A family run business for over 50 years.
History
NobleSpirit started as a small one-man operation in the 1960’s. Founder Joseph Cortese started dealing in stamps from a young age, and eventually expanded his expertise to encompass coins and a wide variety of other collectibles as well.
NobleSpirit experienced a major growth shift in 1998, when the company joined eBay. Transitioning the business to an e-commerce platform allows us to reach customers all over the world, and we now ship goods to over 76 countries.
Today, NobleSpirit has grown so successful that we now employ a staff of twenty-four team members, including expert philatelists, numismatists, and historians, as well as product photographers and a skilled shipping team.
Michael Cortese, Joseph’s son, is now vice president of the company, and has made a prominent name for himself throughout the philatelic community. He is Director-at-Large of the American Philatelic Society, co-hosts the monthly podcast Conversations with Philatelists, and travels nationally to deliver talks at philatelic shows.

Coins
Numismatics was once known as the “hobby of kings,” as the enthusiasm and appreciation for coin collecting can be traced back hundreds of years to ancient rulers. This tradition – the careful study and trade of rare coins, is an art that NobleSpirit carries forward to this day.
We offer a robust collection of exceptionally rare, investment grade, and collectible coins for sale, all of which you can find in our eBay store.
Noblespirit was one of the very first authorized dealers of all four professional coin grading services, including:
— the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS)
— Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS)
— American Numismatic Association Certification Service (ANACS)
— Independent Coin Graders (ICG)
Stamps
While philately has seen a renewed sense of appreciation in recent years, NobleSpirit is a seasoned veteran in this field.
From rare individual stamps to large estates, philately is one of NobleSpirit’s main areas of expertise. We offer an expansive inventory of stamps, both US and worldwide.
We offer a full guarantee on all of our stamps – with this in mind, we offer all of our philatelic customers a grace period to allow buyers to obtain a certificate of authenticity upon purchase of a collection. Simply submit your request at the time of purchase.
Collectibles
In addition to stamps and coins, we deal in a vast array of collectible items; from ancient artifacts and history memorabilia to rare baseball cards and collectible comic books. NobleSpirit employs a well-trained team of historical experts that thoroughly research each and every item to assess its historical significance and market value.
