Within the rare coin industry, we have achieved a high degree of success and national recognition by having assembled a strong team of numismatic experts. The Chief Numismatist on site is John Saltonstall, GG. John is well established in the field and the community. He is highly regarded for his expansive knowledge of both jewelry and coins. John, who works at the Irvine Gold Mine, has developed a following in the community as a result of his fair pricing. If you plan to shop around, visit us last! You won’t regret it!

One great advantage that our customers have is that our markup on rare coins is usually in the 10% to 15% range. This is in contrast to the common markup of 25% to 40% found at many large companies in the industry. Our price markup on bullion is often only 1% to 3% above our wholesale cost which again gives our customers the benefits of both price competitiveness and expertise.
