Michael A. Ruggiero is the founder of Associated Coin Buyers. Mike is a graduate of Penn State University and has been in sales for over 30 years.

Mike’s interest in coins started over 40 years ago. He began collecting when his Father brought him home the little blue album for the Wheat pennies. This interest and love of coins has never left him.

Mike has had over 20 years of experience in the insurance industry. He is also a trained counselor and has helped a lot of people through some very difficult times. Mike has also studied the human personality for many years and is quite interested in personality classification. He is an expert communicator and with his well-rounded background, he is the perfect person to guide someone through the sensitive process of selling a coin collection. Selling a collection that might have been in the family for many years is a very personal thing and it takes someone with the personality, experience and concern to make you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
