Who is John B. Hamrick? 1963 when he bought
his first coin shop in Atlanta while still attending the Georgia
Institute of Technology. Prior to the purchase of the coin shop,
Mr. Hamrick was a serious coin collector since 1953 when he
obtained his Boy Scout merit badge in Coin Collecting at the
age of 11. In 1972 John successfully took World Wide Coin Investments
public with a well-known brokerage firm out of Philadelphia,
and the stock was subsequently traded on the Boston Stock Exchange
and the NASDAQ.
By 1975, the companys sales had increased to over $20,000,000
(a substantial sum for the time), and John had already handled
many of the greatest U.S. rarities.
In fact, in August and October of 1972, John purchased the three
greatest U.S. coin rarities of the time: the 1913 Liberty Head
nickel (Hydeman specimen), one of five coins minted; the 1804
silver dollar (Idler specimen), one of thirteen coins known;
and the 1894-S dime, known as the Daggert specimen because superintendent
Daggert of the San Francisco mint gave the coin to his daughter,
Hallie), one of only fourteen coins minted. These coins, especially
since the 1913 Liberty Head nickel was the first American coin
to sell for $100,000, generated over a million dollars in free
publicity over the next few years, opening many doors to new
acquisitions and sales that would not have been generated if
these coins had not been purchased.
Since then these coins have increased unbelievably in value,
with the 1913 Liberty Head nickel selling for a record $1,450,000.00
plus the 10% buyers commission.
