My name is Marc
Michaelsen, owner of Marc Michaelsen, Inc, a full time coin and currency
dealer here in sunny South Florida. We buy and sell rare coins, rare
currency and precious metals. - I’ve been involved in Numismatics since
I was a kid. I’ve been a full time coin dealer since 1989. My real
passion lies within the currency field and the specialty area of high
denomination notes. This website is the culmination of my experiences in
the field.
It’s difficult to discuss accomplishments without sounding like a
braggart, so here’s the short version: I’ve been actively dealing in
high denoms since 1992. My most significant exposure to these notes was
while I headed up the numismatic department at Panther Precious Metals,
Inc in Boca Raton, FL. - In all modesty, there are less than a handful
of people who have bought and sold as many $500 and $1000 bills. I’ve
handled well in excess of ten thousand pieces of just these kind of
notes in the last ten years. I’ve bought and sold dozens of $5,000
and $10,000 FRNs. Additionally, I’ve assembled several of the finest
known $500 and $1000 district sets for all three series - 1928, 1934 and
1934A.
Regarding data collection, I have one of the most comprehensive
databases of $5,000 and $10,000 serial numbers recorded / reported. I
also collect data on $500 and $1000 star notes, with a census close to,
if not, the most complete in the country - I wouldn’t have any of this
without the friends (both dealers and collectors) who have helped me
along way. Relationships are what this business is all about. Those who
know me know I don’t normally “blow my own horn” like this. I’d rather
let my peers speak for me.
These days I have the new firm Marc Michaelsen, Inc and
highdenomination.com. Both are growing fast and gaining wide acceptance.
My start up was in the latter part of 2004 and I’m looking forward to
the challenges that lie ahead. I continue to deal in rare coins,
currency and precious metals. My primary focus however still remains on
high denomination notes. I wish the reader the same pleasure and fortune
that I’ve had from handling these wonderful banknotes.
