JP Ford Coin and Currency owner, Joseph Ford, got his start in numismatics at the age of 5 when he shared his dad's confederate note at a kindergarten show and tell. Now, at age 16, Joseph runs a full service Local Coin Shop in the Myrtle Beach Area.

Joseph's Dad, Walter, has collected stamps, Hess Trucks and other Automobilia, tools and junk. Only once he saw the passion Joseph had did he get into coins and currency. His favorites are Walking Liberty Half Dollars and Large Sized US Currency.
