the United States and how collectibles reflected that history.

of the Russell J. Logan and Gilbert G. Steinberg coin and currency collections,
which was hosted by the Baltimore Marriott Inner Harbor Hotel at Baltimore’s
historical Inner Harbor.
Accompanying Bowers on the visit were Cris
Karstedt, vice-president of Bowers and Merena Galleries, Melissa Karstedt, sales
associate for Bowers and Merena Galleries, and Laura Sperber, partner – Legend
Numismatics, a longtime advisor to Gemstone Publishing’s price guides.
