We were founded in 1963 by Emory M. Robinson, long time hobbyist, coin lover and collector himself. Edgewood Coin Co. opened at 934 Edgewood Ave S, directly next to the Murray Hill Theatre, which he also owned at the time, in its movie-showing days. Edgewood Coin started as a hobby-turned-side business, and become his sole, full time work, selling the movie theatre and eventually expanding the coin shop from 934 Edgewood Ave S, right next door to a then newly-remodeled and bigger venue, 936 Edgewood Ave. S, where we are still today. In his later years in life, when asked when he was going to retire, Emory would say that he was, and had been for years (despite the fact that he was running a business); he was just doing what he loved. He was a pillar and vast depth of knowledge in establishing the coin community as we know it today, especially in our local community. Our current space at 936 Edgewood Ave S, housed his hobbies and interests, from coins, to currency, to long conversations with close customers and friends, to a diverse bank collection, collectible bottles, artwork, and historical pieces displayed high and low. As a family business, family centers as a priority and theme and kids were raised partially within those same walls. Emory was founder and owner of the company, up until his passing in January of 2018, survived by his wife Patsy, who owned and operated it for years but has now retired. The family’s still here, with Emory and Patsy’s daughter-in-law Lisa their son Johnny’s wife, and granddaughters Jessica and Sarah, continuing ownership and management.
