About Pirate Gold Coins
Founded by Joe Bissell and JR Bissell, Pirate Gold Coins has become one of the most trusted names in authentic shipwreck treasure, rare coins, and historical artifacts. With decades of combined experience in numismatics and treasure hunting, the Bissell family curates only the finest pieces for discerning collectors worldwide.
Every item in our collection is thoroughly researched, authenticated by leading grading authorities such as NGC and PCGS, and accompanied by full documentation of its provenance and history. From ancient Roman gold to Spanish colonial doubloons recovered from legendary shipwrecks like the Atocha and the 1715 Plate Fleet, we bring history to life.
Our passion extends beyond coins into fine art, dinosaur fossils, crystals, gems, meteorites, and luxury collectibles. Whether you are a seasoned collector or just beginning your journey, we are here to help you find extraordinary pieces with real historical significance.
JR Bissell is also an accomplished artist, known for his pirate paintings, shipwreck art, and tattoo work. His creative vision infuses everything we do at Pirate Gold Coins, from how we present our pieces to how we tell their stories.
