Don Rinkor (Rinkor Rare Coins) Coin Dealer Interview | Long Beach Expo 2025

At the Long Beach Expo 2025, I sat down with Don Rinkor, founder of Rinkor Rare Coins, a Santa Rosa-based dealership that has been a staple in the numismatic world for over 30 years. Known for specializing in Deep Mirror Proof-Like (DMPL) Morgan Dollars, high-end Peace Dollars, and other certified U.S. coins, Don has built a reputation as one of the leading dealers in the space.

Having attended Long Beach Expo since the mid-1990s, Don shares his thoughts on the impact of the show, its changes over the years, and what might come next for major West Coast coin events. We also discuss the future of the numismatic market, what makes DMPL Morgans so collectible, and the importance of third-party grading and CAC verification when buying high-end coins.
