Jay Parrino's The Mint serves a worldwide clientele of collectors from our headquarters in Kansas City. We have been in the collectibles business for 4 decades and on eBay since 1999 - we are a Platinum Powerseller, maintaining 99.9% positive feedback and one of the highest returning customer rates on eBay. With extensive experience in handling world-class rarities, Jay Parrino’s The Mint has a well-earned reputation of dealing exclusively with “The Rarest and the Finest.™”

Many dealers make claims about being the best, but few can support those claims with any substantive evidence. Our reputation speaks for itself. Under the direction of founder Jay Parrino, The Mint has made headlines and set world records in several areas of collecting. Just a few of the noteworthy items bought and sold by The Mint are shown below - click on any of them for more information:

In the last few years, The Mint has turned its attention and expertise to two rapidly developing markets - U.S. Stamps and Vintage Photography. Both of these media have been around since the mid 19th Century, but recent developments have drastically increased their desirability on the collectibles market (for more information on these developments, see our Reviews & Guides). Jay Parrino's The Mint has the largest, most comprehensive collection of vintage photography on eBay and is the world's largest dealer of certified, graded photos. The Mint's stamp inventory - soon to be unveiled - is second to none in terms of quality and rarity. When you are ready for the best, we'll be here.
