About Us - More than coins.
Numismanics.com may have started with coins but tobacciana collectibles and shaving paraphernalia are also some of our frequent favorite finds.
Through the wonder of a child's imagination, my love of hand held history started when I held an old silver Walking Liberty half dollar from my grandpa's coin collection. I looked through his collection and I saw buildings, animals, and people important enough to be memorialized on a coin. I became amazed with the time capsules I held in my hand. The hobby grew into collecting 'smalls' headed for landfills to use for art projects, and evolved into encouraging others to refurbish collectible treasures of the past.
Ever wonder why grandpa's old coat is still in great condition and the one you got last winter already has a tear? It's not your imagination. "They" really don't make 'em like they used to! Planned obsolescence is when manufacturers deliberately make inferior products. Stuff doesn't last as long in order to keep consumers buying more and more, again and again. Part of the Numismanics mission is to keep restorable and upcyclable items out of the landfills by offering cool collectibles for you to refurbish. If you don't have the time or knowhow to refurbish something yourself, our goal is to grow into a resource where you can connect with some like-minded folks who have already done the work for you!
Thank you for stopping by Numismanics.com. Please come grow with us. Restore some hand held history today and keep the landfills for real garbage.
