Okc Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Position located onsite in OKC- candidate must be willing to relocate to OKC or currently reside in Oklahoma. 

The numismatists are deeply involved in the daily evaluation process of all inventories that are received in the Receiving Department. This evaluation consists of researching these items, determining whether the items should be submitted for third-party independent grading, should be sent to auction, should be wholesaled, or added to inventory. This position works under the Director of Numismatics to consistently keep products moving quickly from Receiving, through the Evaluation area, and onto the APMEX website. Numismatists spend a significant portion of their time reviewing the physical inventory, such as looking for higher quality items, and/or better dates where we can exceed traditional bullion margins. Numismatists also spend a significant portion of their time using proprietary software to manage the life cycle of their inventory to ensure both customer facing and internal goals and metrics are being met. An experienced numismatist will be called upon to attend coin shows in both local and national locations. They will also be called upon to assist with preparing purchase orders and packaging inventory at coin shows.
