A student of numismatics since age 11, she first fell in love with U.S. coins and the history behind them while attending her first coin show.

She amassed an impressive list of accomplishments during her studies. Sarah assists Heritage clients with their rare coin collections on a daily basis in addition to being a regular contributor to the Heritage Blog.

Rich Adams is joining our Beverly Hills team from Utah, where he has lived for the majority of his life. He developed a passion for numismatics working as a jack-of-all-trades in a large coin shop – responsible for wholesale, appraisals, buying, grading, pricing, of US, World, Currency, Stamps, and an occasional diamond or pocket watch. For his own collection, Rich has a particular interest in world crowns, world gold, and large coppers, all having to do with colonialism and expansionism of the 19th Century and early 20th.  

Rich has recently returned to the professional numismatic world after a hiatus where he completed his Master’s degree in Public Administration. He has degrees in comparative religion, Spanish, and Portuguese. When not studying coins, he is regularly involved in the performing arts, having been a member of the Mormon Tabernacle choir and many musical theatre productions.  

Rich is thrilled to find a new home at Heritage!

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Marc joined one of the two firms that later merged in late 1982 to form Heritage. He is has been with the company without interruption since joining in August, 1975. He founded and oversees the operations of the Heritage Overseas offices, which are now in France (since 1979), Germany (since 1979), Switzerland (since 1984), and the Netherlands (since 1990). The Heritage offices in France, Switzerland and the Netherlands are all run by natives of those countries, coordinating in their own languages through Marc at the German office with the Heritage world headquarters in Dallas. The European offices, under Marc's supervision, in turn offer Heritage services to collectors, consignors and estate executors in their own countries and in their own languages, as well as to banks and Central Banks around Europe and the world.

Mark has been an active and important presence in the rare coin industry on a full time basis, since 1979. He has worked for Steve Ivy Rare Coins, Heritage Rare Coin Galleries (an early incarnation of Heritage Auctions), David Hall, Mark Salzberg, at NGC as a grader, Pinnacle Rarities and as owner of his own numismatic business, Mark Feld Rare Coins.

An avid coin collector from an early age, Mark has been quoted as saying “Numismatics must run in my blood, literally. Numismatic pioneer B. Max Mehl was my grandmother's uncle, and I have always been very proud and respectful of that special connection.” And Mark has backed up those words in his dealings with collectors, as well as dealers, over a period spanning more than thirty years. He has been widely recognized as an outstanding source of numismatic information and collecting advice to countless collectors - a  true collector’s advocate.
