The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 22, May 28, 2000, Article 4MORE CELEBRITY NUMISMATISTSKen Barr writes: "I'm surprised that no one mentioned Michelle Johnson (15 minutes of topless fame for "Blame It on Rio") who bought an 1894-S Barber dime for $50,600 in the Jerry Buss sale (Superior, 1985). Her current claim to fame is being married to Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Matt Williams." Bill Rosenblum writes: "A few "CELEBRITY" numismatists that I know of: Angie Dickenson, the actress, whom I met at a show in the LA area in the early 1980's; James Earl Jones was a customer of a number of LA firms and thus was persuaded to narrate the video that David Lisot produced, the ANA and PNG sponsored a number of years ago that was seen on PBS ... (And I can't remember the name of it). Also, the ex-mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kollek, was an avid numismatist and two other collectors (or more likely investors) were Randy Gradishar, ex-linebacker for Ohio State and the Denver Broncos, who helped us with some free advertising work for coins shows we ran in Denver in the early 1980's and Julius (Dr. J) Erving. I also know a few other comparatively famous people who collect (and are serious numismatists) but since I value my clients' privacy I can't reveal their names at the moment. I'm sure there are plenty of similar people out there."
