Littleton Coin Company marks 55th year

Littleton, NH - Fifty-five years ago a husband returned from war to his wife, and set out by train to the northern New Hampshire town of Littleton. A town his wife had selected as the site to begin their future business and home. When Littleton Coin Company was opened on December 3, 1945, Maynard and Fannie Sundman began a journey that took them longer and further than either could have imagined.

In celebrating 55 years of business, Maynard and Fannie’s son David, now president of Littleton Coin Company Inc., said, "There are many important events in our company’s history, and all of you continue to create milestones today. Birthdays are important – they gives us a chance to celebrate. We have a lot to celebrate today. I believe you are the best organization in the world serving the needs of coin collectors."

The business started by Maynard and Fannie evolved from its humble beginnings on a card table in a two-room office in 1945, to become one of the world’s leading providers of collectible coins and paper money. Now Littleton Coin employs nearly 400 people and occupies a 65,000-square-foot building.
