarities. This catalogue was my primary reference for many years, and when I finally met Joel in person at a Los Angeles coin show in 1983 (C.O.I.N. or the Convention of International Numismatists, held just prior to the San Diego ANA, as I then drove from L.A. To San Diego with Frank L. Kovacs, another California dealer whose library rivals Joel's for ancient numismatics), I told Joel this and he seemed quite pleased by this little fact."
