A Lifelong Passion for Coins, Gold & Jewelry
The Story Behind Alliance Coins & Jewelry
Jerry Petros, founder and owner of Alliance Coins & Jewelry, discovered his passion for coin collecting at age nine. "It's been in my blood forever," Petros says. His interest was sparked in 1963 when his father handed him a shiny Denver Mint penny during a family dinner—that moment marked the start of his lifelong journey in coin collecting.
Petros' first collection, a set of pennies he bought for $6 in Malvern, still hangs in the store today. Reflecting on his early experiences, he says, "I learned everything by making mistakes." Those lessons shaped a professional who values honesty above all else.
Building a Business With Integrity
After careers in ceramics engineering and aerospace, Petros opened his first coin shop in the late 1980s. He earned certifications from the state of Ohio, PCGS, NGC, and ANACS, and became a member of several professional organizations. The business grew steadily through referrals and repeat customers, eventually relocating to its current home in Alliance in 2013.
In the world of coin collecting, honesty is paramount. Jerry understands this deeply. He recalls a customer who brought in a gold coin that looked authentic but was worthless. "You have to be on your toes," he says—and he is. That vigilance, combined with a genuine desire to educate every customer about what they have, is the foundation of Alliance Coins & Jewelry.
