 Top-rated Truman Company offers trusted, personalized
services for all rare coins and precious metals needs
The only 5-star Google-rated
coin store in the Twin Cities offers
services dealing with rare coins, precious
metals and everything in-between
If it's gold, silver or old, Roger
Westerling will know its history and
value.
Since establishing Truman
Company in Roseville in 2010,
Westerling has been one of the
l e a d i n g ra re c o i n a n d p re c i o u s
metals dealers in the Twin Cities.
He and his staff buy and sell
numismatic coins, bullion, paper
currency and scrap gold. Silver
jewelry, foreign coins and select

for anything that walks through the door at Truman Company in Roseville.
collectables are also all fair game.
If the value is there, he says they'll
buy anything.
Why take your valuable
possessions to Westerling? He works
to provide the area with quality,
respectful appraisals you might not
get elsewhere, working to build
lasting relationships with everyone
who comes in.
"We do business and treat people
the right way," Westerling says. "It's
all about taking care of people and
giving them a fair price."
That respect can be seen in the
shop's success. Truman Company
has the only 5-star Google rating
i n t h e a re a a n d a n A + ra t i n g
from the Better Business Bureau.
Ad d i t i o n a l l y, t h e d e a l e r s a r e
licensed through the state of
Minnesota for each customer's
security.
With hundreds of weekly Google
hits – in addition to its successful
eBay business – Truman Company
has taken advantage of its online
p re s e n c e a n d i s a b l e t o re a c h
thousands of customers and dealers
from all around the country.
For Westerling, coins are a family
business of sorts. His interest began
at the age of 17, when he started
learning the trade from his uncle
Truman, whom the company is
named after. He found his career
right from the beginning, and for
the past 40 years Westerling has
been collecting, trading and selling
coins.

In addition to the standard coins
and metals he sees, Westerling says
he also works with many people
dealing with estates and family-
owned items. When customers don't
want inherited lamps or jewelry, the
Truman Company does.
No matter the object being
appraised, bought or sold, Truman
Company's success in customer
satisfaction and return business
is due to the trust and honesty it
works to build.
For those who are looking to have
their collections appraised, inquire
about family estates or simply learn
more about rare coins and precious
metals, Truman Company is ready
to help.
"I just want to do things the right
way," Westerling said. "That's all
I want to – just buy and sell coins
and make people happy."

Stockyard Days: An ‘Udderly good time’

Stockyard Days is the New Brighton
gathering celebrating the community
today and its 19th century beginnings
as grounds for livestock.
The festival is all about animals,
organizers say, and this year’s tagline
— “Udderly good time” — reflects that,
illustrated by a logo of a cow having a
cow of a time.
New Brighton residents and regional
neighbors have a chance to join in the
fun.
The festival has been an annual get-
together for nearly 40 years, providing
decades of family entertainment for
generations of New Brighton residents.
As Stockyard Days has become a
cherished and exciting New Brighton
tradition, full of vendors and events
that festival-goers enjoy year-after-year,
like the Antique Car Run and musical
acts like festival favorite GB Leighton,
the organizing committee strives to
deliver the consistently excellent festi-
val and also try new events.
Stockyard Days 2018 has a few

The team at Twin City Underwriters will help you navigate the Medicare market, get you set up with coverage that fits your needs, then stay with you as plans (and
your needs) change.

Twin City Underwriters make complicated Medicare decisions easy

Finding the right health insurance
at the right price is not simple for
anyone, but the senior market is
another level of complicated.
Medicare is a gateway to dozens of
private insurance carriers, each with
a wealth of plan options. When costly
medications and procedures are on the
table, insurance should protect your
savings and sanity.
Fortunately, no one has to make
Medicare is and how to get it started.
Once they get it started, they provide
us with their medications, and
then we sit down for an interview,”
Peterson says. “There are so many
plans and it’s hard to know what
the starting point is. We’re there as a
resource for the seniors, to help them
distinguish between the plan types.”
Peterson and his team are experts
in identifying the factors that make
last year has less value this year.
“As plans become less competitive,
are there alternatives? We are
somebody to talk to about that,”
Peterson says.
At Twin City Underwriters, agents
get fulfillment from translating
complicated information and helping
seniors live their best lives.
“It’s not very transactional,”
Peterson says. “It’s much more
relational.”
Jesser says, “I like helping people
make Medicare decisions, helping to
make something very complicated
clear to them, and sticking with them
as they age.”

Medicare
these high stakes decisions alone. The one plan a better fit than another. He
agents at Twin City Underwriters explains that location, travel plans

devote themselves to helping clients
navigate the tricky landscape of health
coverage. They have been around
since 1968 and have evolved with the
industry.
“We’ve been around for a long time,
and we don’t do Medicare as a hobby,
it’s our full-time focus,” says Internal
Sales Lead Debby Jesser.
“98 percent of our work is Medicare;
what isn’t Medicare is pre-65 health,”
says President Tom Peterson, who is
also a licensed agent. “We represent
virtually every carrier in this market.
We help people make good decisions,
and then we stay in touch, because
their needs change.”
Peterson’s statement covers two
important aspects of what the firm
does: onboarding people to Medicare
with the plan that best suits them,
then maintaining the relationship with
annual reviews of how a client’s plan
is working for them. Since Medicare
does not start automatically, getting
the enrollment going is the first task
at hand.
“We educate people about what
and clinics of choice are all necessary
things to consider. And when it
comes to an individual’s medications,
landing on the right plan makes a huge
difference in overall spending.
“It depends on an individual
situation. If they take a lot of
medications, we can make an amazing
difference in their spending per year,”
he says.
Not only can Twin City
Underwriters guarantee that a client
gets the best plan for their needs,
the team is also available to provide
support when medical decisions must
be made.
“It’s not just enrolling clients. As
they’re using their plan, they have
one place to call to help them with
claims and questions they might have,”
Jesser says. “We resolve issues like,
‘Will this be covered? Can I have this
procedure?’”
When fall comes around and plans
are updated, many folks experience a
plan rocketing in price without seeing
its quality go up. An agent is the best
person to talk to when a plan that fit
Questions?

Stockyard Days 15

Wayne and the Boys, a one-mand band, will be back to perform again this year. Other musical entertainment will be provided by GB Leighton.

Have a Great Time at Stockyard Days

Prior to Stockyard Days, untold thousands of preparation hours are
invested during the year. An incredible amount of planning and investment
is exerted through preparing for, running and decommissioning the
Stockyard Days events. Then with just a few weeks break, the process
starts all over again for the next year.

Recognizing all the required efforts Nadine and I give our best to all the
Stockyard Days volunteers in creating the annual events. We also want to
recognize the city staff for their mutual efforts providing support services
and events throughout Stockyard Days. To everyone, we say Thank You!

This year, when attending any of the Stockyard Days events, remember to
say a special thank you to the volunteers you meet.
