My name is Louis Thomas Di Lauro. I am a specialist in ancient coins, US and foreign coins, paper money, medals and tokens of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by ancient art and history. I was trained as a Classical Archaeologist at Hunter College. It was here that I met Thomas Ollive Mabbott, the renowned Poe scholar, who helped me to get started as a numismatist and introduced me to Hans Schulman, who gave me my first job as an Assistant Auctioneer in his gallery. I lived for many years in Europe, where I refined my skills and broadened my horizons, working with many of the major European firms, including Spinks London and Munzen und Medaillen A.G. in Basel, among others. Over the years, I, with the help of my sons -- Raphael and Louis-Phillipe -- have amassed an inventory of rare books, coins, medals, tokens, and paper money of all varieties, that may appeal to customers of all interests.
