Oslo Myntgalleri

Oslo Myntgalleri A/S is a Norwegian numismatic business established in 2012 for the sale of coins and banknotes both over the counter and at auction. Operating from a shop in Oslo, it has grown into what it describes as the leading auction firm for coins in the Nordic region, combining a retail store, a valuation service and a regular programme of online and major auctions. The company's core activity is the buying and selling of collectible coinage. Its stated specialities, beyond Norwegian coins, are other Scandinavian coins, ancient coins, European coins, gold coins from around the world, medals and paper money. The retail side of the business offers individual pieces and collections, with prices quoted in Norwegian kroner, while the auction side handles consignments from collectors and estates and sells them through timed internet auctions and larger 'storauksjon' sales. Oslo Myntgalleri also provides free appraisals of collections at its Oslo shop and buys collections and single objects for immediate settlement. It publishes articles and auction news on its website, covering topics such as exhibitions and upcoming auction dates, and it maintains a presence in the wider numismatic community. In May 2016 the firm became a member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN), reportedly as the only coin dealer in Norway to hold that membership. The business is organised as a Norwegian limited company (aksjeselskap, A/S). It is privately held and no parent company or listed status is recorded. Its operations are centred on Oslo, with auction logistics handled partly through a Haugesund department, and its customer base extends across Scandinavia and the international collector market.

Oslo Myntgalleri A/S was established in 2012 as a Norwegian business for the sale of coins and banknotes, both over the counter and at auction. From its base in Oslo it developed a dual model combining a physical coin shop with a regular auction programme, serving collectors in Norway and abroad. A significant step in the firm's development came in May 2016, when it became a member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN). According to Norwegian Wikipedia, it was the only coin dealer in Norway to hold that membership, a distinction that reinforced its reputation for professional standards in the trade. Over the following years the company expanded its auction activity, running timed online auctions alongside larger major auctions. Its website carries a shop section listing individual coins with grades and prices in Norwegian kroner, an auction section with results and practical information, and an articles section covering numismatic topics and events. Auction logistics have at times been handled through a Haugesund department, from which objects are packed and shipped, while customers can also collect purchases in Oslo. The firm describes itself as the leading auction company for coins in the Nordic region and emphasises its knowledge, experience and trustworthiness. Beyond Norwegian coins, it lists specialities in other Scandinavian coins, ancient coins, European coins, gold coins from around the world, medals and banknotes. It offers free appraisals at its Oslo shop and buys collections and individual objects for prompt settlement, positioning itself both as a dealer and as an auction intermediary for collectors and estates.
