Howard Frydman

Owner, President & Senior Numismatist Howard Frydman operates the business with major buyers and sellers. Howard has been in the industry for more than 35 years, and he also trades bullion daily. Coin collecting was a popular hobby for children of his era since finding valuable coins in circulation was commonplace. The hobby ranked second among sports and teenage activities and was sidetracked for several years. In 1986, he walked into a bank and saw a “Statue of Liberty” coin set offered for sale by the U.S. Mint. This rekindled his passion for coin collecting and led him to open a mail-order coin company and to advertise in Coin World.

Howard travels to major coin shows across the country, which gives him a wide range of opportunities to view many quality coins and acquire them for his clients and his inventory. He’s been traveling to coin shows for more than 30 years. Indicative of a sight-seen buyer, he selects coins with above-average eye appeal, strike, and luster, and they are superior for the grade.
 

An interesting fact about Howard… He is a Fifth-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate and still practices today. In the past, he has traveled extensively worldwide to compete for the U.S. AAU National Karate Team.
