Expertise

My specialty is in foreign/world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries. This includes all regular circulation issues, commemorative coinage and non-circulating medallic issues. I also have knowledge in related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them.

Collector of world coins since early childhood (age 4), dealer in world coins and related items for roughly 7 years (including the past 4 years on eBay). Access to a variety of auction records and reference material. You can also find me on Facebook and my eBay seller id is Pallsoma.
