I have been purchasing large Masonic Token collections recently and have been listing each token on my Numismatics with Kenny eBay store. More than a thousand tokens will be listed including tokens from Chapters from every state. I expect the first 800 tokens, from the present collection, will be listed by September 1, 2023. The remaining by mid-month. Follow my store to be notified about the new listings being added.
Masonic penny tokens are extremely popular to collect. Past collections I have listed, sold out very quickly. Personally, I love the designs and added some of the tokens to my own collection.
I do combine ship to save you money on shipping cost. While you are visiting my store, please take a look at my other numismatic items. Use the category links on the left side of the page for easier navigation as well as the search bar.
2023 American Numismatic Association Board of Governors Election
I participated in the ANA’s Candidate Forum. If you have not had a chance to view it, I am including the link here: https://youtu.be/2gik8YHw8pg
I am running for one of the seven ANA Governor positions and sincerely ask all ANA members for their vote when the ballots are sent in late May or early June of this year. For those of you who do not know me, here is a little bit about me.
My numismatic passion began when I was eight years old. Within two years, I was a member of five local coin and currency clubs as well as a young numismatist (YN) ANA member. In 2013, I received the first of several ANA Summer Seminar scholarships and have had the good fortune of attending every summer seminar since then. The seminars have allowed me to build wonderful relationships with many of the top numismatists around the country as well as making friends with hundreds of collectors.
Eight years ago, I began promoting my numismatic interest on several social media platforms and now have thousands of followers worldwide. This outreach has introduced me to many serious collectors, as we trade thoughts about collecting.
In 2019, I began as a part-time show dealer. In May of that year, I opened the Numismatics with Kenny eBay store. Thanks to my loyal and new customers, I have sold over 27,000 numismatic items.
Also in 2019, the ANA announced I was selected the Young Numismatist of the Year, such a great honor. The ANA also chose me to be the first YN Volunteer District Representative in its history. Through my social media efforts, attending coin shows manning the ANA booth and including ANA membership applications with each of my eBay sales, I am doing my best to promote the ANA.
Last year, the ANA asked three other young adult collectors and myself to write articles for the column opened up by the retirement of Q. David Bowers. As it has been a goal of mine to follow in the steps of Messrs. Bowers and Ken Bressett, I was thrilled to participate.
I have had multiple internships with NGC and plan to make numismatics my career when I graduate from Seton Hall University, Stillman School of Business in 2024.
Lastly, I give a special thank you to my mentors. Their encouragement played a key role in my embracing the hobby.
If elected Governor, I will represent the collector, dealer, and most importantly the young numismatists. If we all work together, we can grow this exciting and special hobby.
Thank you for taking time to view the forum video and your vote for me.
I know I have not written an article in a long time. Right after finishing up my sophomore year at Seton Hall in May, I flew down to Sarasota to begin my second summer internship at NGC. Finished up last week and once again, I had a great time while increasing my numismatic knowledge. Mr. Rick Montgomery, President of NGC, and the entire staff made me feel welcomed. I hope to go back during my Christmas vacation.
During the internship, I had an opportunity to attend one week of the ANA’s Summer Seminars. It was my sixth Summer Seminar and I highly recommend all numismatists make it a point to add it to your bucket list of things to do.
While at the Summer Seminar, I purchased approximately 160 books during the ANA Library book sale. Many of those books have been listed on my eBay store. I invite you to take a look.
In regards to my eBay store, I just created a new category – So-called dollars. I have the pleasure of working with a well-known so-called dollar collector and dealer. Each month, I plan on listing up to 80 so-called dollars. The first 20 have just been listed. If you collect so-called dollars, I invite you to visit my store and follow it so you are notified when new listings go up.
Lastly, during the next two weeks before my junior year begins, I will be listing approximately 100 world and US coins, numismatic books, a lot of exonumia, and some bullion each day.
I am excited to share more than 19,000 items totaling over 21,000 coins, books, and exonumia have been sold since I opened the store three years ago. I truly appreciate all of you who have purchased items.
My latest article will be appearing in The Numismatist next month. Hope you will read it.
Thank you for visiting my numismatic coin vlog/blog. This first post is the introductory post to the site. I have updated it over the years. To view all of my latest postings, simply scroll down past this post.
Until recently, I was considered a Young Numismatist (you become an adult in the numismatic world when you reach 18). My love for collecting coins began more than 10 years ago. Like many numismatists, numismatics has become a passion for me. It does not matter whether its purchasing coins, reading about coins, or discussing the hobby with other collectors, I enjoy it all and hope more young people become young numismatists.
I am a Life Member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and a member of 5 local coin and currency clubs as well as more than fifteen national and international numismatic clubs and societies. The hobby has given me the opportunity to make a great deal of new friends and I look forward to adding new friends from around the country and the world.
