History
I have been dealing in coins since I was in high school. I started setting up at coin shows at this time. I always was very active in the hobby..In the late 1970s, I worked for a major dealer in Chicago.In 1989, I established my office in downtown Chicago, which I maintain today. I enjoy dealing with people and helping them in their decisions on coins. I'm an active buyer of all types of coins and coin collections and also paper money. My office is strictly a buying office and not a retail store. In June 2012, I moved to 333 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1032. The reason for the move was that my old building is being converted to a Virgin Hotel. I'm very pleased with my new location. It is a lovely Art Deco building at the gateway to the Mag Mile.
