Allan J. Kollar became interested in coin collecting in the mid-1950s, searching through change from his newspaper route. He recalls finding a worn V-nickel and a Standing Liberty quarter, worth 30 cents at the time. During college he earned degrees in fine arts from Pacific Lutheran University and the University of Washington. His experience in these fields led to an eventual career as a fine arts dealer. It was this career that actually enhanced his numismatic hobby, giving priority to aesthetics. In the May 2005 Superior catalog offering his collection, Kollar comments: "I learned in selecting coins, as well as in choosing fine paintings, that one can study and look for years; however, the real education begins when one buys the precious object."
From The Collections of Walter J. Husak and The Liberty Cap Foundation.
