  • 本杰明·马克西米利安·梅尔(英語:Benjamin Maximillian Mehl,1884年11月5日-1957年9月28日)通常简称麦克斯·梅尔(Max Mehl),是持续销售硬币超过半个世纪的美国经销商,20世纪上半叶绝大多数时候都是该国最著名的钱币销售商。在他的推动下,不再是有钱人的消遣与爱好,逐渐飞入寻常百姓家。 梅尔生于俄罗斯帝国,随家人搬到今立陶宛境内,后移民美国并定居德克萨斯州沃斯堡,成年后他基本都在当地生活。梅尔很小就收集硬币,少年时开始转卖,1903年加入美国钱币协会时还只有18岁,随后很快就专以硬币销售安身立命,1910年已名扬全美。 富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福、温斯顿·丘吉尔、都曾向梅尔购买硬币;他曾为与法鲁克国王等名流拍卖硬币。梅尔率先在非钱币出版物刊登广告,希望吸引更多的人收藏钱币。他在明知市场上没有流通的情况下花费上百万美元刊登广告,出价五十美元求购,促使公众細察口袋中零钱,希望找到梅尔可能购买的罕见硬币,反过来大幅提升梅尔硬币著作销量,带来丰厚利润。 梅尔拍卖做成的大生意基本集中在20世纪40年代,50年代后他逐渐淡出,1957年辞世,生意持续到60年代;1974年入选钱币名人堂,2010年入选CoinFacts经销商名人堂。 (zh)
