History

Established in 1987.

My interaction with coins began in 1977 when a friend suggested collecting. Learning for the next decade led to founding Paragon Numismatics during my junior year at UW Madison. Coin dealing represents a treasure hunt because one never knows what will come in the door! Items I purchase include coins, currency, precious metals, jewelry, watches, and sterling. I also appraise collections on an hourly basis and sell a wide range of coins to collectors. Coins aside, treating clients with impeccable integrity represents the cornerstone of my business. If you have a rare coin hiding in a group of common items, I will identify it for you and offer you a price based on its true rarity and condition. No games. This commitment to knowledge and ethics reinforces my membership in the Professional Numismatists Guild, the most prestigious numismatic organization in the world with fewer than 250 members worldwide.

Meet the Business Owner

Andrew K.

Business Owner

I’ve lived in Milwaukee for my whole life. I have presented dozens of lectures about coins at major national conventions and local venues. I’ve also been an instructor at the American Numismatic Association’s Summer Seminar in Colorado Springs, CO. Nationally recognized expert on natural and artificial toning, coin originality, numismatic conservation, successful coin collecting strategies, and numismatic etiquette. I have bought and sold tens of millions of dollars worth of coins, gold, and silver over the years. I routinely participate in major national coin auctions when acquiring inventory or securing high quality coins for collectors.

Enough about coins… get a life, Andy! Outside of work I enjoy gardening, reading, playing bass guitar, family time, and getting chased by my dog.
