WMYH Ep. 7 Coin Collecting – Interview with Kovi Winters

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.
