ROBERT H. COLEGROVE
Dedicated lifelong collector & numismatist...
Bob developed an interest in coin collecting around 1959 as a 12-year old boy. His passion began with Lincoln and Indian Cents and a love for the hobby that would later take his interests around the globe in numismatics.
Bob grew up and became an avid fur trapper and buyer, working summers for a local farmer, especially during the haying season. He continued collecting US coins through his teen years with frugality and patience, saving for the coins he wanted to buy. When he graduated from high school in 1965, he went to work for a local Cadillac garage and then later at Corning Glass Works in Corning, NY. In the early stages of the Vietnam War and as the military draft began, he enlisted in the US Air Force. After completing his basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, he was deployed to Misawa Air Base in Japan. It was during this time that he developed an intense interest in collecting World coins. While in Japan, his unit was sent on emergency duty to Da Nang as a pivotal part of the security forces in that region. In 1970, he was honorably discharged from the US Air Force and returned to his home state of Pennsylvania, eventually returning to a career at Corning Glass Works.
On September 25, 2002, he suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury in a fall at work. After much rehabilitation and by God’s grace, he made great strides to try to get back to where his life was prior to the accident. A few years later, he dove back into his love for coin collecting and obtained many very nice items from a number of reputable dealers. With limitations on his ability to organize his ever-growing US and World coin collection, his health challenges eventually became a greater focus, especially in the last five years. Although no longer actively collecting, Bob remains enthusiastic about receiving his coin collecting periodicals and is excited to see his wonderful items offered at auction, as they go to other collectors in a continuation of his numismatic legacy.
