The $2 ½ Indian gold coin is Ken’s favorite and his passion for coins came from his father and grandfather, who both introduced him to the hobby at a young age. He said he loves the history of coins and how they tell the story of the nation.

“The $2 ½ Indian is one of the most unique coin designs our country has ever produced,” he said. Ken pointed out that part of that story includes how people turned in the coins for destruction due to their incused design, which some believed helped transmit germs. One of Ken’s favorite coin stories involves the redesign to an Open 3 from a Closed 3 on 1873 coins because the Closed 3 made the date resemble an 8.

Ken specializes in multiple types of American numismatic coins but he is also well-versed in helping his clients convert a portion of the retirement funds and 401Ks into gold IRAs.
