Not sure what you have?
This page covers every category we purchase — from common junk silver and bullion to rare key-date coins, currency, and jewelry. Browse the sections below to see what qualifies, what we look for, and what affects the price we pay.
Pre-1965 U.S. coinage
Junk Silver
Pre-1965 U.S. coins are 90% silver and one of the most straightforward things to sell. We pay based on current silver spot price.
We buy
- Roosevelt & Mercury dimes
- Washington & Standing Liberty quarters
- Franklin & Walking Liberty half dollars
- Morgan & Peace silver dollars
- War nickels (1942–1945, 35% silver)
- 40% silver Kennedy halves (1965–1970)
Albums, sets, rolls & estates
Coin Collections
Whether it's a carefully assembled collection or a box of inherited coins, we'll go through everything and pay you accordingly.
We buy
- Complete and partial album sets
- Proof and mint sets (U.S. and foreign)
- Coin rolls and bags
- Estate and inherited collections
- Foreign and world coins
- Commemorative coins and sets
Numismatic coins with collector value
Rare & Key Date Coins
Key dates, low-mintage issues, and high-grade examples command a premium above melt value. We know the market and pay accordingly — you won't get a melt-value offer on a coin worth multiples of that.
We buy
- Morgan dollars (key dates: 1893-S, 1895, 1901)
- Peace dollars and early type coins
- Walking Liberty & Franklin halves
- Early American coinage (Bust, Draped, Capped)
- Lincoln cents (1909-S VDB, 1914-D, 1955 DDO)
- Buffalo nickels and Standing Liberty quarters
- PCGS and NGC graded coins
Coins, rounds, and bars
Gold & Silver Bullion
We buy all major government-minted bullion coins and private mint products. Pricing is based on current spot price — we update our buy prices throughout the day.
We buy
- American Gold & Silver Eagles
- Canadian Maple Leafs (gold & silver)
- South African Krugerrands
- Austrian Philharmonics
- Silver rounds and 1 oz bars
- 10 oz and 100 oz silver bars

U.S. and obsolete notes
Currency & Paper Money
Older U.S. paper currency can be worth significantly more than face value. We evaluate based on series, condition, and rarity — not just whether it's old.
We buy
- Large-format U.S. notes (pre-1928)
- Silver certificates (all series)
- Gold certificates
- National bank notes
- Federal Reserve notes (older series)
- Obsolete and territorial currency
- Confederate and Civil War era notes
Scrap, estate, and fine pieces
Gold & Silver Jewelry
We test and weigh all jewelry on-site and pay based on actual metal content at current spot prices. No guesswork. — you see exactly what we're doing and why.
We buy
- 10K, 14K, 18K, and 22K gold jewelry
- Sterling silver (.925) jewelry and flatware
