I must confess.When I viewed this thread last week shortly after it was posted, I "liked" his facebook page and posted the link to this thread on his f/book page.
I also was seriously thinking of posting some videos of my errors on youtube, but I'm still in the middle of procrastinating and not sure if or when I will get this done.
In a previous post here on CCF, I had mentioned that I have photos of all my error coins on facebook also and was thinking of posting some of the photo album links here.
Anyway, he does have a nice collection, and anyone that can purchase what they like, and money is not a problem, can build a multi-million dollar collection in their lifetime.
While most of us here could never touch a collection of this size, we have to agree that we all love what we collect and like to share what we have with others.
In the past I started collection coins from circulation in the early 1960's, and in my 20's (mid 1970's) turned my numismatic interest to Colonial & Obsolete (Broken Bank) Currency, along with 18th & 19th century Ephemera.
In the mid 1990's when I entered the Internet age, and had access to error coins, I sold my Currency collection as one lot and delved into the wonderful world of errors.
Anyone that visit's ChrisDotCalm's facebook page can click on my post there and have access to photos of my error collection (look for the quadstruck cent).
The one thing I love about error and variety coins and currency is that when you're lucky enough to locate some extremely rare errors (and varieties) for your collection, you have a hand up on the person that can afford to purchase what they want, but can't purchase what you have due to the rarity.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that while this 20 year old collector has a collection valued in the 6 figure range of common Silver that anyone with the money can purchase, I value my error collection more when I factor in the rarity and sentimental value.
One photo from my ephemera collection is below, a 200+ year old sheet of unissued bank checks.
