When it comes to Numismatics, Joel’s expertise is unparalleled in the United States.

When it comes to Numismatics, Joel’s expertise is unparalleled in the United States.

Approximately 6% of Americans are serious coin collectors. The vast majority possess modern nation state coinage.

That is, coins minted since the latter part of the 18th century.


Since counterfeits are known to exist, and appraisers are rarely authenticators, in selective cases we may recommend the coins be authenticated. This is particularly true of coins from the ancient world.
