We buy · Coins & rare coins · By appointment only

We buy coins one at a time, never weighed as a lump.

Collections often hold a few coins that matter far more than the rest: a better date, a scarce mint mark, an exceptional strike. At your appointment we go through them one at a time, separate the rare and collectible coins from those that trade on metal, and show you which is which.

How we evaluate it, in person

I

Collector value first

Date, mint mark, condition and eye appeal come before any metal price.

Common silver and gold coins are valued against the day's market.

Straight talk

If a coin would do better at a specialist auction, we'll tell you.

Good to know

Questions about selling coins & rare coins

Should I clean my coins before my appointment?

Please don't. Cleaning almost always lowers a collectible coin's value. Bring them exactly as they are, in their original holders.

I don't know what's in the collection. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Many collections we see were built by someone else. Sorting and explaining them is part of the appointment.

Do you buy coins that are already graded?

Yes. Coins graded by the major services are welcome, as are raw coins that may be worth grading. We'll tell you if we think grading makes sense.
