Ira Goldberg is a fifty-year veteran of the rare coin industry. Over the course of his career, Ira has handled virtually every numismatic rarity you can think of. But the project he has worked on in secret over the past fifteen years with an anonymous collector may be his most significant endeavor. Called the Tyrant Collection, this varied collection of rare and important coins spans the millennia and covers civilizations across the globe. The first part of the collection, called "Tyrants of the Thames", covers a wide swath of English history, and contains a cascade of important and seldom seen coins.*** This CoinWeek podcast is brought to you by PCGS.
