Question 1

What kinds of coins do you buy?

Accepted Answer

We buy all kinds! When it comes to coins there is a lot to talk about.... Usually we don't do much with basic pocket change but other than that, if it is old or it is rare, or even has silver or gold in it, we buy it!

Question 2

What kind of coins don't you buy?

Accepted Answer

Anything that can be considered pocket change. So basically Modern (1965 and later) quarters, pennies, dimes, and nickels (with the exception of Ike Dollars and Susan B. Anthony Dollars.

Question 3

Should I clean my coins?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Collectors value an original surface on a coin much like a classic car enthusiast value an original paint job. Any cleaning whether rubbing, wiping, scraping, or washing potentially damages the original surface in some way. You may not be able to see it with the naked eye, but when you look at the coin at 30-40x magnification, you see every scratch and this de-values the coin.

Question 4

What do you pay for coin collections?

Accepted Answer

Any honest coin collector or dealer is going to say the same thing: "I can't answer that without seeing the coins first". This is because we pay based off of grade and rarity of the coin... For example... If we said we pay silver melt price for Morgan Dollars, then you would definitely lose money if you had an uncirculated Carson City Morgan, which could potentially be worth thousands of dollars but you would only receive $30-$50. For this reason, our appraisal process is carefully approached by evaluating each coin for its maximum potential.

Question 5

How do you pay?

Accepted Answer

We usually pay in Cash, Zelle, Cashapp, or Paypal. Whichever you prefer.

Question 6

What's the big deal with coins? Are they really worth money?

Accepted Answer

You have no idea....

There are actually single coins that can fetch millions....

Question 7

How do I find out what my coins are worth?

Accepted Answer

This can be tricky for a lot of reasons... To start, the rise of coin grading and identifying apps have created a false sense of value. Most coin apps like "CoinSnap", and "CoinIn" consistently overprice some coins and underprice others. We have found these apps to be decent at identifying coins for the average hobbyist but they lack market value and a trained eye. Other sites like eBay can be confusing as well because there are many people who don't really have a good knowledge of coins posting common pocket change on their shop and calling it an error and asking thousands of dollars for it. For the average person reading these listings, this can create a false sense of value.

Simply put, a coin is only worth what someone will pay for it and the best way to safely know what your coin is worth is to call and have us take a look.

Question 8

Do coins lose their value if they are cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in fact cleaned coins are considered damaged by most in the industry. Therefore the coin would be worth less just like a damaged electronic would be worth less.
