My father, Ramon de Miguel, founded in 1974 the first coin shop in Geneva.

He is recognized as a numismatic " pioneer " for his contribution in the creation of 
early associations and collectors clubs as well as a participation to the very first 
international coin bourses in Switzerland and Europe.

He has distinguished himself as one of the top experts for spanish and spanish 
colonial coins. Genuineness, varieties or unlisted coins have no secrets for him.

During over fifty years of collecting antiques and coins, R.d.M. has earned a huge 
experience, knowledge, and beyond he has improved the special " feeling " for coins 
that makes a great numismatist.

I owe him all that I know about coins and more important, I have learned from him 
the right collector attitude. I have discovered the love for reference books, patient 
research and a fascination for the lore and historical value of coins.

I have been running the business, since 1999. However, his example and support 
are a key to our family business.

My interest has also focused on gem stones. I graduated at the Gemological 
Institute of America campus in Santa Monica CAL, where I earned a Graduate 
Gemologist diploma in 1992.

Coins, precious stones or objets d'art have concentrated for ages fascination and 
desire in all societies. The privilege of owning such objects is one of the great 
pleasures in life.

I look forward providing with this site a tool for identification, dating and valuation, 
whether interested in the history or the beauty, deciding what to buy or simply enjoy 
a visual experience.
