Focus on Numismatic Financial Corporation

by Susan Shalhoub

Numismatic Financial Corporation (NFC) has returned to its roots in Maitland, where it was founded in 1990 by Timothy Carroll.

The company specializes in the buying and selling of coins, rare currency, and precious metals. In 2001, NFC moved to Winter Springs but returned to Maitland in 2023. Timothy is proud to be back in the city where he started, offering quality service to customers. 

When he was in his 20s, Timothy became interested in the designs, denominations, and metals of numismatics (the study or collection of coins). As his interest grew, Timothy began attending coin shows and started his own business.

“Now, NFC is the largest numismatic dealer in the Southeast,” he says, “offering an extensive inventory of rare coins and bullion.” 

The company deals mostly in collectible U.S. silver coins minted before 1964 and gold coins minted before 1933. 

Last year, Timothy and business partner Matthew Kleinsteuber were included in Coin World magazine’s issue of The Most Influential People in Numismatics. And in 2022, NFC was named one of the 100 most influential companies in the field. 

Timothy and Matthew are always happy to give customers their two cents on coin collecting. Here’s a tip from them that’s worth banking on: Don’t always believe what you read on the internet about a collection’s value. Instead, check with the professionals at NFC for a thorough appraisal.
