Who I am and why I'm here: I retired from and sold a family run business in 2004, (the average family business lasts two generations) so we are pretty average. I've tried other enterprises and they fell by the wayside due to lack of interest or my desire to enjoy what I do. So, I returned to what I love best, coin collecting. After a couple decades I decided I'd attempt to do it as a self supporting enterprise and registered a trade name. Now the Key in Key Numismatics comes from the place I lived when I began, the Florida Keys. Everything there is named key this or key that so I thought it fit as all coin series have key dates. Dave's coins just had no ring or imagination and the self-supporting aspect I'm still working on. What I love most is the history behind a coin. I wish they could talk about the places they've been, what they were spent on and who carried them. Often, after receiving a new item, I will delve into its history just to educate myself to fully understand its place in our history. My next favorite thing is traveling to shows, whether national or local either to rent a booth and sell or just to shop. I built this website not just to sell but to offer insights to those new to the hobby. Whether its a coin or currency, I wish to offer what I can. We all can learn from each other and that is what I wish to accomplish. Suggestions are welcome. If you'd like to see a feature not present please leave a comment.
