Clients from San Jose, San Francisco, Fremont, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Palo Alto, and surrounding cities trust us for fair offers and accurate appraisals.
We specialize in evaluating both single coins and full collections. Our team buys U.S. coins, foreign coins, silverware, and paper currency. We provide written evaluations and walk clients through each item’s condition, demand, and market value.
Our shop was founded after seeing firsthand how some dealers offer sellers less than 40% of a collection’s actual market value. Our process is built to fix that.
If you are ready to sell, text us at (415) 952-6467 or use our online form. Our goal is to give you clarity and value, whether you are selling or just getting information.

Because your collection was built coin-by-coin by a passionate collector, it only makes sense that we appraise it coin-by-coin.

We always block out enough time to ensure appointments are never rushed and that all your questions are answered.
We were founded after seeing how some Bay Area dealers offer sellers less than 40% of actual market worth. Every offer we make is based on verified market data, not arbitrary pricing.
