Michael Contursi is on a personal mission to give people access to the rare coin market through thought leadership and education.

Growing up, Michael was surrounded by rare coins and other high-end collectibles.  From an early age, Michael was fascinated by the allure of rare coins, always wondering whose hands these treasures passed through and what was happening around the time period they were made.

While attending college, the nation was attacked on September 11th, 2001 and Michael signed up for the Air Force the very next month.  After four years of service and completing his degree in business management, Michael was offered a position at Rare Coin Wholesalers in 2006, working side-by-side with his father, world renowned numismatist Steven Contursi. 

Since then, Michael has become an expert in his own right and has been personally involved in hundreds of millions of dollars of rare coin transactions. He is greatly humbled to handle some of the most historical and elusive United States rare coins, treasures that have been preserved and passed down for generations by prominent collectors.

As Michael looked to the future, he realized that the rare coin market has a very high barrier to entry with very few investors and collectors having access to this compelling asset class.  Over the last decade, his mission has been to share the expertise and knowledge his family has learned over the last fifty years to help others build and preserve wealth and legacy over generations.
