Columbia County Magazine

Columbia County Magazine interviewed Steve Damron about Clein's Rare Coins (reprinted with the permission of Columbia County Magazine):

“When I was young, I would go into a store in Columbia, South Carolina to buy coins with $10 or $20 that I had earned from mowing lawns,” says Steve. I really like the history associated with coin collecting. I have always been drawn to older coins.”

He shared the hobby with his father, Wayne, who bought Clein's in 2000, and in 2010 Steve moved to the area from Atlanta, where he started a coin company in 1991, to join his father in the business. Currently, Steve runs Clein's with the help of his wife, Teresa, a nurse at Doctor's Hospital, and their daughter, Tricia, who is pursuing her master's degree in nursing.

Clein's, which first opened in 1941, is a full-service U.S. coin shop that offers the sale, purchase and appraisal of coins. “We carry everything the U.S. government has ever produced,” Steve says. Although many coin dealers do not carry ancient coins, Clein's features a variety of ancient and medieval coins in its continually rotating inventory. The shop also specializes in Civil War currency as well as Greek, Roman, Judean, Byzantine,

Crusader and Biblical coins. The shop also stocks U.S. and foreign currency, precious metals and bullion, coin-collecting supplies and reference books.

In addition, Clein’s offers classes such as Coin Collecting 101, Counterfeit Detection, Collecting Key Date Coins, Investing in Rare Coins, Coins of the Bible, and Coins of the Twelve Caesars. Customers range from children trying to fill up penny collection books to collectors that are looking for a rare piece.

“We attend 26 trades shows a year. I go all over the world to find coins for my customers,” says Steve. “When they know what they want and we can find it for them and make them happy, that’s the fun for me.”
