Dale Bunyard is more than a coin dealer — he's a true student of history. A lifelong numismatist, Dale has spent decades building expertise that spans everything from pre-1965 US constitutional silver to ancient Roman Imperial coinage minted over two millennia ago.

"Coins are windows into history. Every piece you hold was touched by someone who lived a completely different world."

Dale is a recognized member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), the Missouri Numismatic Society (MNS), the Ozark Coin Club (OCC), and the Early American Coppers Society (EACS). He is also an active member of the local Poplar Bluff Coin Club, where he has shared his passion for coins with fellow enthusiasts in the community.

His expertise in ancient coinage is especially well recognized. Dale has been published discussing ancient coins and has given formal presentations to numismatic societies, including a notable talk on "Collecting a Type Set of Roman Emperors" to the Ancient Coin Study Group in St. Charles, MO, and presentations on Roman Imperial Coinage and Bactrian Coinage. He has also presented to the Missouri Numismatic Society on topics such as "What it Takes to Start a Coin Club."

Beyond ancient coins, Dale has a deep appreciation for foreign coins and currency from around the world, US coins and paper money, stamps, and precious metals bullion. He and his wife Theresa operate Bunyards Coin & Stamps out of Poplar Bluff — the Gateway to the Ozarks — where Dale grew roots after years of living in Illinois and across the Midwest.

On weekends you'll often find Dale at coin shows across the region — buying, selling, and networking with dealers and collectors who share his passion. He genuinely loves the community that numismatics brings together.

If you have coins, currency, or stamps and don't know what you're looking at — Dale is exactly the person you want to talk to. He loves the teaching aspect of the hobby as much as the collecting itself.
