George Marley, the owner of The Coin Market, LLC began
collecting coins in the early 1960’s when he was a youngster. The
love of coins has never left him. He began running ads in local
newspapers buying coins in the early 1970’s and moved to
Lynnwood in 1977 and became a partner in his first coin shop
venture (JD Coin). After selling the shop in 1981, he spent
several years traveling the west coast buying coins at shops from
Seattle to Southern California. During this time he attended most
of the larger coin shows throughout the country and personally
knows scores of national dealers. He opened his second shop
(The Coin Vault) in his home town of Yakima in 1985 and sold it in
1989 and went to work for the largest dealer in Spokane
(American Coin & Vault). After moving back to Lynnwood in
2002, he worked for 2 1/2 years for prominent northwest
wholesale dealer Gene L Henry before opening The Coin Market
in early September of 2005. George became a member of the
Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association (PNNA) in the 1970's
and became a Life Member in the American Numismatic
Association (ANA) in 1988.
Russ Ridderbusch who joined the team at The Coin Market in
late March 2006 was born and raised in the area and has also
been collecting coins since he was a youngster. And get this, he is
a 3-time Seattle Chess Club Champion! He and George worked
together at JD Coin in the late 70's and early 80's and Russ
managed the newly named Lynnwood Coin Galleries for the new
owner when George sold his interest in 1981. Since that time,
he's worked on his own buying and selling coins at many of the
coin shops, coin shows, and pawn shops in the Northwest. Plus,
Russ is a Life Member of the ANA as well.
Sarah Patterson joined our staff in November of 2007. Among
her many duties, she'll be helping out at the counter working with
our customers, helping to work up of coins we purchase, and
managing our supply and B.U. single coin inventories. She is also
our primary buyer of scrap silver and scrap gold. She's brand new
to the coin business and is looking forward to learning all aspects
of dealing in coins. In addition, Sarah is a new member of the
ANA. She is a very welcome addition to our staff.
George and Russ each bring over 30 years of knowledge and
experience to the business. Both of these guys love coins and
working at The Coin Market is the logical culmination of many
years learning and dealing in coins. The goal is simple, provide
the local collector a friendly and fair place to buy and sell coins
and bullion…and have fun doing it! You'll be treated with respect
and fairness when dealing at The Coin Market.
