About Us

Greater Milwaukee Coin was founded in 1987 in Milwaukee, WI by Russ Konig, who has been in the coin business for over 45 years.  A few years later, the store was moved to Brookfield, a suburb of Milwaukee.  In January of 1999, our second store was opened in Waukesha, WI by Russ' son Ken Konig.  Both stores have a large selection of coins and a great group of customers.  In 2004 we opened up a 3rd location in Fond du Lac.  This is a buying office, and is open by appointment.

One special item in the Brookfield store is our bid board.  This is a way for collectors to buy and sell coins through a silent auction.  Since 1988, every other Saturday, dozens of coins are sold to the highest bidder.

We are members of a number of coin organizations, including:  The American Numismatic Association, Professional Numismatic Guild, Better Business Bureau, Central States Numismatic Society, Numismatists of Wisconsin, South Shore Coin Club, Milwaukee Numismatic Society, Waukesha Coin Club, PCGS, NGC, etc.

Russ started collecting coins as a small child, and one of his first jobs was at Polzer's coin store in Milwaukee starting in 1960.  During the 1970's and early 80's, he had a thriving coin business attending shows, and supplying hobby stores with coins to sell.  Then in 1987, Russ and a couple other partners started Greater Milwaukee Coin.

Ken also started collecting at a young age, and would go with Russ to hobby stores, and supply some with baseball cards to sell.  During his college years, Ken spent a lot of time at the coin store.  After college, he spent seven years in the insurance industry, helping out at the store or coin shows on weekends.  Since January 1999, Ken has been running the second store in Waukesha, our new Fond du Lac location, and handling most of the internet related business.

We attend a number of coin shows and conventions each year around the country, especially in the Midwest.  See our show schedule.
