Coins We Love: šŸ˜ŽDealer of the YearšŸ˜Ž

Growing up, I never expected to be a coin dealer. I found it to be a fun hobby that integrated with my interest in history and it was something that I could share with my father (and later my mother). But, it was never something that I thought could be a career for someone with my familyā€™s means. Thanks to the ANAā€™s Summer Seminars, the involvement of many friends at the Greenville, SC Coin Club, and the South Carolina Numismatic Association, my interests were stoked and I was able to develop some lifelong friendships and mentorships over the years.

This year, I have been named the ANAā€™s Harry Forman Dealer of the Year. Itā€™s an amazing honor from an organization that helped me to reach this point in my career! Iā€™m thankful for everyone that continues to allow me to pursue this passion. Iā€™d also like to thank everyone at DLRC, past and present. The only reason I could ever receive this award is due to the outstanding work they do every day. They are the folks that make me look good - Iā€™m thankful for each and every one of them. And, of course, Iā€™m thankful for my wife Ruth, and my boys, Wesley and Luke, as they allow me to pursue this passion and career. While I am quite surprised, Iā€™m very thankful and humbled to receive this award from the American Numismatic Association.

Numismatically Yours,

John Brush
