considering that he had very coin, including all of the gold, just the $20 alone, I quickly counted, not including all varieties, is about #185 pieces, so $20 X 185 = $3,700.
He invested around 4 million and it sold in three sales, one 1982, 1996, and 1997 for a total of 44 million. Ed lee who owns the 1913 Liberty nickel from the collection estimates the whole collection would be worth more than 100 million today.
BIO, Thanks for that great photo, I always admired people who were of unlimited means, and spent like there was no tomorrow and did so very wisely, in the hobby of Numismatics. This man was a legend! Any known sites to find more info about this person?
