Robert (Bob) A. Naimy was born in July 1926 and died in October of 1986. He married in 1950 and had several children who in later years helped him with his traveling business buying coins, precious metals and other valuables. He spent most of his life in Walla Walla, Washington, divorced in 1976 and moved to San Diego around 1979.
In one article, Bob mentioned that he had the “same corporate structure since 1958”.
From March 1976 article, Bob traveled a lot:
I believe he owned or was involved with the following companies:
- Walla Walla Coin Co.
- Hercaimy Coin which later was Hercaimy Enterprises
- Prestige Coins
- Prestige Premiums, Inc
- Diamonds of Prestige
From my conversation with a retired dealer who knew Bob, it sounded like Bob was a real hustler, always doing deals coins, bullion, real estate and jewelry and “never had a nickel to his name”.
His obituary from October 1986:
