The Challenge with a Local Coin Shop

While some local shops are excellent, they often face business challenges that can impact their offer:

High Overhead: The costs of maintaining a retail storefront (rent, staff, utilities) mean they have less capital to purchase your collection.
Limited Customer Base: A local shop buys for a small, local market. If they don’t have an immediate buyer for your specific coins, they will likely make a lower offer.
Specialized Knowledge: A small shop may not have the deep expertise needed to recognize and value rare world coins, mint errors, or specialized collectibles.

The American Rarities Advantage: A Better Way to Sell

For over 30 years, we have designed our business to overcome these challenges, ensuring you get the best possible value.

We Pay Top Market Prices: Our low-overhead business model and vast nationwide network of collectors mean we have higher demand and more capital. We pass these savings directly to you with a stronger offer.
Unmatched Expertise: As Life Members of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) with an A+ BBB rating, our team has the expertise to identify every bit of value in your collection, from rare U.S. coins to gold bullion and paper money.

Convenience and Security: We combine the convenience of a remote appraisal with the security of a professional transaction.

How to Choose Where to Sell Coins Near You

“Near me” should mean convenient and safe, not just close. Here is how the usual options compare when you sell a coin collection:

Where to sell	Good for	Watch out for
Local coin shop	Quick in-person look; good for common coins and bullion	One store’s offer; retail overhead; may not specialize in rare or world coins
Pawn shop	Fast cash nearby	Often focused on melt value; may not have numismatic expertise
Coin show	Many dealers in one room	Only on show dates; you carry your coins there and back
Online marketplace or auction	Large audience of buyers	Fees, photos, shipping and returns are on you; you wait for a buyer
Nationwide buyer with local buyers	Expert appraisal, written offer, home visit or insured mail-in	Ask about credentials, insurance and how payment is made

Before you sell coins anywhere, check these five things:

Do not clean your coins. Cleaning can cut a coin’s value sharply. See coin cleaning on Wikipedia.
Get a written offer before you hand anything over, and compare it with current metal prices from Kitco for bullion.
Check credentials. Look for membership in the American Numismatic Association, a BBB rating and dealer status with PCGS and NGC. American Rarities is an ANA Life Member, BBB A+ rated, a PCGS and NGC authorized dealer and an ANACS submission center, with a Google rating of 4.7 from 86 reviews.
Ask about grading. We offer free in-house grading without slabbing, so you know what your coins are before deciding whether to have them certified. Learn more about coin grading near you.
Ask how and when you are paid. We pay immediately by check, wire or ACH, and we provide IRS-compliant appraisals for estates.
