While Joe’s numismatic career began in 1977, it wasn’t until the Norweb sales in the late 1980s that he began writing notes on all of the great coins that passed through the market, with particular attention to those coins which he bought and sold personally. These mostly handwritten notes fill binders and file folders as well as the catalogues for auctions that he attended.

The coins presented below are an archive of many of the truly fantastic coins that Joe has handled over these past three plus decades, whether as principal or agent, with descriptions that include Joe’s extensive notes. Keep in mind that the coins below are not currently available for sale. However, given enough time, most things come back around to the market – although some require more patience than others.
