Welcome, my name is Doug Barger. I am an avid coin collector. I love the history of money. I am a true numismatist.  I am constantly studying and learning about coins and currency. The rich history and and fascinating revelations that can be discovered in this hobby keeps me wide eyed and hooked. The connections to the ancient past and how our ancestors viewed money can give you a since of the values they held, and will expose the pulse of a society.

My goal with this site is to offer quality information based on historical fact. I gather my facts only from highly respected sources and my personal experiences in this hobby. I am an ANA member, this means that I subscribe to the associations high standards of conduct and integrity. I will never write about a subject that I don’t have clear facts about. I may speculate in parts of an article if hard facts are not available. I will always tell you if I am speculating and never try to pass it off as fact. 

I am an Electronic Technician. Although this is how I make money, numismatics is my passion.  I spend most of my free time studying and researching numismatic related items. Please sit back and stay a spell, check out my writings and leave a message on my forum or leave a comment on my blog, or send me an e-mail. I am always happy to hear from fellow numismatists or beginners.

Enjoy

Doug
