An exciting announcement for / from Pinnacle Rarities

Hot off the press:

Douglas Winter To Join Pinnacle Rarities


We are thrilled to announce that effective January 1st, Doug Winter of Dallas based Douglas Winter Numismatics will merge his business with Pinnacle and move his operation to our offices in Lakewood, Washington.

Winter will become an equal shareholder with Pinnacle's current owners, Kathleen Duncan and Todd Imhof. "Doug is a noted authority in an area of the numismatic market in which we wanted a bigger presence: early and rare-date gold coinage," said Imhof. "In addition, he is very experienced in Bust and Seated silver coinage, and this broadening of our knowledge base will certainly benefit our customers."

Winter is a highly respected author who has published many numismatic reference books. He has received Numismatic Literary Guild awards for his works including: 1997 Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint (Best US Coin Book), his 1999 Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint (Extraordinary Merit) and his works on Type II $20 Liberties (Best Investment Book, 2000) and Type III $20 Liberties (Best Investment Book, 2002). In 2001, Winter received the Significant Contribution to Numismatics Award by the Professional Numismatists Guild.

"I'm really excited to be joining forces with Pinnacle. I have always had great respect for my new partners, Kathleen and Todd, and look forward to working with the other outstanding people there" said Doug. "It's a great opportunity for everyone involved and I believe that our clients will really benefit."

For more information about our merger with Doug Winter or about any of the coins and services we offer, please don't hesitate to contact us.

    I was in a hurry to post / share this news. Now that I've had a few minutes to catch up, I'd like to say.....

    I've known Doug for approximately 20 years, worked with him during part of that time (when I was a young man, not an old guy like I am nowimage), have always respected his knowledge, work ethic and integrity and, am very excited at the prospect of his being part of Pinnacle. image

    << <i>Hmmm - from Florida to Washington....... >>



    The only real difference, (besides the stifling humidity in FL), is that we get our rain spread out over the entire year. In Florida, it all hits in about a week, 2 million gallons at a time.

    It's about time that Doug stopped playing with that old crusty branch mint gold and got back into the real bread and butter coins:
    Liberty Seated and Bust.

    Mark, Its an interesting announcement. An exciting announcement, is when somone gives me an

    expensive coin for free, I get taken out for an expensive dinner or I get a new toy to play with.

    I might even find a dozen jelly donuts mildly stimulating, but a merger..................only interesting.

    Maybe coinguy1 can twist Doug's arm to post here again! image

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Congratulations to you both!

    I've always thought that Doug took collector education seriously, which I know I've appreciated. I hope that he'll continue to post his very informative articles on his/your website going forward.
