ABOUT US
The Dusty Coin has a relatively short history, but I have been
dealing in the coin collecting world since 1984.
I became involved with coin collecting in an effort to find an
area of common interest with my son. Unfortunately, it only
held his attention for about 6 months, instead heading back
to his comic book collection. I got hooked for a lifetime being
drawn to the vast variety and uniqueness of United States
coins dating back to the late 1700’s.
Being a veterinarian by trade, I realized early on that I
needed professional guidance to properly pursue my new
found hobby. I solicited the help of one of my clients who was
a major coin dealer for over 2 decades. He took me under his
wing and taught me about coins and the business of coin
collecting. What I anticipated would be a short course of
learning turned into a 4-year educational process.
Since those early days, I have continued expanding my
knowledge and quickly came to the realization that it was
easy to purchase any coin at a given price, but the challenge
of selling parts of my collection was a totally different story.
This was the driving force in opening The Dusty Coin. Trust
and fairness should be the hallmark of any company and
these values are at the cornerstones of our business. We do
little advertising, so most of our clientele is generated by
referrals. Developing a network of collectors has allowed The
Dusty Coin to pay a fair price for collections and at the same
time make an attempt to preserve old coins so they don’t end
up being melted where they are lost forever. Our format is
structured as a one-on-one business thus eliminating the
need for a store front and the over-head expenses that are
incurred. This enables us to offer higher prices for
collectibles.
In the past several years, The Dusty Coin has enjoyed rapid
growth in other areas. The purchasing of sterling silver,
bullion, gold jewelry, and old U.S. paper money now
comprises over 40% of our business model. Our expanding
national network has allowed us to be extremely competitive
in these markets.
Currently our company has a footprint in the Atlanta area
and northern Tennessee. Being members of most of coin and
paper money national organizations like PCGS and NGC,
affords us daily access to current information, market trends
and pricing.
In today’s environment, we have seen an explosive expansion
of Internet companies asking you to mail your valuables to
them in the hope that their advertised promises are kept. In
contrast, The Dusty Coin provides you a face-to-face
environment of comfort and safety in which we will evaluate
your collectibles and, in that process, offer you fair pricing.
Please feel free to e-mail or call us with questions concerning
any of your collectibles.
