In depth
Buying Antique Coins
Antique coins, ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine issues, colonial and early US coppers and silver, gold sovereigns, and early world coinage, demand an experienced eye, and we appraise them on age, origin, metal, rarity, and condition rather than weight alone.
These pieces often carry historical and collector value well beyond their gold or silver, and an offer based only on melt would shortchange you. Bring your old coins exactly as they are; cleaning an antique coin can destroy much of its value, so leave the patina and any holders intact, and include any provenance or attribution you have.
Every appraisal is free, carries no obligation, and is explained in plain terms so you understand what you have. Whether it is a single inherited piece or a box of old foreign and early American coins, our buyers take the time to identify and value each correctly.
For a knowledgeable antique coin buyer who appraises historic pieces with care, visit any of our four Northern Virginia locations and walk out with instant payout if you decide to sell.
