Call to Schedule
Call (737) 200-7042 to schedule your appointment. We will discuss what you have and confirm a time that works for you. Buyers are available Monday through Saturday.
We Appraise While You Wait
Our buyers examine your coins on the spot. Expect 30 to 60 minutes for large collections. A handful of coins typically takes 10 minutes. Every piece gets individual attention.
You Get a Written Offer
We give you an itemized, written offer that breaks down what we pay for each group. Accept, decline, or take it to another buyer for comparison. No pressure, no obligation.
Cash or Wire Same Day
Accept the offer and leave with cash (up to our daily limit) or have funds wired to your bank the same business day. No waiting periods. No checks to clear.
What Determines the Offer You Receive for Your Coins
Every offer we make is grounded in publicly available market data. We explain what drives each number so you can verify it independently. Understanding how coin buying works protects you from leaving value on the table, regardless of which buyer you choose.
Metal Content
For bullion coins and common silver or gold, the metal spot price drives the offer. Austin buyers typically pay 85 to 95 percent of melt value on bullion, depending on the coin type, quantity, and current market conditions. Larger quantities generally get closer to spot.
Numismatic Value
Rare coins, key dates, and high-grade certified coins sell for significantly above melt. Our buyers reference the PCGS Price Guide, Grey Sheet, and recent auction records from Heritage Auctions and Stack's Bowers to price these accurately.
Condition and Certification
Graded coins in PCGS, NGC, or ANACS holders command premiums. Raw coins get priced conservatively because authentication risk falls on the buyer. If you have graded coins, bring them in original holders and do not remove them.
Melt Value vs Numismatic Value
A 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar contains about $50 of silver at today’s spot. In uncirculated condition, it can bring $125 to $225. A 1921-D Morgan carries the same silver content but can sell for $2,000 or more because of its rarity. Knowing what you have before you sell keeps real money in your pocket, which is why we always provide itemized written offers explaining what we pay for each piece.
Serving Austin and Central Texas
Austin Coin Buyers welcomes sellers from across the entire Austin metro. Our centrally located office on Smith Road is accessible from Tarrytown, Hyde Park, Clarksville, and the surrounding neighborhoods with ease. Sellers regularly come in from Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown to the north; Pflugerville and Manor to the east; and Kyle, Buda, and San Marcos to the south.
Many Austin sellers come to us after receiving a quote from an online buyer. They want a direct, in-person appraisal from someone who can examine the coins. Remote estimates miss details that matter. We regularly find value that mail-in services overlook.
For large collections or situations where transport is difficult, ask about our at-home appraisal option. Our buyers can come to you when the collection warrants it.
Why Sell Coins Locally Instead of Online
No shipping risk. Online coin buyers require you to mail high-value items, often with insurance ceilings that fall below the actual value of what you’re sending. Postal delays, handling damage, and the risk of loss disappear entirely when you bring coins in person. Your coins never leave your hands until you accept an offer.
No delay between appraisal and payment. Online buyers receive your coins, examine them at their facility, and send an offer you may or may not agree with. Getting your coins back after declining means waiting again. In person, you get the offer while you wait and walk out with payment the same day.
We see every coin in context. Photos miss critical details: subtle toning that signals natural aging, luster breaks that affect grade, hairlines from past cleaning, and die varieties that can multiply a coin’s value. Our buyers examine coins under proper lighting with loupes and reference tools. Online buyers working from photos routinely miss value that an in-person examination catches.
You can walk away at any point. Shipping coins to an online buyer commits you to a process that is hard to reverse. In-person means zero commitment until you sign off. Decline the offer, take the written paperwork, and use it to get other bids. That flexibility does not exist with mail-in services.
Call (737) 200-7042 to schedule your appointment and talk through your coins before your visit. We are available Monday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm.
Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Coins in Austin
Austin Coin Buyers serves sellers by appointment Monday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm. Call (737) 200-7042 to schedule your visit and walk through what you have. We work with sellers from across the Austin metro, including Tarrytown, Hyde Park, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and the surrounding areas.
For common bullion silver including American Silver Eagles, 90% pre-1964 coins, and silver rounds, Austin dealers typically pay 85 to 92 percent of melt value. At current silver spot prices, one dollar of face value in pre-1964 silver contains roughly 0.715 troy ounces. Numismatic coins like Morgan dollars in uncirculated condition can pay significantly above melt depending on date, mintmark, and grade.
No. Never clean coins before selling. Cleaning permanently damages the original surface and destroys value. Even gentle polishing removes the natural patina that collectors and dealers expect. A cleaned coin typically sells for 50 to 90 percent less than an uncleaned example of the same type and grade. Leave every coin exactly as you found it.
The most valuable coins tend to be pre-1933 US gold, key-date Morgan and Peace silver dollars, early American copper, and PCGS or NGC certified coins in high grades. Signs of value include low mintage years, original mint luster on uncirculated coins, and coins still in original holders from the mint or a grading service. When in doubt, bring them in. Appraisals are free and there is no obligation to sell.
Start by leaving everything as you found it. Do not clean or sort aggressively. Keep coins in their original holders. Call us at (737) 200-7042 before transporting anything. We can discuss what you have and whether we can come to you for large or fragile collections. When you are ready, we provide a sit-down appraisal with an itemized written offer. You decide whether to accept.
Yes. Austin Coin Buyers pays cash on the spot for accepted offers, up to our daily cash limit. For larger transactions, we wire funds directly to your bank account the same business day you accept. No delays, no waiting for checks to clear.
Get multiple offers. We encourage comparisons. Bring our written itemized offer to another buyer and see how it stacks up. We base offers on published references including the PCGS Price Guide, Grey Sheet dealer pricing, and current metal spot prices. We explain what drives the numbers for each category, so you understand exactly what you are being paid.
Pre-1964 US silver coins contain 90% silver. One dollar of face value holds about 0.715 troy ounces of pure silver. At current spot prices, that melt value is well above historical norms. To see the exact melt value of your coins, use this free gold calculator. In quantity, we typically pay 85 to 92 percent of melt value. Key dates and uncirculated examples command premiums well above melt.
Yes. We buy all sizes of American Gold Eagle coins including 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz in both bullion and proof versions. American Gold Eagles are among the most widely recognized gold coins in the world. We pay a strong percentage of melt based on the current gold spot price, with proof versions and low-mintage dates receiving numismatic premiums.
Morgan dollar offers depend on date, mintmark, and condition. Common dates in circulated condition like 1921 Morgans start near silver melt — currently around $50 per coin. Semi-key dates in Fine condition fetch meaningful premiums above melt. Key dates like the 1893-S Morgan in any circulated grade can bring hundreds to thousands. Bring your Morgans in and we evaluate each one individually.
