Polymath Numismatics
POLYMATH, n. (Greek polymatēs, polumaqh", "having learned much") The knowledge of many arts and sciences; acquaintance with many branches of learning or with various subjects.
Some famous polymaths include: Imhotep, Aristotle, Ibn Khaldun, Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, H.G. Wells & Richard Posner. I myself am interested in Archaeology, History, Philosophy, Politics, Theology and of course Numismatics. I personally collect a variety of different coin types and sell a little bit of everything - which I take a great deal of care in cataloging.

About The Seller . . .
I have had a long time love of things ancient and of coins. My maternal grandfather was a collector of American coins. He sat me down at a very early age with some wheat pennies, buffalo nickels and mercury dimes and taught me how to sort them by date and mintmarks and bought me my 1st Redbook a few years later when I turned 10. I had 2 male cousins who also collected coins and we shared this as boys do when we were young.
I studied Greek and Hebrew at Bethany Lutheran College and also attended Minnesota State University in Mankato, Minnesota where I took a broad smattering of classes on the topics of religion, philosophy, political science and anthropology.
I have been quite active in the collectors rights movement and am a recipient of the ACCG's Exceptionally Meritorious Service Award which I received from Wayne G. Sayles at the 2006 Chicago International Coin Fair for helping gain support for coin collectors rights within the political process in my home state of Wisconsin.

The Polymath Numismatics Difference

How often do you get a photo-authenticity receipt with your coin listing information such as the history, size, weight, grade, attribution, etc without having to pay an extra premium for it? Most (not all) of my sales include one at no additional cost.

Legal-schmegal stuff: I prefer being paid promptly however, Polymath Numismatics has a liberal 14 day payment policy to provide collectors with flexibility in obtaining coins & making payment. The proprietor (Jim McGarigle) realizes that 'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans'. If difficulties arise CONTACT ME! Otherwise, all non-paying bidders will be subject to having an Unpaid Item Dispute filed against them with eBay. |
