PROTECTING COIN AND BULLION BUYERS & SELLERS

DAVID CRENSHAW

David Crenshaw, executive director of the National Coin & Bullion Association (NCBA), has been immersed in numismatics since discovering his first blue Whitman folder at age 10. A lifelong hobbyist turned advocate, Crenshaw has served the community as a dealer, club member and champion for collectors and businesses nationwide. Since joining NCBA in 2013, he has modernized its digital presence and led legislative efforts to secure tax exemptions and promote the hobby across the country. His leadership builds on years of industry experience, including his role managing major coin expos with Whitman, and has earned him numerous honors for his contributions to numismatics.

What does the National Coin & Bullion Association do?

At the National Coin & Bullion Association, or NCBA, our mission is to protect and promote the interests of the numismatic and precious metals bullion communities. We've been doing this work for over 40 years. As the industry's watchdog, we focus heavily on maintaining a favorable legislative and regulatory environment—both at the federal level and within individual states.

We work closely with policymakers, providing them with the insight and expertise they need to make informed decisions that affect our members and the broader industry. We also serve as a central resource for our members, helping them navigate legal and regulatory changes, and giving them the tools they need to stay compliant and successful in a complex and often shifting environment.
