have and who they should speak with.

The Gulf Coast Team
Different Specialists. One Business.
Coins, bullion, diamonds, jewelry and auction property
require different kinds of knowledge. Gulf Coast brings
together people with experience across these categories so
customers can speak with someone familiar with the type of
property they actually have.
Meet the Specialists
Experience Where It Matters

knowledge across gemology, jewelry, coins and other areas
of the business. When a customer brings something through
our doors, the goal is to connect that property with the
appropriate experience.

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.

move auction property through the process from research
and listing through final shipment.
