For the last 18 years, Barry Chappell has helped thousands of people buy art, rare coins and collectibles on television at the lowest possible prices. His unmatched expertise combined with his passion for value has solidified his reputation as art's foremost deal-maker. Today, Barry combines two degrees in Economics with nearly 2 decades' experience buying and selling to offer the lowest prices on rare collectibles to his viewers.

"One of the things I'm most proud of is that I innovated a style of shopping that wasn't there before; a way of offering collectibles that bypasses coin shops and art galleries and makes rare items accessible no matter where you live. In the process, we've offered art from almost every conceivable artist and style and all kinds of coins, including extremely rare one-of-a-kind coins, that in the past were tough to obtain unless you happened to be in the city where they were located.

"I personally buy almost everything that I've ever sold on TV. The biggest challenge I have is to acquire art and coins below wholesale and to be fierce when I buy. It's the greatest feeling for me when I can offer art and coins to my customers that they couldn't find anywhere else for even close to the same price.

"Collecting should be fun. I try to host a show for my viewers that's educational and enjoyable. I want everybody who comes into contact with me to walk away feeling better for the experience. So if somebody has fun watching my show, maybe learns a little about art or coins, and gets a fantastic deal on a rare coin or a painting, that's a win."

Jimmy has worked for over 30 years as a buyer and seller of precious metals and collectible coins. He developed over 100 individual coin collections for Panda America and has bought, sold and traded over 200 million dollars in precious metals and coins in the past 15 years.

He came from a family that owned a jewelry and coin business and his first experience in the marketplace was sourcing raw jewels and precious metals for that enterprise. This soon led Jimmy to a career in trading gold and silver and for the US Mint and eventually with international government mints.

Jimmy came to the Celebrity Shopping Network in 2004 and gained an instant following because of his deep numismatic knowledge and ability to get deals on coins and collectibles that no one else can get. He is deeply connected in the coin collecting community and is able to pass the benefits of these connections onto his viewers.

When Jimmy is not on the air or searching for deals, he is an avid runner and is currently training to compete in his 25th marathon.
