Private Coin Buyers: A Secure & Discreet Way to Sell Your Collection

When you have a valuable collection of U.S. rare coins, foreign coins, or mint error coins, finding a private coin buyer is often the best choice. You need a process that is not only professional and fair but also secure and completely confidential.

For over 30 years, American Rarities has been the premier private coin buyer for collectors and inheritors nationwide. We offer a discreet, professional service that combines the pricing power of a national dealer with the personal touch of a one-on-one transaction.

The Problem with Other Selling Options

Finding the right buyer can be challenging. Both local shops and large auction sites have significant drawbacks.

  • Local Coin Shops: Driving across town with a valuable collection can be inconvenient and risky. Furthermore, a cash-strapped local shop may lack the resources or specialized knowledge to make a fair, top-dollar offer.

  • Online Auctions: Selling on sites like eBay or through auction houses like Stack’s Bowers involves high commission fees (often 13-22%), long waits for payment, and the risk of dealing with anonymous bidders.

The Problems with Finding Private Coin Buyers

Sure, you could look for antique coin buyers in your area, but do you really want to spend your Saturday afternoons driving around with your valuable coin collection across town? Aside from the inconvenience involved, you could get there, just to find the coin buyer isn’t fully knowledgeable about your particular coins and their true value. You also need to consider current economic conditions, which might incentivize cash-strapped buyers to try to lowball you.
