I was just on the phone with Mike and learned that he is now on his own.

He doesn't have a website yet, but is working on it. If anyone wants his email address, feel free to PM me. I wish Mike the best of success in his new venture.

    Good luck to Mike!!
    PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows.
    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    I've dealt with Mike too. Really nice guy, as personable as can be. Great photography and excellent coins. I really look forward to his next step in the business.

    Below is a coin I got from him a few years ago...one that IGWT saw in Mike's case and told me about:

    Having done numerous deals with Mike, and with Larry W. LTD. I can honestly say
    some of my favorite coins came from them. They both have my sincerest wishes
    for success in the business. I wish them well !

    Here are some examples:

    Mike will be one of the premier dealers once he gets up and running.

    Honest, straight forward and really knows his stuff...not to mention a pretty darn good photographer.

    I think he will put customer service back in the coin business.

    GOOD LUCK MIKE!!!imageimageimageimageimage

    I hope Mike posts his URL here as soon as he is finished with his website.

    I wonder who will be taking pictures for Whitlow...whoever it is, I don't see how they can be half as good as Mike!

    I would be honestly surprised if anybody could come up with anything bad to say about Mike or Larry. They are each some of the best in the business.

    I have viewed that Trade Dollar in person. The fields are lighter than seen in the images, and the color and overall appearance are much more impressive than the images show. It is easily one of the best looking Proof Trade dollars of any grade that I have ever seen. It is absolutely breathtaking.

    Although I have only met Mike a half dozen times over the years,
    he remembers me each time I see him and occasionally emails me
    telling me that I have first crack at a mid range Barber for my sets
    because my set is deserving of this particular coin. He's never been
    wrong and each coin I have purchased from him is stunning beyond
    belief.

    Best wishes, Mike. Hope to see you in Boston [ stop by table 1521 to say hello
    and to look at some nice Barbers.]
