Since 1990, Blanchard has had more than $1 billion in sales, with half of that coming from precious metal transactions with investors throughout the United States. Its numismatic activities, which account for another half-billion in sales, are second to none. The company also operates the Blanchard Economic Research Unit (BERU), led by Blanchard Chairman and CEO Donald W. Doyle, Jr. and David Beahm, V.P. and Director of Marketing and Economic Research. BERU is a leading precious metals research entity, analyzing global economic data to determine trends and make educated predictions on the precious metals market.

Blanchard has owned and sold more than half of the published 100 Greatest U.S. Coins (Whitman Publishing), including the highly sought-after 1913 Liberty Head nickel – one of five known to exist – which went for $3 million. The company has also sold the 1907 Ultra High Relief double eagle designed by August St. Gaudens, the 1838-O half dollar, and the 1876-CC twenty-cent piece.

Blanchard relentlessly selects only the finest quality products available, and all of the company’s numismatic stock is procured by one of the country’s leading numismatists. In fact, Blanchard routinely rejects at least half of the rare coins the company inspects as it is committed to providing only the highest-quality of American rare coins available.

Blanchard and its predecessor companies have called the New Orleans area home for more than 30 years, and it is located at 909 Poydras St., Ste. 1900 in the New Orleans central business district.
