Gold Dollar

Contrary to the look and feel of the recent United States Mint editions of the Sacagawea Gold Dollar and the Presidential Gold Dollar series, the coins are not, in fact, a gold dollar. They are simply called “Gold Dollar” as an aftermarket nickname because of their color, resembling a gold dollar. The truth is, these coins, which are affectionately called a gold dollar by a wishful public, are actually made of brass, thus leaving their value at simply a dollar.

However, America has produced an actual gold dollar in the distant past. The Liberty Head Gold Dollar was the first actual gold dollar to be produced within the United States. It was the first representative of three designs in a forty year line of the gold dollar that existed in production only in the 19th century. The Liberty Gold Dollar design had a short run of just five years before it was supplanted by the Indian Princess Gold Dollar of the small head design. This particular gold dollar had an even shorter run of just three years before giving way to the Indian Princess Gold Dollar of the large head design.

The latter of the Indian Princess Gold Dollar designs lasted throughout the rest of the run of gold dollar production in the United States. The weight of the gold dollar is 1.672 grams and the composition is akin to the many other American gold coins of the era: 90 percent gold and 10 percent copper. The gold dollar has many key dates and better dates in its limited run, especially dut to the fact that the gold dollar was well used in the migration of pioneers to the Western United States, leaving very few high quality examples of the gold dollar existing today.

Not to mention the fact that in many years during the production of the gold dollar, mintages were kept very low. If you have an authentic gold dollar as part of your collection and would like to have it professionally evaluated or would like to sell it and are looking for the best cash offer, just call or come in to any of the Nevada Coin & Jewelry locations serving the greater Las Vegas area today and let our coin professionals help you. And, if you have any of the post 1999 brass dollar that looks like a gold dollar, rest easy in knowing that your brass “gold dollar” is still spendable at any business in America.

A great selection of coins and other numismatic related material. Very professional.

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!

Grateful for the Nevada Coin and Jewelry shop, I just adore it. I took some collectable figurines in and they bought them. I came out smelling like a rose. You should’ve been there to see the big smile on my face. I ran all the way home to look for some more. Can’t wait to get back! I can sure use the money!

My wife cashed in some coins and we got top dollar. We have sold to others before but no more, we found a real professional store in Nevada Coin & Jewelry. “Thank You”

Steve

What friendly staff. They help you sell your items even if they don’t have a use for it by calling other shops around the area to see if they could use it… They want you to have the best out come from selling your items. I was so happy I decided to go to them!

B.J.

Outstanding experience! This is the best place to change your gold with a great attention. I’m completely impressive because they have a smooth and fast service, definitely nice people!

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!

Marie G.

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Building had great security to helped me feel safe in handling my items.

The staff are quick at work but not too quick to make you feel pressured into buying items or selling your items. They teach you about the items and tell you if they have use for your items or not. If they don’t have use for your items they call other places to see if they have a use for the items. Great staff!

While vacationing in Las Vegas I did what a lot of people do I’m sure or at least that’s what I’m telling my wife ..I blew through the money I brought a little quicker than expected and I ended up having to shop my Rolex around to several dealers to save the trip. So I looked online for places, most offers over the phone were low and that’s if they would even quote me in the first place. I spoke to a guy at Nevada Coin and Jewelry who gave me a fair ball park price and a reasonable explanation as to why his number couldn’t be solid. Went down expecting to get the lower number and in fact Robert their Rolex expert said my Rolex was a better model then I had described. He paid me a higher number than he quoted. Thanks for saving my vacation guys.

Really cool cats over at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. You would’ve thought that I was “Madonna” the way those guys treated me. I was so mesmerized by all of the antiques, they have in there, I believe I was there for two hours, just looking, unbelieveable! When I went in I was so hot, they offered me a cold bottle of water, how cool is that? It felt like home to me. I wanted to get a price for some old jewelry that was passed down by grandma, I was well satisfied. When I left the shop, I was singing “Money, Money, Money.