In 2019, the ANA named me the Young Numismatist of the Year. I am truly grateful to the ANA not only for the honor but how they are spending a great deal of time and effort promoting the hobby, especially to kids. If you are not a member of the ANA and would like to join, send me an email and I will email you a membership form along with the club benefits: My email address
This blog will include recent articles and videos on coins, anything numismatic readers would like to share, and videos I have created on coins and collecting. Additionally, I have made a number of world coins videos and collection videos of both silver and gold coins. I also made unboxing videos of coins I purchase online or my father brings me from his many business trips. Look for my educational videos created with the help of local seasoned numismatists and videos I create while attending the ANA summer seminars. You are allowed to laugh at my cracking voice during my earlier videos made as a young teenager.

Here are links to my other numismatic social media accounts:
Here is the introductory video to my youtube numismatic channel. I would greatly appreciate it if you would visit my free numismatic youtube channel and while you are there, take a minute to subscribe.
I am also a volunteer district representative for the ANA. As I noted above, please feel free to email about any questions you have about the benefits of joining the ANA. I would be pleased to send you an application form. If you are a young numismatist, the ANA has special discounted membership rates and a lot of great activities.
The ANA has sent all members (must have been a member for two years) their 2023 American Numismatic Association Board of Governors ballot. You can vote online or mail your completed ballot, so it arrives by June 30, 2023. Instructions are included with the ballot.
There are 12 excellent candidates running for the seven open Governor positions and I am one of the Governor Candidates. I would greatly appreciate your vote. I have included my bio below.
The ANA conducted a candidate forum several weeks ago. You are welcome to click on this link to watch the forum as candidates discussed their thoughts on how they would enhance and grow the association. https://youtu.be/2gik8YHw8pg
Additional candidate information can be found in the June issue of The Numismatist.
I am excited to announce I will be running for one of the ANA Governor positions this summer. Now through the end of February is the nomination period. I am asking those who are familiar with me and would like to have me on the ballot, to please go to money.org/election and print out the nomination form and mail it to the address at the bottom of the form.
It has been my intention to run for a Governor position in a few years however, I have been recently contacted by several leading numismatists suggesting I run this year.
Over the past eight years, I have attended the summer seminar each year except for the pandemic years, served as the first youth volunteer District Representative, ran the YN summer auction one session, write for The Numismatist, and was selected as the 2019 Young Numismatist of the Year. Additionally, I am a member of numerous coin clubs and associations around the world, and I have been very active on social media for 10 years discussing different aspects of numismatics while doing my best to introduce coin collecting to as many as possible.
My eBay store and setting up as a dealer at shows along with my collecting passion has given me insight to both sides of the table – the seller and buyer. I believe I can represent both and share my thoughts to make our hobby even better with the ANA’s assistance. A key part of my platform is to engage the potential younger collector as well as young adults through social media. It is imperative that we grow our great hobby. We need to do a better job at introducing and attracting younger generations to numismatics.
I believe it is time I give more back this great organization. Your nomination now and your eventual vote this spring would greatly be appreciated.
My Christmas break is just about over and will be heading back to Seton Hall University to begin the Spring semester. NGC was kind enough to invite me back for my fourth internship over the holidays and I capped it off by visiting the FUN show in Orlando. During my four internships at NGC, I have gained a lot of numismatic knowledge while becoming friends with some outstanding people. I am looking forward to heading back down to Sarasota this summer and thank NGC for the opportunity.
I have spent the past week purchasing a great amount of new inventory for my eBay store. Added more than 500 listings over the past few days including US and world coins, exonumia, a little bit of currency and some collector bullion coins.
I have marked down all numismatic books 70% and US and world currency 15%.

As the holiday season begins, Numismatics with Kenny eBay store is rolling out our Black Friday sale which begins today and runs through December 4, 2022. All numismatic books are 50% off and a significant number of listings are up to 15% off.
I have added and will continue to add hundreds of Masonic Tokens and So-called dollar listings as well as many new US and world coins, medals, tokens, bullion and currency listings.
Now is a great time to add to your collection or to purchase gifts for friends and family members who collect. Check out my tokens and medal’s categories to find interesting items to gift to young collectors who are beginning to show an interest in collecting. World coins and exonumia collecting began my passion for the hobby when I was younger. There are so many subjects exonumia and world coins cover that you are likely to find items that will appeal to everyone. I personally enjoy the history behind US and world coins.
12% of my buyers are international. Be sure to purchase early so your items arrive by the holidays. I use eBay Global shipping for international buyers.
All purchases are normally shipped to my customers within 24 hours. The items are well packaged, so your items arrive safely.
I recently created a bargain category to make collecting affordable for everyone. In the coming weeks, hundreds of more items will be added to the bargain category. No matter what your collecting budget may be, I am sure you will find items of interest.
Just added over $25,000 in new numismatic listings to my eBay store. US and World coins, exonumia, world sets, and some bullion.
