Coins & Paper Money

Oakton Coins & Collectibles is a coin shop that specializes in buying unique coins and paper bills. We buy high or low grade U.S. or foreign coins and paper money. We also offer free verbal appraisals for individuals, inheritances, and estates.

Gold

We buy all forms of gold. Historically, gold was often used as money, but today most gold is used to make jewelry. Due to various economic issues in the last few years, gold has gained a lot of attention. The connection between gold and money is not well defined because the price of gold fluctuates. Although the price moves up and down every day, as a traded commodity, the gold price is generally high these days.

Unfortunately, these high prices have created an opportunity for unscrupulous businesses to take advantage of the public. Many fly-by-night stores have popped up all over the Chicago area, offering the “highest prices,” although they are generally the lowest. Even some people who don’t have stores travel around buying (actually stealing) gold. The absolute worst hustle is the mail-in gold services. Don’t trust your wealth to these places. It’s your gold; it’s your wealth; you should not lose it because you are converting your gold into cash.

Historically, banks are where you would take your gold, silver, etc., but for whatever reason they are no longer in that business at least not with the general public. Therefore, the local coin shop is the only honest business that is open to the public when it comes to these matters. We are the best place to sell gold.

Silver

We buy all forms of silver. Silver is a metal that holds value, just as gold does. But the majority of gold buyers will not buy or sell silver for the following reasons:

  • The testing process is more complicated.
  • The market price for silver tends to fluctuate more than gold (either direction).
  • Refiners do not accept small amounts.

Collectibles

We specialize in purchasing a wide variety of collectibles, including posters, maps, collectible toys (with a special interest in original Star Wars items), fine antiques, high-value stamp collections, swords, artifacts, militaria, early electric fans, early coin-operated machines, and foreign and world tokens/medals. Additionally, we provide consignment services, estate liquidations, clean-outs, and referrals for unique and unusual items.
