Decade [dek-eyd], noun: a period of ten years.
More than halfway through our 31st year here at The Coin Vault, it is hard to believe how quickly the last ten years, or this last decade, has gone. With time like that there ultimately comes change and well, we have encountered that too. Some small, some big, but in the grand scheme of things, for the better.
With as eventful as the last couple of years have been in the hobby, it is hard telling what the future holds for us in the new year and the new decade, but we believe it to be bright and hopeful. The United States Mint has done an extraordinary job in the product that they have released and as a result, we have had a chance to offer some of the best coins and programs we have ever had the pleasure of offering. There is no doubt in our minds that will continue on in the future.
As far as The Coin Vault is concerned, we have never been more customer-driven and focused which in turn, has allowed us to focus on key components of our business such as the efficiency of its operation and its overall growth. We, as a small staff and loyal supporters of a business to which many of us have dedicated a number of years to, have been able to be succinct in our efforts to make this the best business possible. Camaraderie, teamwork, and overall hard work have been the nuts and bolts of The Coin Vault this year and we have never been more blessed. Hopefully, that sentiment has reached and been impressed upon you.
While we put a stamp on the year 2019 and look ahead to 2020, we cannot wait to bring you along with us on this next adventure as we continue to strive and thrive in this family-owned and operated business we call home in small-town Indiana. Our business has been built from the ground up since 1949 by late founders Leon and Ruhama Hendrickson and continues to grow with their daughters and grandchildren now at the helm.
Surrounded by hardworking and loyal supporters (employees) of the family and their business, we hope to continue being the best and longest-running coin program on television. All of that is not possible without all of you, our steadfast customers. Your support does not go unrecognized and we will continue to do our best for you day in and day out. THANK YOU for the constant reminder that what we have here is something special and to always be appreciative of it.
So from our family to yours, have a wonderful new year and a blessed decade ahead! We look forward to having you over every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday night.
