NUMISMATIST OF THE CENTURY
John Kraljevich

John Kraljevich almost couldn't help becoming a J coin collector and a historian.

He grew up 30 miles west of Philadelphia, so Early American history was an everyday fact of life.

Collecting was in his blood from birth: His maternal grandparents met at a convention for shell collectors and his father, a welder and mechanic, was drawn to the bargains found at country auctions, inspiring a lifelong love of the auction format.

Supported by his maternal grandmother, whose volunteer work at a gift-shop cash register helped her pull old coins from circulation, and a mother who was willing to support young John with books and academic enrichment, Kraljevich took to the hobby quickly. At age 7, a family trip to Europe to visit other family members inspired him to gather coins from every country visited. At age 9, Kraljevich's first local coin show introduced him to the community of the West Chester, Pennsylvania, Coin Club-and a lifelong connection to coins and the people who collect them was made.

John F. Kennedy Half Dollar Turns 60 - Memorializing a presidency cut short

The attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump's life at a campaign event in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, could have been more significant than it was. Trump's ear was clipped, but the 45th president survived.The last time a sitting or former U.S. president survived an attempted assassination was in 1981, when a man obsessed with actor Jodie Foster shot the recently inaugurated President Ronald Reagan, who survived the attack. Sadly, there was no similar good fortune for President John F. Kennedy nearly 20 years earlier. One of the darkest days in American history occurred on Nov. 22, 1963, when a lone gunman drew his weapon and assassinated President Kennedy during a motorcade procession in Dallas, Texas
