As the clang of old coins reverberates through history, we sit down with Matthew Tavory, a coin dealer with a penchant for the tales told by shipwreck and siege coins. Remember that wheat penny you might have found as a kid and the rush of excitement it brought? Well, Matthew's childhood fascination with coins has navigated him through history's choppy waters, leading to a treasure chest of knowledge. Together, we explore the drama and urgency captured in the metal and craftsmanship of coins from bygone eras, which, like silent witnesses, recount stories of desperation and survival.
The episode takes a darker turn as we unearth a segment of Dutch history stained with political strife and bloodshed, featuring the de Witt brothers' tragic end—an event that still sends shivers down one's spine. From the grisly past to the precision of the present, I peel back the curtain on my days grading coins at NGC, revealing the art and science behind the process that distinguishes a Silver Eagle's grade. This is where history's whispers meet today's scrutiny, ensuring that the coins you collect bear the mark of authenticity they deserve.
We wrap up with the murky depths of counterfeit coins and fake certificates— a cautionary tale that underscores the importance of provenance when diving into the numismatic market. Our chat also touches on the innovative ways Matthew sails through coin sales using Instagram, a platform that's proven to be a treasure map for collectors. Plus, a quick detour into sports talk reminds us that even amidst the luster of the past, the present holds its own adventures. Join us for this numismatic journey, where coins tell their stories and history comes alive in our hands.
