Scottishmoney Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was one of the United States Presidents that was also an avid collector of ancients, which compelled him to commission Augustus St. Gaudens for the $10 and $20 designs. We as numismatists should be putting our money and votes behind candidates that love coins, we could usher in a new renaissance in coin beauty.

bobh Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Jascha Heifetz was an avid collector of world coins, especially gold coins from a large range of different countries. He also had an extensive Russian collection with many extremely rare items. When his coins were all sold in the late 80's or early 90's, they brought over $8 million dollars! His Russian collection was not as large as Irving Goodman's, but he made up for it in quality. Wonder what those Russian coins would go for today?
