It’s been 10 full months since my last blog post — too long, no doubt. In those 10 months there’s been a flurry of activity, from cataloging the Harry W. Bass, Jr., Bob Simpson, and Scott Douglas Collections to purchasing estates and collections to setting up shows, including at Ottawa and Toronto. In the fall of 2022, I was able to acquire two sizeable groups of Canadian tokens and secure an impressive consignment of Canadian rarities. On a personal note, I was also able to squeeze in a golf trip to Cape Breton and spent a couple weeks in Spain in January 2023. The fun never stops.

Right now, I continue to process the material in stock, plus a newly obtained collection of American countermarks. Some of those will be listed on my site, while others will be sold through weekly eBay auctions, so stay tuned. Processing takes time, and balancing that with other cataloging responsibilities can be challenging. The site doesn’t get updated as frequently as I would like, but your ongoing support is appreciated!

I am always looking to buy new material. Whether it’s a specialized collection, a one-off you’re looking part with, an estate lot, scrap gold or silver, I guarantee a fair price paid and your complete satisfaction. I work with my clients to ensure their material is handled appropriately and I guide them through any number of routes for selling, whether auction, outright sale, or consignment. With that said, feel free to send and email or give me a call to discuss.

It has already been a record-setting year for Jacob Lipson Rare Coins, so thanks to all of you who have contributed to that success. I look forward to seeing some of you at my next show in Halifax. Until then, keep in touch and make sure to check back regularly.
