CHUCK MAYER OF CHUCK'S COIN CORNER "Tom Casper wrote an article for Milwaukee Numismatic News for June 2019. He illustrated the article with business cards he acquired from local dealers over the years. One of these was from Chuck's Coin Corner. Casper identified the owner as Chuck Mayer." 
Tom Casper writes: "I spoke to Chuck Mayer's wife. She shared the following numismatic information about him." Charles (Chuck) B. Mayer was born in New York and later moved to Milwaukee, WI as a child. After high school he joined the Army, and when discharged attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His first job was as a bookkeeper at the M&I Bank. In the early 1960's he opened his first coin store in Milwaukee 3927 W. North Ave. He named it Chuck's Coin Corner. In about 1964 he moved his store to 6237 W. National Ave. in West Allis, WI, suburb of Milwaukee. He remained here until 1973 when he moved to Necedah, WI. He sold coins under the same name as well as used books. He was a member of the Milwaukee Numismatic Society and the American Numismatic Association. Chuck passed away on 12-16-1989 at the age of 56. Tom adds: "His wife remembers him stamping his business name on 2x2 holders and coin envelopes. I regularly visited his shop in West Allis and bought exonumia from him. He was very well liked and a very honest coin dealer as well as a collector." She confirmed that the pictured 2x2 holder is Chuck's stamp. Mystery solved! Thanks, everyone. -Editor
