Three-quarters of a century. Diamond anniversary. Diamond jubilee. Seventy-five years. No matter which way you slice it, that is a massive achievement! SilverTowne will be observing its 75th Anniversary in 2024 and we intend to celebrate it all year round.
Founded 75 years ago in 1949, newly married Leon and Hamie Hendrickson started their life and business together partnering with her parents to own and operate the Rainbow Restaurant in downtown Winchester, Indiana. Leon’s interest in coins would begin at the popular eatery collecting change in a cigar box under the counter. Today, SilverTowne has grown into a multi-million-dollar business.
From operating the business in the basement of the Hendrickson family home in 1967 to expanding into a new facility just steps away in 1980, Leon and his son David would help grow the business over the next four decades and expand operations, including venturing into smelting and custom minting silver bullion in 1985 and purchasing the longest running coin show on television, The Coin Vault, in 2008.
Leon and his beloved wife Ruhama prided themselves on building a company with a firm foundation of honesty and integrity. Leon always believed a person could be trusted by a handshake. With four generations having worked or currently working for the business, SilverTowne continues to thrive on strong family-oriented practices and continues to serve customers from all over. Over the past 75 years, the company has grown into one of the country’s largest and most respected dealers of rare coins, modern coins, and precious metals.
“What an achievement,” Brock Abel, CEO/Owner/3rd Generation Numismatist, says. “It truly shows great family values. We appreciate every single customer.”
While we will be celebrating and honoring such an achievement all year round with special deals, our grandest celebration will come in the form of a specially minted silver bullion design! To help us kick off our 75th Anniversary, we will offer our most popular design of the Buffalo Replica 1oz .999 Fine Silver Medallion. HOWEVER, this year’s design will feature a custom privy mark on the obverse commemorating the occasion. Offered in 1pc, 3pc, 5pc, 10pc, 20pc, 100pc, and 500pc lots, the design will be limited to 2024 and be the ONLY Buffalo Replica 1oz silver medallion available. This special piece will be a beautiful addition to your stacks and will be highly collectible with its limited nature!
Stay tuned all year long for all special deals and anniversary celebrations to come!
