Bob Bair grew up in Wisconsin, where he fell in love with coin collecting as a result of the paper route he operated as a boy. He joined the American Numismatic Association (www.money.org) as Life Member #4138 in 1981 and became a rare coin dealer in 1987, in addition to pursuing his educational career as a teacher, coach, and school principal.

After retiring as a school principal in 2010, Bob has been a numismatic presenter at seven different American Numismatic Association National Conventions, has published over a dozen articles in The Numismatist, the A. N. A.’s monthly publication, and has received the A. N. A.’s Heath Literary Award Bronze Medal, and the Denver Coin Club’s Al Muckelbust Award for the advancement of numismatics.
