COIN BOARD HOARD UPDATE AND INTERVIEW

I wanted to pass along two quick updates on the Coin Board Hoard.

1) To make it easier to see what is in the hoard, readers can now go to www.CoinBoardHoard.com. It will redirect them to the full 1700+ inventory sheet.

2) While I was in Greenbay, Wisconsin to catalog the hoard, I had a chance to sit down and interview Donald Kocken. He authored the book "Collecting Vintage Coin Boards, Albums, Folders, & Holders: 1930's and Beyond" and a large part of the hoard comes from his collection. As a fellow coin album nerd, I knew I had to pick his brain.

I'm sure many readers will enjoy this 52-minute conversation covering his 60+ years in numismatics. They can find the interview on YouTube.

Donald shared a lifetime of stories and insights including:

• Truck driving and coin collecting on the road
• Advice to collectors on balancing time between the hobby and your spouse
• Sorting 168,000 wheat pennies
• The first Coin Board prototype ever made

 

He also answered questions from collectors online such as:

• "When was the peak in album sales?"
• "What does the future of coin collecting look like?"
• "What is the rarest Whitman folder someone could find at a coin shop?"
• And many more
