In this episode of Hard Money Matters on AM 930, host Kyle Warren and John Maben of Pegasus Coin and Jewelry discuss the intricacies of coin collecting and precious metals, focusing on verifying dealer legitimacy and leveraging technology. Maben explains the lack of official registries for numismatists, suggesting credibility checks through affiliations like the Professional Numismatist Guild, years in business, and customer reviews. He advises caution at coin shows, emphasizing the importance of trusted relationships to avoid shady deals. The conversation also covers the joy of collecting, innovative products like the Vault Combi bar for affordable gold investments, and skepticism toward Texas and Florida’s moves to make gold legal tender, citing increased regulation risks. Maben discourages remote evaluations via text or email due to the need for hands-on coin assessment, reinforcing the value of in-person appraisals at Pegasus in this unregulated market.
