Alaska Mint

Thirty years ago, I paid a few dollars to “mint” my own coin while on a visit to the U.S. Mint in Denver…..the rest, as they say, is history… At the Alaska Mint, we offer high quality, Alaskan made items at reasonable prices. Stop by our store and watch our artisans at work creating unique items that will be treasured for years to come. The pure silver and gold coins that we design and mint are highly desirable collectors items that our customers have been enjoying for over 25 years. We buy raw gold from the miners all over Alaska, and make some of it into stunning pieces of jewelry. We specialize in vintage estate jewelry from our customers here in Alaska, and we have a great selection of locally made handmade knives and Ulus.

Established in 1997.
My parents started a jewelry store in Kenai, Alaska in 1967, when I was about 5 years old. They opened a second store, in a mall, here in Anchorage in 1973. I worked in those family businesses while growing up, and during the summers I operated a sidewalk vendors cart in the downtown area. Then in the spring of 1989, I opened my own store in the heart of downtown. I minted my first coin in December 1990 as The Anchorage Mint, a few years later I changed the name to Alaska Mint.
