Pete Apple

Pete Apple’s interest in numismatics began in childhood, inspired by inherited large cents, Barber coinage found in circulation, and early access to silver dollars through local banks. A lifelong researcher and student, his academic background spans mathematics, engineering, languages, philosophy, theology, and finance. Since retiring more than 20 years ago, he has focused on research in genealogy, archaeology—publishing in LaTierra—and numismatics, with his work strengthened by the guidance and encouragement of leading authorities in numismatic errors and varieties.
