Buying

Maybe you've been collecting for 20 to 30 years and you've decided now is a good time to sell. Or maybe you've just inherited a collection and you don't know what it's worth. Or maybe you've found a bag of old coins and wonder what they are. In any case, you might want to find a professional who can answer all of these questions and help you get the best price for your collection.

I always need to buy coins, in order to have coins to sell. I prefer to buy coins of the same types that I sell, including Bust and Seated half dimes, Bust and Seated dimes, Bust and Seated quarters, Seated halves, and Seated dollars. I also seek out low grade coins for the rarer dates, as I do have customers who are interested in those coins. I will be happy to make a fair offer on your collection, a part of it you wish to sell, or any one or several coins.

Please DON'T DO 3 things or you will probably significantly reduce the value of your coins:

  • DON'T clean any of your coins
  • DON'T remove any coins from their holders
  • DON'T fold any currency

I also buy esoteric items, including 1923-D and 1930-D dimes, 1815 Large cent, 1818 14 stars Large cent, 1874 half dime, 1846-O dime, 1891 Barber dime, quarter, and half, 1931 Standing Liberty quarter, 1933 quarters, 1804 and 1816 halves, 1841 Large Letters half, 1915 Walking Liberty half, 1928-D half, 1964 Franklin half, 1975 quarter, 1975 half, 1975 Ike dollar, and 1805 Bust dollar.  If you have any of these coins, please sell them to me as I pay high prices for them!

Selling

I sell coins through this website, by phone, and at local coin shows in Central Pennsylvania, and at larger shows such as Baltimore (3 shows per year), FUN, and Summer ANA.  If you go to one of those shows, stop by and say Hello!

Trades

I always appreciate being offered coins in trade, especially the kinds of coins that I sell. A trade can work out for you, the collector, by allowing you to acquire a coin that you do not have enough available cash to purchase.  A trade can also be good for me by helping replenish my inventory.

Want Lists

I appreciate your sending your want lists for difficult to find rarer coins, especially if it includes the type of coins I sell. I will contact you immediately if anything on your want list arrives into my inventory.

Consignments

I will take your collection on consignment, will evaluate where to best sell each part of your collection, and upon sale, I will receive a 10% commission. (Please note major auction houses usually charge the seller 10% and the buyer 15%, for a total of 25%.) Consignment generally results in a higher amount to you, although it will take more time. If the consignment is sold over a period of time, periodic payments will be made.

Auction Representation

I attend numerous auctions throughout the year.  If you want me to represent you in person, including lot viewing, consulting on bid levels, and bidding in person on any lot on your behalf, please contact me.  For auctions I do not attend, I usually have a representative available.

Appraisals

I will give you a "ballpark estimate" of the value of the whole collection at no cost to you. If you need a written appraisal for estate, insurance or tax purposes, my fee is $50 per hour, because this requires me to do more work.  If I buy the collection or a substantial portion of it from you within 60 days of the appraisal, half of your appraisal fee (up to 4 hours) will be refunded to you.
