Our story
Some businesses are built for profit. Ours was built for something more.
After years of serving our country, we came home with a deep appreciation for things that hold their value — in gold, in silver, in history, and in people. Bourbon Bullion & Coins started as a passion project born around the kitchen table: late nights researching Morgan dollars and Seated Liberty coins, early mornings at coin shows, and a firm belief that every collector deserves honest descriptions, authentic inventory, and real service from someone who actually cares.
We carry a carefully selected range of gold and silver bullion — bars, rounds, and bullion coins from trusted mints — alongside rare and collectible U.S. coins spanning centuries of American history. Every piece is individually photographed. What you see is exactly what you get.
But the part of this business that means the most to us? Watching our youngest son, Jacob, catch the bug.
Jacob's Vault grew out of his love for Pokémon cards, Funko Pops, and the thrill of the hunt — the same feeling every collector knows. Seeing him build something of his own, develop his eye, and connect with other collectors has been one of the greatest joys of our family's life.
When you shop with us, you're not clicking “add to cart” on some faceless website. You're supporting a veteran-owned small business that shows up, stands behind every item, and genuinely cares about your collection. Whether you're stacking Silver Eagles, chasing a graded Pokémon holo, or hunting a vaulted Funko exclusive — you belong here.
