A lifelong passion for numismatics ignited at the young age of 11, leading Josh to specialize in collecting and studying 20th-century U.S. coins.

A respected figure in the hobby, Josh holds memberships in the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG), where his insightful writing has garnered him multiple awards for coin journalism.

Beyond his journalistic talents, Josh actively contributes to the numismatic community. He serves as the Editor of both The Fun Times Guide to Coins and FUN Topics magazine, published by the Florida United Numismatists Club. His knowledge is further solidified by his authorship of the book “Images of America: The United States Mint in Philadelphia,” which delves into the rich history of the mint.
