Shannon started collecting coins as a kid when his father and grandfather used to come back from their overseas travels with coins. The idea that something was rare and valuable beyond the apparent face value fascinated Shannon into a lifelong appreciation for Numismatic rarities. Shannon revamped ParadimeCoins.com in 2018 from a wholesale company to a consumer facing e-commerce which combines a traditional investment outlook with that of Numismatic investments based on rarity, eye appeal, liquidity and grade. Paradime Coins has placed countless rare coins over the past decade and now has grown into an important source for thousands of customers to acquire choice CAC, PCGS and NGC coins, and as a result Shannon was chosen as the 100 Most Influential People In Numismatics 2023 At Paradime Coins, Shannon oversees the company's business priorities, while managing a cross-functional team.
