South Brooklyn Who???

Hi, my name is Frank Sgaglione, I am the founder and owner of South Brooklyn Buying Group LLC. I was born and raised in New York City, specifically Brooklyn, and still reside here to this day. I live a family-centered life, ensuring I spend time with the people I love. I value hard work more than anything and describe my life as an engine that keeps going, fueled by the things I hold dearly.

Coins and Numismatics have been a significant part of my life for as long as I can remember. It all started one summer day when I picked up some change from the floor and noticed that older coins had different designs. Discovering what a wheat cent was sparked my love for Numismatics. When I was younger, feeding this passion was quite challenging. I wasn't born rich, and money didn't come easily. I am entirely self-funded, using money I earned from bussing tables and other jobs to fuel my passion. Opening my own Numismatic firm was a dream come true; in January 2024, I founded South Brooklyn Buying Group LLC.

I cannot imagine my life without Numismatics. Coins are part of my everyday existence, and I constantly strive to find the next great deal—it's the fuel that drives me.

Currently, my main interest lies in coins with strong eye appeal, particularly Pre-33 U.S. gold when I can afford to add a fantastic example to my collection. I also collect other eye-catching U.S. coins and am expanding my knowledge to include U.S. paper money and foreign coins. I am a lifelong learner, eagerly soaking up new information, especially in the Numismatics field that I adore.

As you explore my website, please remember that I am both a collector and a dealer. I have been in your shoes as a collector and work to cater to you, using all available resources to help build your world-class collection. Keeping collectors excited and enthusiastic about Numismatics is one of my top priorities. Supporting this hobby benefits me and helps keep alive what I cherish.
