Questions we answer every week.
Selling to us, what we buy, and how grading and value actually work. If your question isn’t here, call 1-407-343-1200 or send photos by email — we’re happy to take a look.
Selling to us
How appointments, offers, and privacy work.
Our primary focus is buying: rare coins, currency, gold, silver, and bullion. But we are collectors at heart, and we enjoy helping people assemble collections. If you are looking for a particular coin, ask; we may have it or be able to find it.
No. We have been closed to the public since 2020 and work strictly by private appointment, typically Monday through Wednesday. Call 1-407-343-1200 or email us first; it protects your privacy and ours, and it means our full attention is on your collection.
We have been buying coins full time since 1997, and our reputation in Central Florida is the business. We explain what you have and how we arrived at our number, and our advice is honest even when an item is not something we typically buy.
Yes. Appointments are one-on-one in our downtown Kissimmee office; no crowds, no hotel ballroom buying events, no strangers from the internet. Never sell your coins at a hotel buying event or to an unknown online buyer.
If you need a formal written appraisal for insurance or an estate, contact us and we will discuss options.
What we buy
Coins, bullion, currency, and the odd curiosity.
Gold coins, silver coins, and rare US and world coins of nearly every series: Morgan and Peace dollars, wheat pennies, Mercury dimes, Buffalo nickels, Barber and Seated Liberty coinage, key dates, proof and mint sets, commemoratives, and ancient Roman, Greek, and Byzantine pieces. See the Services page for the full list.
Yes: bars, rounds, Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, and bullion in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, priced off live metal markets.
“Junk silver” is the trade term for ordinary US dimes, quarters, and half dollars minted in 1964 or earlier, which are 90% silver. They are worth well above face value, and we buy them by the coin, the roll, or the canvas bag.
Yes: large size notes (horse blankets), obsolete and broken bank notes, Confederate currency, national banknotes, shinplasters, notgeld, high denomination bills, and world currency.
Sometimes. We buy select historical and natural collectibles: tokens and medals, antique weapons, arrowheads, fossils, meteorites, gems and minerals, turquoise jewelry, Disney dollars and bronzes, and genuine salvage and treasure pieces. Send photos and we will tell you quickly whether it is for us.
Yes, gladly. Inherited collections, dealer stock, accumulations in boxes and bags; we will sort it, explain what matters, and make an offer on the whole or the part you want to sell.
Grading, value, and advice
Before you grade, clean, or trust an app.
Certified (slabbed) coins from NGC and PCGS are easier to value and often bring stronger prices, but grading costs money and is not worthwhile for every coin. Bring your raw coins in first; we will tell you honestly whether certification makes sense.
Please do not. Cleaning permanently damages a coin’s surface and can cut its value dramatically. Bring coins exactly as you found them.
Coin prices on the internet and in phone apps are wildly inaccurate and cannot be trusted. Values depend on authenticity, grade, and real market demand, which is why an in-person evaluation by an experienced numismatist matters.
Probably. We have a network of professionals all over the USA and can help you find a reputable local coin dealer near you. Call or email and we will point you in the right direction.
