The Heads & Tails of Birth-Year Collecting
August 14, 2025, 12pm MT
This presentation will highlight the challenges and rewards of birth-year collecting. It is based on Peter’s experience researching and building a collection of 1963 world coins and commemorative medals. It highlights events of the time, including the JFK assassination, the space race, the Civil War centennial, the death of Pope John XXIII, and the Civil Rights Movement. It will discuss how to determine what coins and medals were issued by or minted in a specific country in a given year and identify various sources of the coins and medals, how you might display them, photograph and catalog them, and put parameters on your collection.
Peter Lawrence spent 35 years managing technology products for companies including Planar, Canon, and Autodesk. Today, he is a small business consultant living in Scottsdale, Arizona. He studied business at Oregon State University and then received a master’s degree from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Phoenix, Arizona. Peter is a musician, world traveler, and coin collector. His current focus is a 1963 birth-year collection of world coins and commemorative medals.
