Norwegian-born, now examining the world's rarest currency from a Brooklyn loft. I see coins as carved history — from Viking silver to Colonial coppers.

"A 17th-century Norwegian skilling next to a Colonial shilling — same dreams, different shores."

Norwegian & Scandinavian (1500–present) Early American copper & silver Viking-Age trade coins

(from the customers)
"Aloid helped me authenticate a 17th-century Norwegian skilling I inherited. His eye for detail is incredible — spotted a subtle variant that doubled its value."
EL
Erik Lund Oslo, Norway
"Bought a rare 1795 half dime from Aloid last year. The coin was exactly as described, shipping was fast, and he even included a handwritten note about its history."
MP
Michael Petrov Boston, MA
"We traded Viking-age silver fragments — his Kufic dirham for my Anglo-Saxon sceat. Fair deal, great conversation, and I learned more about Norse trade routes in one hour."
SÞ
Sigríður Þórisdóttir Reykjavík, Iceland
"I'm writing a book on Norwegian immigration to Minnesota. Aloid sold me a perfect 1925 Norse-American medal and shared archive photos of his own great-grandfather who settled in Duluth."
