George Marley, the owner of The Coin Market, LLC was born in
Yakima and is a graduate of Washington State University. He
began collecting coins in the early 1960’s when he was a youngster
and has never lost his love for coins. 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 coin shops from
Bellingham to Southern California. During this time he attended
many of the larger coin shows throughout the country and 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 and later owned the newly named Lynnwood Coin
Galleries 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. He deals in
all U.S coins and currency and foreign coins and currency as well.
Russ is a Life Member of the ANA as well.
Sarah Hoff joined our staff in November of 2007. Among her main
duties are waiting on customers at the front counter, helping to
work up and purchase coins across the counter, and managing our
coin supply, proof and un-circulated single coin inventories, and
proof and mint set inventories. In addition, she is our primary
buyer of scrap silver and scrap gold. She's been here just over two
years, and is learning all about dealing in coins and bullion. Sarah
is also a member of the ANA.
George and Russ each bring over 32 years of knowledge and
experience to the business. Both of these guys plus Sarah 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.
