Warren Mills, Vice President

Vice President and Chief Numismatist of RCNH, Warren has been a coin collector since 1965. He has sold as much as $10 million in coins in a single year.

Lou Roten

Like many involved with coins, Lou became interested in coins at a very young age, influenced by his grandfather. Though his grand-dad was not a collector, he loved American and European history, creating an interest in historical artifacts which included coins of the world. Six years study of Latin and two of ancient Greek in high school, reading Caesar, Cicero, Virgil and Xenophon, led to an interest in ancient coins. Sadly, his entire collection was stolen while still in his teens, though his stamp collection was untouched. College, graduate school, then work took over for many years, traveling to and working in 44 countries for more than 30 years. More recently he taught mathematics and physical sciences at a local university for last ten years. All the while the interest in coins continued until the opportunity came about in early 2014 to revisit this great hobby/avocation and to join RCNH for total immersion in the business, learning from the collective experience of the exceptional professional numismatists at RCNH. Coin interests are early 19th century silver and copper, especially varieties, often a result of expedience and reuse of dies.

Christopher Kahler

Chris has 20 years of experience in the numismatic field. He initially became interested in coins as a boy with his very first purchase, an 1859 Indian Head Cent he bought for $4. That purchase ignited a passion for the hobby that he still has today.

Years later as Chris became more involved in the industry; he decided to turn his passion for the industry into a profession and become a professional numismatist. He set up tables at local and regional shows and made many contacts with other industry professionals while building a loyal customer base. Collectors recognized his uncompromising standard for quality. Chris prizes originality and as a numismatist he is always interested in expanding his knowledge, that is how he came to find RCNH in 2014.

Over the next few years Chris developed a relationship with Warren and Dave, while learning as much as he could along the way. Chris enjoys all aspects of numismatics, but is still passionate about type coins as well as early copper and the Indian Head Cent series.

Donald Severance

Don has been a professional numismatist for over twenty-five (25) years. His interest began originally collecting coins, but then was soon introduced to paper money. Although versed in both, Don’s passion was with paper money. Intrigued by the history, beauty and detail of each piece he researched and assembled an impressive collection of U.S. currency. He eventually formed his own company, buying and selling every type of currency, attending shows across the country and building a client base that trusted and relied on him to find that perfect piece.

In 2000, Don became a contributor to the Standard Guide To Small-Size U.S. Paper Money. Shortly thereafter, Don joined Spectrum Currency as their East Coast Representative. While at Spectrum he traveled the country buying and selling currency and acquiring collections for auction. Don has made many currency discoveries in his career including a new Friedberg catalog number that was chronicled in the Bank Note Reporter. A note that was previously not known to exist.

Don eventually left Spectrum to continue his career working for himself and to focus on his expansive clientele. Don works very closely with Rare Coins of New Hampshire as a Currency Consultant and together we have bought and sold over 7 figures in currency. How can we help you?

Don is a member of the PCDA (Professional Currency Dealers Association), ANA (American Numismatic Association) and FUN (Florida United Numismatist).
