The Sermarini Family

Hi.  I'm Joe Sermarini, the owner of FORVM ANCIENT COINS, in the photo is my wife, Rose, and our daughters, Allison, Amanda, and Amber (in order from oldest to youngest).  

I an active duty Commander in the U.S. Navy Supply Corps.  I will retire on 1 November 2007.  My current assignment is Commander, Defense Distribution Depot Cherry Point, North Carolina, which explains our location. 

FORVM ANCIENT COINS started as my hobby.  As an ancient coin collector, I wanted more coins than I could afford.  While still on active duty, I thought that by selling a few coins, I could make a little money to buy more coins.  But, I discovered that my pleasure comes more from attributing and researching coins than from permanently owning them.  Today my collection and my inventory are the same, so my collection changes constantly.

Rose is an angel and a fantastic cook. We met and married in Singapore.  

Allison is now 12 and in seventh grade.  Amanda is seven and in second grade.  Amber is five and starting first grade. 

Sorry, the pictures are way out of date...
