Rare Coin Wholesalers is a multi-generational family business that handles the most elite and sought-after treasures in the United States rare coin market. We specialize in museum quality trophies and maintain the largest active inventory in the world.  

With over 50 years of experience, our family is a recognized leader in our industry and a primary source for locating these elusive items. Our father/Son team has broken many world record sales, made many significant discoveries, and has always taken a forward looking approach when it comes to our business. Both Steve Contursi and Michael Contursi have been recognized by Coin World as Most Influential People in Numismatics. 

Our founder, Steve Contursi, feels honored to have been the custodian of so many national treasures. Below are a few of these incredible acquisitions:

• 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar- Believed to be the first dollar struck for America
• King of Siam Proof Set- Diplomatic gift from Andrew Jackson to the King of Siam in 1836
• Unique 1787 Brasher Doubloon- First gold coin struck in America by George Washington’s neighbor on 1 Cherry Street, NY
• MCMVII (1907) Proof Ultra High Relief double eagle – Designed by famous American sculptor August Saint-Gaudens in 1907

Due to our firm’s private placement of billions of dollars of U.S. rare coins, we hold a unique market position as we are a trusted resource for many dealers and high-end collectors who are searching for the ultra rare U.S. coins. These relationships have been very beneficial to our firm over the years and we have developed many great friendships.
