Love dealing with Mark & Kathryn. I know I will get the item I paid for & it always arrives packed for protection & in good time. Somehow they can have your package posted before other businesses have even found time to acknowledge … More a sale.
I highly recommend The Purple Penny.

I’ve recently had a number of dealings with The Purple Penny. They’ve all been very positive.
It’s rare to find a coin dealer that is actually forthcoming with their knowledge and open and honest. The people at The Purple Penny have … More always given me their best advice even if it could potentially cost them a sale.
This is tremendously rare in numismatics circles and it hasn’t gone unnoticed by me. They have a vast knowledge of numismatics and a true love of it. I have nothing but positive things to say about them and wish them every success in the future. I will no doubt be back very soon to buy more products from them. ,
