Glenn Sorgenstein, owner of Wilshire Coin, has been a dedicated member of the Santa Monica community for 36 years. His store at 1312 Lincoln Blvd., just south of Arizona Avenue, is known for the staff’s expertise and commitment to customer service. They are qualified to buy and appraise coins, collectibles, gold and jewelry, diamonds and gems. They can also help you with foreign exchange before you go on a trip.
Originally venturing into real estate, Glenn found that his true calling was numismatics, the study and collection of coins and currency. This passion not only inspired him, but also laid the foundation for Wilshire Coin, transforming it into a destination for collectors, investors, and individuals looking to sell their valuables. “I’ve always had a fascination with collecting items. I started with coins, but also enjoyed collecting autographs and historical documents,” Glenn explained.
Wilshire Coin is a space where history and investment intersect. Glenn and his team of experts specialize in hard assets, showcased through the team's deep understanding of everything from rare coins and bullion to historical collectibles. “We’re not just limited to coins or what people perceive a coin business to be. We’re far from it. If you visit, you’re likely to see a variety of unique items. Over the years we’ve showcased collectibles from Harry Houdini, John Kennedy, Albert Einstein, and Babe Ruth.”
The staff at Wilshire Coin is committed to supporting the Santa Monica community. After losing his own home in the Woolsey Fire, Glenn wants to assist local families impacted by the recent greater Los Angeles area fires. He understands the emotional and financial hardships that come with such losses and aims to help others recover, replace, or sell items damaged by the fire.
“We want people to know that all is not lost. We can help you locate precious metal thought to be lost, assist with past records of purchases or sales made at Wilshire Coin, and buy items which are thought to be unrecognizable.”
