About Allen Rowe:

I have been interested in coins since I was about the age of ten. Spending paper route money on coins was my favorite pass-time at that age. After graduating high school I continued my education at the University of Nevada Reno where I earned my degree in medical sciences. But, coins never got out of my blood. While in college I was buying and selling coins to pay my way. After graduating I had a choice, to continue with a masters degree or pursue my passion, coins. I decided to follow my passion. In 1993 I formed and incorporated Northern Nevada Coin and Bullion, DBA Northern Nevada Coin. 2003 is the ten year anniversary for Northern Nevada Coin and I have enjoyed every moment.

I was not born in Nevada, but have lived here all but eight years of my life. Nevada is home, as I have explored many miles of its beautiful topography. I enjoy many outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking. And we live in a great place for that. I am married and have two children. Prioritizing my life is easy; God, family, and coins.

About Aaron Ware:

In 1994 I was introduced by a family friend into the world of rare coins. Although I had not collected coins previously, I found myself completely captivated by the beauty and artistry of rare coins and paper. I went to work for a coin dealer and just over a year later I opened my own shop.

After seven years I sold my shop and came to work at Northern Nevada Coin. I had known Allen throughout my entire career and felt that he and I could bring a lot of experience and integrity to our customers. I also knew that dealing in the volume and quality of coins that Northern Nevada Coin does would be much more enjoyable and challenging than what I had previously done.

About Lisa W:

Lisa joined Northern Nevada Coin after spending over 17 years as a liscensed veterinary nurse. Commonly referred to as that "smiling voice on the phone", Lisa enjoys working with all of us here at Northern Nevada Coin and especially with our wonderful customers.

About Scott B:

Scott has been fascinated by coins and collecting since 1972. Scott recently became a member of the in-house grading staff and is often referred to as "that quiet, cross-eyed guy in the back..." He's not really cross-eyed, but staring at stacks of coins all day causes him nightmares about boxes and boxes of ungraded Morgan Dollars.

About Dominic M:

Dom is our resident computer nerd/designer geek. He is still pretty green when it comes to coins, but admits having had a few at one point or another. Dom has spent most of the last ten years in marketing and advertising in various capacities, in many diverse industries.

About Sarah P:

Sarah is our latest addition having joined Northern Nevada Coin after graduating high school. Location is everything to Sarah, and she comes to us having grown up in the cold, rainy, Pacific North-West. She admits to having more of an interest in coins when she's broke, but working here is definitely broadening her horizons.
