E.J. ANTONIK's Bio
COINS & NOTES:
I started out as a young hungry 'collectors helper' for my dad at age 10 in 1965. My dad had been a collector for many years prior, amassing quite a large and varied collection of all U.S. type coins and notes. His collection spanned over 50+ years dating back. I was taught all of the basics," NEVER clean a coin, NO MATTER HOW DIRTY". Hold a coin only by the third side, ESPECIALLY when the coin is NOT YOURS.... I am in the process of having MANY old U.S. type coins graded. From my 1808 Classic Head 1/2 cent, Bust and Seated Liberty Halves. Through a large amount of Morgans and Peace Dollars that my dad had saved. No tried & true grading standards in his time as he's been in a BETTER PLACE since 1982. I have kept up collecting / investing since. I have been a long time member of the U.S. Mint. Not missing many releases since the 80's which I grade as acquired and can AFFORD! Many "EARLY RELEASE" / "FIRST STRIKE" modern coins which I am in the process of listing in to sets.
I also have quite a large and varied collection of AUSSIE, MEXICAN, CANADIAN, U.K. U.S.S.R. and CZARIST RUSSIAN COINS.
COMICS: I also have approx. 40 'GOLDEN AGE' comics. From the first issue #1 IRON MAN. Through X-MEN, AVENGERS, SPIDER MAN, FANTASTIC FOUR...
Also a large and varied Baseball / Football card collection. I.E. TWO + complete 1961 Topps (AFC) football card sets. Len Dawson, Jack Kemp, George Blanda.... and TWO + 1964 Philadelphia (NFC) sets. Jim Brown, Bart Starr, John Unitas... Not to mention many others.
