John Kraljevich is striking out on his own, starting a numismatic business named John Kraljevich Americana and Numismatics.

“As a wide-eyed boy of 11 years, I resolved that by the age of 30 I’d be either the Phillies starting third baseman or an independent professional numismatist,” Kraljevich said, citing Q. David Bowers as a role model and mentor.

Kraljevich’s new firm will be based in New York City and specialize in early American historical items. In particular, he intends to work with Colonial, pre-federal, and early U.S. Mint coins up to the introduction of steam; early American paper money; American historical medals and unusual paper and metallic Americana.
