From James Bucki:
For me, coin collecting is more than a hobby: It is a passion. As a professional educator, I love to teach and there is nothing more enjoyable than teaching people about coin collecting. I started collecting coins when I was ten years old and have witnessed the evolution of the hobby into what it is today. I look forward to teaching anyone on the Internet who wants to learn about the joys and investment opportunities of coin collecting.
