About Us
Thanks for your interest in Gold & Diamond Exchange.
James (Jimmy) Gerstel has worked for over 30 years as a buyer and seller of precious metals and collectible coins. He developed over 100 individual coin collections for Panda America and has bought, sold and traded over 200 million dollars in precious metals and coins in the past 15 years.
He came from a family that owned a jewelry and coin business and his first experience in the marketplace was sourcing raw jewels and precious metals for that enterprise. This soon led Jimmy to a career in trading gold and silver and for the US Mint and eventually with international government mints.
