Understanding Coin Values – A Chicago Seller’s Guide

Not all coins are priced the same way. Many online “value guides” or articles show inflated prices that don’t reflect reality. We price coins based on:

Clickbait Pricing – Unrealistic online numbers meant to attract clicks.
Real-World Pricing – The actual selling price in today’s market.
Melt Value Pricing – The gold or silver content of the coin.
Numismatic Value – The collector premium based on rarity, condition, and demand.

Our offers are based on real market transactions and current bullion rates.

Inherited Coin Collections in Chicago

Inherited collections can be exciting but also overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure what’s valuable. These collections often contain:

Rare and collectible coins
Gold and silver bullion
Common coins saved over time
U.S. Mint sets and commemoratives
Foreign coins from family travel or heritage

We’ll go through every coin, explain its value, and make a no-pressure offer you can feel confident about.

We Buy More Than Just Coins

U.S. & foreign paper money
Gold & silver bullion bars and rounds
Estate jewelry & fine watches
Tokens & medals
Historical documents & militaria
