The numismatic online marketplace MA-Shops announced a triple digit increase in sales to United States buyers over the past five years. From 2017 through 2021, U.S. sales increased by 631%.
MA-Shops features ancient, world, U.S. and modern coins, banknotes, medals, and more sold by top dealers from around the world. It is the online destination of choice for many collectors. The marketplace offers more than a million guaranteed items, real-time inventory updates, and an easy to navigate website also optimized for mobile users.
“We are very pleased with our U.S. revenue growth and the continuing momentum we are seeing in 2022,” said Joachim Schwiening, Founder and CEO. “We have been strengthening our U.S. relationships and welcoming new dealers who are adding diversity and quality to our robust inventory. The vitality of the overall eCommerce economy and our integrated marketing efforts, along with our team of dedicated employees, have helped to make this possible. We also want to recognize and thank our certified dealers for their commitment to and care of our customers, and our U.S. partners including NGC, PCGS, and the ANA.”
According to Schwiening, a coin is sold on MA-Shops.com every 50 seconds.
