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.
