Executive Sales Representative
Adam Jacobsen
Adam Jacobsen, son of our CEO: Keith Jacobsen. Has been in the numismatic industry since 2011 upon graduating college with multiple degrees in business. His knowledge and passion of numismatics is un-matched. He has also had the opportunity to help categorize both the Smithsonian collection in DC, and the Royal Collection in England. He is dedicated to passing on his knowledge of history and coins to our clients.
Executive Sales Representative
Mike Schulte
As our newest sales representative, Mike Schulte, offers a wealth of knowledge. His passion for coin collecting goes back over 50 years when he would spend hours going through all the old Mercury Dimes and Buffalo Nickels with his grandmother, back on her farm in Iowa. It was a history lesson since she was a teacher going back to the old one-room school house days. His fascination with numismatics continued to grow and he has spent over 25 years as a professional coin advisor. For him, there is nothing like the feeling of holding a coin in his hand that may have been held by Alexander the Great or recovered from the bottom of the ocean from a historic shipwreck. He thinks the most important set of gold coins he was able to place with a client, was a full set of Dahlonega gold coins valued at $865,000 at the time. He still feels that Numismatists and coin collectors are the true keepers of history. “You just can’t put a price on that.”
