Q. David Bowers

GREAT COIN HOBBY PROMOTER

- CHRISTINE N. KARSTEDT

Q. David Bowers is perhaps the best-known and most noteworthy numismatist of the last 60 years.

Beginning in 1953, Dave’s contributions to numismatics have continued uninterrupted and unabated to the present day. His work with rare coins is so voluminous and so extraordinary that he was named by COINage magazine in 1999 as one of the “Numismatists of the Century,” one of only six living individuals to receive this honor. Dave’s dedication to the hobby and his lifelong interest in rare coins, along with his pursuit of scholarly knowledge, have made him one of the most honored and revered numismatists of all time.
