scottk Pillar of the Community United States 767 Posts	Posted 03/23/2015 2:35 pm You know when you see a Fugio cent attributed as "Newman L-1" or whatever? That's Eric P. Newman. He is 104 years old. He is, "a titan in the numismatic world". He bought most of his coins during the 1940s and 1950s. At the time, he paid a total of around $7500. In 2008, he sold every coin he owned ... For $21,000,000 Report this Post to the Staff
