Selling a US coin collection: what we look at
A typical US coin collection is two things at once: a lot of silver coins valued mainly for their metal, and a smaller number of coins whose date, mint mark or condition makes them worth more. We buy both, along with older US gold, bullion coins, proof and mint sets, and coins already graded by PCGS or NGC and sealed in their holders. Rolls, folders, albums or a coffee can — bring it as you found it.
What decides the offer?
- Silver content. Every US dime, quarter, half dollar and dollar dated 1964 or earlier is 90% silver. Kennedy halves from 1965 to 1970 are 40% silver, and the 1942–1945 “war nickels” are 35% silver.
- Date, mint mark and grade. Collectible coins are priced on date, mint mark, grade and real auction results. The metal content is only the floor.
- Original surfaces. Please don’t clean anything. A cleaned coin sells at melt value, however rare it was.
- Graded holders. Coins graded by PCGS or NGC we can discuss by grade over the phone. Ungraded coins we need to see in person.
Older US gold pieces are evaluated as coins rather than bullion, because collector demand sits on top of the gold. Modern bullion coins such as Silver Eagles are priced at live spot minus a small spread — see how our pricing works.
Before your appointment
You don’t need to inventory the collection or know what anything is; that’s our job. If you have a big jar of wheat pennies, pull out the key dates (1909-S VDB, 1914-D, 1922 with no mint mark, 1931-S and the 1955 doubled die) and any Indian Head cents, because unsorted wheat cents are bought at a bulk per-coin price. Bring any old appraisals, receipts or inventory lists, plus a photo ID, which Oregon requires for precious-metals sales.
Where to bring it
Both shops work by appointment and are usually booked, so call before you drive in. The Ashland shop at 1632 Ashland St. (Tuesday through Friday, 10am to 5pm; (541) 482-3715) is the closer one for Medford (about 14 miles), Talent, Phoenix and Redding. The Grants Pass shop (typically Mondays; (541) 955-2985) is the closer one for Josephine County and Roseburg.
Too heavy to move, or too far to drive? Call (541) 482-3715 first. We’ll talk through what you have, and if shipping makes sense we can send you a shipping label. Questions about shipping and payment, we’ll go over on the call. See selling by mail.
