I don't think we know each other Albert, but it sounds like you've been in there too. I read about it on-line and had to see it once, when I was in New York seeing our kids and had some time on my hands. I believe I spent an hour in there...the more I talked and told stories, the more boxes that came out. I have been in similar shops all over the world, and have developed a kind of instinct for finding them. Falcone's shop in San Jose CA is similar....lots of Spanish cobs and California nuggets lying around.
Many dusty boxes were shuffled through. I was looking mainly for French coins. I believe that I also found a Charles IX teston in his jumble, but it was not as memorable as the 1815 Napoleon 2 franc.
Here I am on the way to Bosco's....picked up a shirt on the way....
