What we buy: rare coins, gold, silver, currency, and collectibles
Tradernicks is a professional coin buyer and full-service dealer. We specialize in items with precious metal content, rarity, or historical significance, not mass-market collectibles or common pocket change. Below is what we actively buy. Have something that does not fit neatly in a category? Ask anyway; if we do not buy it, we will point you toward someone reputable who does.
Gold and silver coins
We buy gold coins and silver coins every week: American Gold and Silver Eagles, South African Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, pre-1933 US gold, Morgan and Peace silver dollars, and world gold and silver. Whether you are a stacker selling part of a stack or a collector letting go of a set, we pay competitive rates based on live precious metal prices.
Bullion and precious metals
Bars, rounds, and bullion in gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium. We also buy junk silver (90% and .900 fine US coinage), 925 sterling silver flatware and tea services, and other scrap precious metal items.
Rare and collectible US coins
From Lincoln wheat pennies to Flowing Hair and Draped Bust rarities: Morgan and Peace dollars, Seated Liberty, Barber, Mercury dimes, Buffalo and Shield nickels, Washington quarters, Franklin and Liberty halves, trimes, commemoratives, high relief, low mintage, and limited issues, proof sets, mint sets, and better or key date coins of every series. Civil War, Revolutionary, colonial, and continental era pieces are always of interest.
Certified and graded coins
We buy NGC and PCGS certified coins (slabs) at strong prices, and we can talk you through whether certification, authentication, or an appraisal makes sense for your raw coins before you spend money on grading.
Paper money and currency
Large size paper money (horse blanket notes), shinplasters, obsolete and broken bank notes, Confederate (CSA) currency, national banknotes, high denomination bills, notgeld, and world currency from euros and pounds to dinars. Yes, we buy Disney dollars too.
World and ancient coins
Ancient Roman, Greek, and Byzantine coinage, medieval and world coins, and older foreign gold and silver. Old, scarce, and rare pieces from anywhere in the world are welcome.
Curiosities and other collectibles
Select historical and natural collectibles: exonumia (tokens and medals), ephemera, antique weapons and swords, archeology and paleontology finds such as arrowheads and fossils, meteorites, gems, crystals, minerals and ore, unusual rocks and stones, vintage glass and pottery, turquoise and squash blossom jewelry, salvage and treasure finds, and Disney bronzes and statues (Tinkerbell, Jiminy Cricket, Donald Duck, WDW pieces). One collectable at a time or a whole cabinet of curiosities.
Estates and entire collections
Inherited an accumulation? We handle complete estate collections: rolls, tubes, sleeves, boxes, canvas and cloth bags of wheat cents, folders and albums, the works. We will sort the valuable from the ordinary and explain the difference as we go.
