Our Story
Big Apple Coins was founded by Jonathan Aminov in the heart of Queens, New York. Our journey began in a small storefront, where our passion for numismatics and a commitment to exceptional customer service quickly set us apart. Driven by a shared vision, we expanded our reach, attending local coin shows and engaging with the vibrant community of collectors.
Our team, comprised of enthusiastic numismatists, brought a fresh perspective to the world of coin collecting. We believed in the power of one-on-one assistance to help collectors build their dream collections, and this personalized approach became the cornerstone of our success. As we grew, so did our reputation for reliability and expertise.
Today, Big Apple Coins is a trusted name in the numismatic world. We continue to uphold the values that started it all, ensuring that every interaction, whether at a coin show, on Instagram, our website, or eBay, reflects our dedication to the hobby and our customers. Our New York roots remain a proud part of our identity as we strive to satisfy every customer 110%.
