Antique coins are the subject of this week’s podcast episode, and we’re bringing on Kovi Winters a close personal friend of mine, and a thoroughly knowledgable numismatist. He specializes in American coins, but as is common among most collectors and history buffs in general, he knows a lot about a lot of other areas of his craft. Today he joins us with some gems from his collection, pearls of wisdom for the newcomer to the hobby, and a joyful spirit to wash it all down.
