Sean Ryan (Ryan Rare Coin) Full Coin Dealer Interview | Long Beach Expo 2025

Описание: At the Long Beach Expo 2025, I sat down with Sean Ryan, founder of Ryan Rare Coin, a Santa Ana-based dealer specializing in shipwreck treasure, early U.S. type coins, and historical bullion. Having attended Long Beach Expo for over 10 years, Sean shares his experience going from collector to dealer, how major coin shows are changing, and what makes shipwreck coins so fascinating.

We talk about his 1666 Bolivian 8 Reales from the 1681 TFM Armada shipwreck, why shipwreck coins are an underrated part of the numismatic market, and how their journey through centuries of maritime history makes them more than just metal—they're artifacts with a story.
