The Academy of Coins© is a group of enthusiastic, like-minded personalities, professional numismatists, each passionate about coin collecting – numismatics – and numismatic education. We see coins as physical artifacts of history we can hold in our hand. Each coin is a beautiful and unique piece of art, science, and industrial manufacturing from and about the people of their time.
We love to educate:
- the general public about numismatics as we promote our hobby and passion,
- coin collectors interested in becoming more successful by learning more about their hobby,
- professional numismatists who want to increase their proficiency in advanced technical numismatic concepts.
Each character in our group has a different specialty in the realm of coin collecting. Collectively, we have tremendous professional experience that we’re excited to share with collectors of all types and numismatists of all levels.

You’ll learn valuable insights that have taken years for our experts to develop. No matter your level, you’ll be a better numismatist when you’re finished with our courses.
