About Our Founder and President

Barry Stuppler, a 45+ year veteran in the rare coin & precious metal community, is one of the nation's most well known and highly respected coin dealers. Currently the president of the California Coin and Bullion Merchants Association, Barry is very active in many other well-respected organizations in the numismatic industry, as well; the Professional Numismatist Guild (PNG), the Industry Council for Tangible Assets (ICTA), and the American Numismatic Association (ANA) to name just a few.

As a member of the exclusive Professional Numismatist Guild (PNG) since 1972, Barry strictly adheres to a strict code of ethics set forth by the PNG. PNG membership is an honor and privilege restricted to the world's most highly respected dealers. Admittance is voted upon by the membership and every PNG member must be a major force in the industry. Barry was elected to the PNG's Board of Directors in 2009.

As co-founder of The Industry Council for Tangible Assest (ICTA) in 1982, Barry continues to serve on its Board of Directors. ICTA serves as the national trade association for all dealers, collectors, and investors.

The American Numismatic Association (ANA) is the world's largest numismatic organization, with over 30,000 members. Barry was elected ANA President for the 2007-2009 term and in the eight years prior, he served as Vice President, and sat on the association's Board of Directors.

Barry was also a co-founder and President of the Gold and Silver Emporium. After the company was purchased by Goldline International, Barry became the firm's managing director until he founded Stuppler & Company, Inc. (MintStateGold.com's parent company) in 1995.

Barry Stuppler has also been instrumental in building many multi-million dollar, superlative-condition collections and Registry Sets.

A few of them are...

The Kaufman Collection of Proof Seated Liberty Silver Coinage. It sold at auction during 2007 and 2008 for more than $10 million.

The Snap Daddy Collection of $20 Saint Gaudens gold coins (1907-1933). This superb condition collection is the #1 set on the NGC (Numismatic Guarantee Corporation) Registry.

The A&A Illinois Set of Morgan silver dollars (1878-1921) and Peace Silver Dollar (1921-35) . Both are #1 sets on the NGC Registry.

The LuLu's Walking Liberty Set (1941-1945). This is the #1 collection on the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) Registry.

• Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation
• The United States Postal Inspector
• Los Angeles District Attorney's Office
• The Federal Trade Commission

• Morgan Stanley

Appointed to the California State Quarter Commission by Governor Gray Davis in 2003, while serving on that board, Barry helped select and approve the design for the California State Quarter. More than 500 million twenty-five cent coins with the approved design were released for circulation in 2005.

He published "The Coin Connoisseur" magazine from 1997 to 2001 and his articles and editorials have appeared in virtually every industry publication. Barry also created CoinStats, an in-depth statistical analysis of popular rare coin series for investors, exclusive to "The Coin Connoisseur" magazine.

From 1995 to 1999 Barry hosted a weekly radio show called "Real Money" on KWHY-TV in the Los Angeles Area. He is also a frequently-invited guest expert for the mainstream media.
