Tom Caldwell founded Northeast Numismatics over 50 years ago. In the
years that have elapsed since 1964, Tom has proven his expertise in every
area of US coinage, from rare colonials and patterns to high grade proof
type and gold. In addition to being an ANA life member since 1972 (#1318)
and a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG), Tom is a life
member of the Society for US Commemorative Coins, the Central States
Numismatic Society, Florida United Numismatists, the Numismatic Association
of Southern California, as well as other regional and national organizations.
He has attended every major coin show and auction since the late 1960s, and
can often be seen at shows out for a run in the early morning (he has
completed several marathons). Tom's easy-going personality and casual manner
have made him a favorite personality on the show circuit, both with dealers
and collectors. Tom is a firm believer that an educated collector is necessary
to a strong and sustainable rare coin market, and has taken great efforts to
teach youngsters (and elders) the essentials of coin collecting. In his words,
"There are a lot of dealers in this business for the long haul. I consider
myself a lifer, and we should do what we can to enhance the hobby." Tom's email address is
