Daniel Frank Sedwick is a full-time dealer specializing in the colonial coinage of Spanish America as well as shipwreck coins and artifacts of all nations and founder of Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC. In addition to publishing several online and auction catalogs per year, Daniel is a regular vendor at major international coin shows, including FUN, CICF, Baltimore Expo and ANA. Until early 1996, Daniel worked in partnership with the late Dr. Frank Sedwick, who began the business in 1981 and became known as a pioneer in the field of Spanish colonial numismatics with his book The Practical Book of Cobs. The fourth (2007) and third (1995) editions of this well-known book were authored and co-authored by Dan, who is also a contributing editor to The Numismatist (the monthly magazine of the American Numismatic Association) and the author of several articles. Daniel is a member of the American Numismatic Association and Florida United Numismatists, and holds a Bachelor of Science degree (cum laude) from Duke University.

Agustín García, better known as "Augi," is also a full-time dealer specializing in Spanish colonial coinage and has been an invaluable addition to the company since June of 2008. Augi manages the website and handles photography, advertising, research and coin and artifact conservation. Augi has been working with shipwreck material since 2002, and in 2006 he published the book The Macuquina Code to assist fellow researchers with "treasure" terms that appear in Spanish. Augi's latest  work "The Tumbaga Saga: Treasure of the Conquistadors," (Now published- Nov 2010) is about the silver "tumbaga" bars of ca. 1528 manufactured during the conquest of Hernán Cortés. A native of South America, Augi speaks and writes fluent Spanish and English. He is also a member of the American Numismatic Association and Florida United Numismatists, and holds an associate degree in visual communications/web design.

Cori Sedwick Downing is relatively new to the coin business, although she grew up with coin stories and pirate treasure adventures as told by her father, Dr. Frank Sedwick. She began her coin career in 2007 when her brother, Daniel, began his auction business. In addition to learning about cobs and Spanish colonial coinage, she is also the family genealogist and is the editor of The Florida Genealogist, the journal of the Florida State Genealogical Society. She studies paleography as well. Cori assists Dan and Augi in managing the office and researching coins and artifacts. She is a graduate of Duke University (1979), with an A.B. in comparative literature, and speaks Spanish. She is also a member of Florida United Numismatists.
