American Federal
started out primarily as a wholesale dealer in the early 80's. American Federal deals primarily in certified, high quality and rare date coins. Some of the finest known coins have passed through our inventory. By constantly monitoring the market and staying one step ahead of our competition we have consistently made profits not only for ourselves, but also for our clients.

Innovative and Flexible
This is one of the reasons we have become associated with people like Jay Abraham and Dr. Gary North over the past 8 years. American Federal believes in being innovative and flexible in our dealings so we can change with the market instead of constantly battling it. By taking a contrarian view of the market we have been able to take profits for our clients while other dealers were getting their investors in at the top of the market.

American Federal does not believe in jumping on the bandwagon, instead analyzing the market as it moves, selling into strength and buying into weakness. American Federal is one of 150 dealers trading directly on the Certified Coin Exchange and does a large volume of business with other dealers nationwide. In fact, 75% of our business is "to the trade." Because of this we almost always have buyers for our clients when we decide to sell.

Even when the market stagnates, American Federal constantly looks for innovative ways to take advantage of other dealers and collectors individual needs. American Federal and its professional staff has over 40 years of experience in the rare coin industry. Our reputation has been earned by offering only the finest quality coins at the most competitive prices to individual collectors, investors and dealers, where past performance is not a guarantee of future performance.

If you already own coins, this book is intended to explain how you got where your are and what's really happening in the coin, gold, and silver world. Factors including ever-changing markets and increased government regulations will continue to shape the rare coin market. If your coins are worth less now than when you bought them, I will explain how that happened, why it happened, why it isn't completely your fault, and what you can do about it. But if you have not purchased coins or you intend to continue purchasing, I urge you to read this book before you answer any telephone call that might have a marketer/dealer trying to sell you coins. I'll help you understand how buying, selling, and collecting coins and bullion really works.
