Seth started collecting coins when he was four. He would place Wheat cents in blue Whitman coin folders given to him by his parents. His collecting interest started getting serious when Seth was 10 years old. Money earned from mowing lawns was used to buy coins at his local coin store, the Edgewood Coin Shop. Seth spent so much time at Edgewood, he was offered a job, and he worked there from the age of 14 through 18.
Seth has been an avid coin collector for more than 40 years. The focus of his collecting efforts are early United States gold coins and all coinage minted at the three San Francisco Mints. When not playing with coins, Seth spends time with his family — his wife and three children.
Witter Coin is an authorized dealer of PCGS, NGC, CAC, and PCGS currency and has one the largest inventories of PCGS and CAC graded coins in Northern California.
