Hope you can attend. This week on the CoinWeek Podcast, our guest is legendary promoter of coin collecting, Scott Travers. I have known Scott for several years and we have had more than a few hours long conversations about the state of the market, the future of coin collecting, and our shared love for numismatics. When I reached out to him a few weeks ago, I asked him to come on our air to talk about how the marketing of coins is different today than it was thirty years ago - a period we generally look back at and think was a golden time for the market - where selling certain types of coins was much easier than it appears to be today. I’m not sure that Scott and I arrive at a consensus on this topic and I have to admit, this was one of the most difficult interviews that I’ve ever done for the podcast. Still, Scott’s information is expert and valuable and I hope that you leave this program with a few prompts for your own conversations with your collecting friends. The always on Scott Travers is up next on the CoinWeek podcast
