Shanna Schmidt Numismatics

Right in the heart of Chicago, just a five-minute walk from the famous Chicago Art Institute, Shanna Schmidt has her elegant coin shop high up in the Willoughby Tower. At Shanna Schmidt Numismatics, customers will find a small but very fine inventory. Although Shanna’s true passion is antiquity, she offers not only exquisite ancient coins, but also very special pieces from medieval and early modern times. Shanna travels the world to collect the best items the coin trade has to offer for her stock. She focuses on select pieces that combine all the things she loves: beautiful aesthetics, excellent quality, and an impressive pedigree.

Shanna Schmidt is one of the most distinguished coin dealers in the world today and has decades of experience. She comes from an internationally renowned dynasty of coin dealers and was introduced to numismatics at an early age. She started her own business in 2016. She attends international auctions, coin shows and conventions and has an excellent network within the numismatic world.

Visitors to her coin shop will therefore find more than a well-stocked store. Shanna Schmidt is a trusted advisor when it comes to building up or selling an exceptional coin collection. She is unbiased, knows many coin dealers worldwide and works closely with them. Among other things, she is in charge of the American branch of NAC.

By the way, for those who love books: Shanna Schmidt is having her extensive library scanned in cooperation with the Newman Portal, and is making all rights-free works available to the numismatic community. She recently acquired the BCD library of auction catalogs and inventory lists of Greek coins. This is the most extensive private library on this subject.
