He was at least as of a few weeks ago ... one of the shops
I work with uses him as their primary source of modern BU rolls,
current U S Mint Proof Sets, Mint Sets, Silver Iggles, etc.

I suspect that Julian is slowing down (and deservedly so
after fifty-ish years in the business ...) and is primarily
just working with his wholesale clients these days. Just
moving those massive amounts of statehood quarter rolls
and bags around prolly nearbout kiltem ...

IIRC, Julian still doesn't have any "modern" convenieces

all of his invoices are still typewritten.

I'm fairly sure that Julian doesn't even know that Usenet
exists let alone ever have posted to it ...

I believe that is "Jarvik". Robert Jarvik. Interestingly, he is
married to Marilyn vos Savant.
