Imhof, a
co-founder of Pinnacle Rarities in Lakewood, Washington, is a former Chairman
of the Industry Council for Tangible Assets (ICTA) and a member of the Consumer
Protection Committee of the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG). Well-known
in the profession for numerous transactions involving famous and finest known
numismatic rarities, he will oversee private treaty sales at Heritage beginning
May 15, 2006.
"Todd has one of the best personal and professional
reputations in numismatics. With his impeccable integrity and professionalism,
he is a trusted advisor to many of the largest, most sophisticated coin
collectors in the country," said Greg Rohan, Heritage President.
In
1993, at the age of only 25, Imhof became one of the youngest dealers ever
accepted as a PNG member. He served as ICTA Chairman from 2002 to 2005.
Although he originally did not intend to become a rare coin dealer, his
numismatic career began in 1991.
"I studied international finance in
college and had accepted a position with a major Wall Street bank. But through
a couple of twists of fate, I deferred my employment in New York to join a high
school classmate's company, Hertzberg Rare Coins, in Tacoma, Washington. I
quickly acquired an appreciation for the history and artistry of coins, and
more important, I found I loved dealing with collectors," said Imhof.
In 1991, he acquired assets of Hertzberg and co-founded Pinnacle Rarities with
Kathleen Duncan.
"Since then, I've specialized in high-quality, rare
U.S. coins, working closely with savvy collectors, connoisseurs and investors
who are assembling many of the largest and most prestigious collections. I'll
be eternally grateful for the business, support and friendship of so many
people over the past 15 years," Imhof stated.
He and wife, attorney
Heidi Imhof, have two sons, Nicholas, 5, and James, 4. The Imhofs have been
active supporters of many civic and charitable organizations in the
Seattle-Tacoma area.
In addition to his enjoyment of coins, Imhof
collects Olympic medals and fine wines, and is an avid, competitive
sailor.
