About Us

---

Hello!

I am Mike Garofalo and I have been a Professional Numismatist, Author and Senior Executive for over 45 years. 

I have managed my own wholesale numismatic company as well as directed and managed the largest online bullion and numismatic dealer in the country today - APMEX.  I helped this company triple in size and increase its revenue by 600%! And they have continued to grow! My experience extends from start-ups to turn -around situations as well as well  established companies assures that I can help YOU!

Varied Expertise

My experience has helped a 70+ year old turn-around situation in the print industry, a 20 year dynamically-growing numismatic wholesaler, a coin and medal designer who was the most prolific AIP coin designer in US Mint history, as well as 5 year old retailer in the world venue experiencing growing pains. These situations were more than the current management could handle. I have also advised several start-ups coming online. These companies have continued to grow and thrive because we developed a plan and showed them the proper path to follow.  

Numerous problems can arise running your own business. We have helped company owners with:

• Raising much-needed capital for your business
• Providing access to major players in both the wholesale and retail coin markets
• Providing access to many of the world's best-known sovereign mints
• Providing access to some of the finest and most prolific coin designers in the world today 
• Taking some rightly deserved equity off of the table 
• Banking/Accounting/Legal relationships
• Mergers or business acquisitions
• Smoothing the path for a new business or for your initial foray into the coin and/or bullion industries

Numismatic Industry

My particular industry experience is that I have bought and sold over TWO BILLION dollars' worth of coins and bullion over that span. I am well-versed in all aspects of the marketplace.  My reputation within the industry is well-known and well-respected. 

My knowledge and commentary on the numismatic marketplace has been quoted in Coin World, Numismatic News, CoinWeek, The PCGS Rare Coin Market Report, The Numismatist, and in the industry standard - the Coin Dealer Newsletter.

No matter what challenges you are facing - I can help YOU!
