Michael Dixon Rare Coins

Mike's Numismatic Biography 

   Michael Dixon has been a collector since Christmas Day 1964 when his brother gave him a Blue Whitman Lincoln Cent folder. Mike started dealing coins in 1972 under the name "Mike's Coins" in Oak Hill, West Virginia, doing mail order, shows and flea markets. This lasted until 1983 when he joined the United States Army.

   During 1984 and 1985, Mike was a "Vest Pocket" dealer in the Shreveport, Louisiana Area. Moving to Hawaii in 1985, Mike started dealing at the Aloha Swap Meet and doing shows. From there he opened a store outside Honolulu named "Hobbies Unlimited." Mike owned this store until March 1993. Then, he transferred to Fort Knox, KY.

   Once in Kentucky, Mike opened "Hobbies Unlimited" in Radcliff, KY and ran Michael Dixon Numismatics as Mail Order. He operated this store until he received orders for Korea in March 1997.

   Mike packed his store and operated at the weekly show in Yongsan, Korea until his return to the states in March 1998. 

   Since retiring from the Army in March 2003, Mike has been a full time numismatist. He sells at local coin shows, operates live coin auctions, coin shows, and web sales/trades.

Searching for a Particular Coin? 

   If you are looking for certain coins or one particular coin, contact me. I attend shows and have many contacts where I can locate coins for you. This site usually doesn't get updated with new arrivals from shows and coins back from the certification services, as I have many collector's wantlists. So, drop me a note and let me know what you are looking for and I'll do my best to locate it.

Selling Your Coins? 

   If you have coins to sell, please contact me! I buy single coins, sets, coins in blue Whitman folders, raw coins, proof and mint sets, silver, gold, certified coins, basically any United States coins. If your collection contains foreign, send them also. I DO NOT buy single foreign coins. I cannot evaluate a list, so you will have to ship your coins via registered, insured mail for my evaluation and offer. I will evaluate your shipment the day of arrival and send you an offer via e-mail. If my offer is acceptable, I will send an immediate check. Should my offer not be acceptable, I will return your coins in their original holders via registered, insured mail at my expense. No collection is too small or too large!
