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.

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.
