Is there a coin shop near me in Metro Detroit?

This one is on 11 Mile in Madison Heights, just east of John R and a mile off I-75 — inside twenty minutes of Troy, Warren, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Sterling Heights and most of the towns along I-696. Parking is at the door and walk-ins are welcome in counter hours.

Do you buy coins as well as sell them?

Both, across the same counter. Coins come in from collections and estates and go out to collectors and buyers, and the two sides are priced off the same references — so the number you are offered and the number on the tag are worked out the same way.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk in during counter hours and what you brought gets looked at while you wait. A whole collection, an estate or a larger purchase is easier at a private appointment, which books a table of its own and an unhurried pace.

Will you look at coins you have no interest in buying?

Yes, and you get told so plainly. Plenty of what crosses the counter is worth more to a collector than to us, and being told that is more useful than a low offer. There is no charge for looking either way.

What kind of coins do you carry?

Sovereign gold and silver from the world's mints, graded PCGS and NGC slabs, pre-1933 U.S. gold, 90% silver, and the licensed collectible silver people drive in for. Half the case walked in across the counter, so it turns over week to week.

The coin shop

A coin shop you can walk into.

A counter in Madison Heights with a real case and someone behind it: graded slabs, sovereign gold and silver, pre-1933 U.S. gold, 90% silver by the roll, and the licensed collectible silver that brings collectors in from across Metro Detroit. Coins are bought and sold here, so the case changes week to week.

Bring a coin, a jar of them or a collection built over decades. Each piece is looked at as what it is — a coin first, metal second — and you hear which it is before any number is quoted. No appointment, no charge for looking, and no pressure to sell to us.

On 11 Mile, a mile off I-75.

The shop sits on 11 Mile just east of John R, one exit off I-75 and one stop from the I-696 interchange — which is why the regulars come from both highways. Parking is at the door, and a single coin is as normal a visit as a whole collection.

Both sides of the counter

Coins come in, coins go out, same references.

A coin has two possible prices: what the metal in it is worth, and what the coin is worth to someone who wants that coin. The second is often the larger, and sorting out which applies is most of the work at a coin counter. Dates, mint marks, grade and originality decide it, and you are walked through the reasoning rather than handed a figure.

Selling a collection is its own page — the coin appraisal and buying page covers how a collection is evaluated. Buying from the case starts with sovereign coins, and what is physically in the case today is on the vault page.

Graded slabs — PCGS and NGC, priced on the grade
Sovereign gold & silver — Eagles, Maples, Krugerrands, Britannias
Pre-1933 U.S. gold — priced as coins, not as melt
90% U.S. silver — dimes, quarters, halves, by the roll or the bag
Licensed collectible silver — the odd stuff collectors drive in for
Bars and rounds — bullion, priced off the live board
