ABOUT US

 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. In addition to publishing several online and auction catalogs per year, Dan is a regular vendor at major international coin shows, including FUN, CICF, and ANA. Until early 1996, Dan 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. Dan 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-Barneche, 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 July of 2008. Augi manages the website and handles photography, advertising, research and coin and artifact conservation. Augi has been working with shipwreck material since 2001, and in 2007 he published the book The Macuquina Code to assist fellow researchers with "treasure" terms that appear in Spanish. Augi's next work (soon to be published) is about the silver "tumbaga" bars of ca. 1528. A native of Argentina, Augi speaks and writes fluent Spanish and English. He is also a member of the American Numismatic Association and Florida United Numismatists.
