Numismatics

Our Numismatic Team

Led by Coin Manager Sean Holmes

Numismatics is about far more than the metal contained in a coin. Date, mintmark, condition, rarity, variety, provenance and collector demand can all influence what a coin is and how it trades in the collector market.

Sean and Gulf Coast's numismatic team work with individual coins, certified material, inherited collections and long-held accumulations.

U.S. Coins Rare, collectible, certified and historic United States coinage.
World & Ancient Foreign, ancient and specialized numismatic material.
Certified Coins Experience with professionally graded PCGS and NGC coins.
Collections Individual coins, complete collections and estates.

Research Researching property and information needed to prepare auction lots.
Cataloging Preparing listings and presenting property for bidders.

Shipping Coordinating the final stages of getting purchased property to winning bidders.
