Sell Your Coins in Austin
Top Prices • Same-Day Payment • No Obligation
Your coin collection deserves a buyer who recognizes its true worth. At Austin Coin Dealer, we’ve built our reputation across Central Texas by treating every seller with transparency and respect. Whether you’re parting with a handful of silver dollars or liquidating a multi-generational estate, we offer competitive payouts tied to real-time market data.
Pawn shops lump coins in with random jewelry and electronics. Online buyers discount their offers to cover shipping and fees. We take a different approach. Coins are all we do. Our team spots the subtle details that drive value: overlooked mint errors, low-mintage dates, and condition factors that separate everyday pocket change from serious collectibles.

Types of Coins We Buy
Gold Coins
We buy gold in any condition. Bullion pieces like American Eagles and Krugerrands pay based on weight. Pre-1933 U.S. gold and uncommon foreign issues often carry collector premiums that push offers well above melt.
Silver Coins
Morgan dollars, Peace dollars, Walking Liberties, junk silver bags—bring it all. Scarce dates and well-preserved examples earn premiums. Even heavily worn or damaged silver holds melt value we'll pay for.
Rare & Collectible
Key dates, proof sets, commemoratives, and mint errors fall squarely in our wheelhouse. These pieces often hold value far beyond their metal content, and proper identification makes all the difference.
Estate Collections
Not sure what you have? Families walk through our doors every week with boxes of coins they inherited. We'll organize, identify, and appraise everything at no cost to you.

How We Price Your Coins
We don’t pull numbers out of thin air. Every offer comes with a clear explanation so you understand exactly how we arrived at it.
Precious Metal Weight
We weigh gold and silver on calibrated scales and apply live spot prices you can verify on our in-store display.
Date and Mintmark Analysis
Certain years and mint facilities produced far fewer coins. We inspect every piece for these high-value markers.
Condition Assessment
A coin's grade dramatically affects its collector premium. Sharper details and original surfaces mean stronger offers.
Important: Resist the urge to polish your coins before visiting. Cleaning strips away original surfaces and kills collector appeal. That dark toning? Collectors call it patina, and many prefer it. A single cleaning can slash numismatic value by half or more.

No appointment necessary for most visits. If you’re bringing a large estate or want a private consultation, give us a call and we’ll set aside dedicated time.
2. Receive a Complimentary Appraisal
Our numismatists inspect each coin for date, mintmark, authenticity, and condition. We research current auction results for anything unusual. This evaluation costs you nothing and carries no obligation.
3. Review a Transparent Offer
We break down every number. Bullion values tie directly to spot prices. Collectible coins reference published guides. No vague estimates, no hidden deductions.
4. Leave With Payment
Say yes and we pay you immediately. Smaller totals go out in cash. For larger transactions, we issue a company check or arrange a bank wire—your choice. Most visits wrap up in under an hour.

COMMON QUESTIONS
How can I tell if my coins have value?
Metal content, rarity, condition, and collector interest all play a role. Dates and mintmarks can swing value dramatically. A hands-on appraisal is the only reliable way to know, and ours is free.
Is there a minimum amount to sell?
None. A single coin gets the same careful attention as a vault full of gold. We welcome sellers at every level.
Do you buy PCGS or NGC graded coins?
Yes. Third-party slabs simplify pricing because the grade is already certified. We also purchase raw coins and assess their condition during the evaluation.
Can you give estimates by phone or email?
We can offer ballpark figures based on descriptions or photos. Final offers require in-person inspection since weight, authenticity, and surface quality need hands-on verification.
What if I want to think it over?
Take all the time you need. Many visitors come in just to learn what they have. There's no pressure to sell on the spot, and our door stays open when you're ready.
