One of the world’s most famous numismatists is undoubtedly Mike Byers. He has been in this line of work for 40 years. Among dealers working in the United States of America, he is the largest one. This man is renowned for handling U.S. Gold Coins, Patterns, and Rarities and his work is certified by both PCGS and NGC. Dedication to the job can be seen through the fact that he has attended every major coin convention, where he handles significant coin collections. His inventory is extensive, and he is always looking to expand it by adding new coins and collections through ‘want lists.’
From 2000 to 2006 Byers has worked as a consultant at ANACS for Mint Errors. While at Mint Errors he became editor and publisher of Mint Error News Magazine and the Mint Error News Website. The latter one was founded in 2003. In 2009 he published his first book named World’s Greatest Mint Errors which brought him the NLG Award for Best World Coin Book. This book can be bought on amazon.com. In 2016 he featured on Fox News and gave an interview on the subject of mint errors.

The list doesn’t end here as Byers is also member A71 in the Certified Coin Exchange (CCE) and a member of CDN Exchange (BYRS).
His long history in coin business started early, as he attended his first coin show when he was only six. At 17 he already had issued his first coin catalog. At the U.S. Gold Coins, this man is regarded as Market-Maker and a dealer in major mint errors.
