about York coins

York Coins Inc is a New York Corporation, specializing in Roman, Ancient British, Anglo-Gallic, English, Scottish and Irish hammered coins. York Coins is a full service coin retail business focusing on providing the collectors in these areas with a professional and highly personalized service. In addition to offering coins for sale on www.yorkcoins.com  I also regularly attend coin fairs and auctions in both the United States and the United Kingdom and always enjoy meeting collectors at these gatherings.

A native of Yorkshire, England, I have a degree in Archaeology from University College London's Institute of Archaeology. I joined Spink and Son Ltd in London in 1993 as a specialist in British Coins, Tokens and Medals. During this time I contributed to the yearly revision of the Spink Standard Catalog of British Coins, in particular the Ancient British section which I fully revised. I was also a specialist advisor to the Treasure Trove Valuation Committee. In 1998 I was appointed Senior Vice President of Spink America in New York, where as senior specialist I ran and managed the former numismatic and philatelic retail and auction division of Christie's Inc.  In 2002, following Christie's sale of the Spink division I founded York Coins to provide a high level of professional and personalized service to collectors in the areas of numismatics I know and love best.

I am the New York representative for Dix, Noonan and Webb, the London based firm of coin and medal auctioneers.

Please feel free to contact me with any requests, suggestions or questions.

Yours sincerely,
 
Antony Wilson.
