Alaska Coin Exchange Links

Welcome to the Alaska Coin Exchange links page. I have a few relevant links here that you may find interesting. Some you may have seen before (ANA home page) and some may be new to you (Anchorage Coin Club). Enjoy!

Our first link is to the largest coin club in the United States, the American Numismatic Association. There is lots of information on their site, and you can easily pass quite a bit of time looking around there. I am a life member of the ANA.

Next is our local club here in Anchorage, the appropriately named Anchorage Coin Club. The last several newsletters are posted on the site, which is maintained by chief newsletter editor Larry Nakata. I try to write at least one article for the newsletter every month or two, and a partial archive of my articles can be found on the articles page of this site.

Here is the other website that I run, which focuses specifically on my specialty, Proof coins of the 1817 to 1916 era. I believe these coins are presently undervalued and being ignored in the marketplace, which is fine since that leaves them affordable for those of us that do wish to collect them.

A friend of mine, who I have known since he was a YN (he is just a N now) has set up a numismatics group in the popular website Myspace.

I generally do not like internet forums, as they tend to degenerate into name calling contests. This forum site is a true exception to that rule! This forum is well run, and the participants really enjoy carrying on discussions of a wide range of (mostly) numismatic topics. A very entertaining and educational site - plan on spending a lot of time there looking around!

Here is another forum which looks to be just getting started up as of late 2004. The focus here is exclusively on California fractional gold coins.

Both my websites are hosted by Sheer Web Host. They do a great job and have reasonable rates.

This is not really a link, just an e-mail address. I send every piece of spam that I receive to the government's can spam project. I am not sure how much it helps, or if the can spam project has actually cut down on spam at all, but I remain optimistic that one day some real action will be taken against spammers.

I do link exchanges with websites that look interesting and have relevant content.

Lots of coin investment information available at Coin Today. They are a Numismatic and gold investment portal featuring comprehensive daily news and online resources including price guides and extensive dealer directories.

An interesting new website billed as a Coin Collecting and Numismatics Search Engine.

This website is unrelated to numismatics, but it was created by a part time dealer in Colorado.
