Old Coin Prices

Old coin prices in today’s market place have taken quite a hit. Ever since the coin collecting peak of the late 1980’s, old coin prices have continued to see a downturn, especially in the commemorative and foreign markets. When attempting to wade through the market hoping to find old coin prices that are stable from year to year, the novice and resourceful coin collectors alike will inevitably come to the same conclusion: it is nearly impossible. With the ever fluctuating precious metal markets, niche collectible markets falling downhill and, in some cases, completely off the cliff and a waning public interest in coin collecting overall, it becomes tougher and tougher to find old coin prices that remain stable or that move upward. However, better dates and key dates within most U.S. coin series have continued to garner interest and have comparatively escalated in recent years, driving some old coin prices into higher and higher numbers.

Key dates and better dates are coins within the many different series, or denomination and designs, of minted coins that tend to peak the interest of coin collectors from young to old. The old coin prices of these special coins can carry a significant premium. One must remember that, when determining old coin prices, old doesn’t necessarily mean rare or valuable. Old coin prices often are spread out from end to end on the spectrum and are determined by several key variables. Some of these variables that can effect old coin prices are condition, rarity, popularity, precious metal content and historical relevance. Old coin prices can also be subject to large swings from region to region and market place to market place. Some old coin prices can be higher in the eastern United States because there is still a larger coin collector base there in comparison to the western United States, where coin collecting has taken a downturn, creating a more unstable market for old coin prices.

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

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!

Wonderful experience, Nick and Laura made it seamless and stress free. Thank you! They also sell super cool items!!

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!!!!

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!

A.J. and Robert are so friendly and make it so you have the best deal with the items you bring them. They have so much knowledge about all the items they have in their shop and they like to teach others about what they know…

Been living in Vegas for many years and never had to sell or hock any of my items unfortunately as luck would have it that day did eventually find me and let me tell you is it a tough racket to find a decent place out here to do business with. Pawn shops are a joke and could care less about their customers and treated me like another number. Tried and tried and place after place the numbers where all over the place. Finally decided to go to these guys and I’m glad I did. They tested each piece of my jewelry right in from of me with some kind of xray machine. They explained how they calculated the price and paid me cash on the spot. Avery was very helpful and didn’t mind answering my questions and explaining what they do. I left feeling I got the best price for my items. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their 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!

Brenda

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

I am a brazilian and had the chance to deal with Nevada Coin. I was there to sell some gold coins and they paid me the best price I could fetch in Las Vegas. They are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Before visiting their premises I got a tentative appraisal by phone which I found reasonable. In the shop the attendant offered to approach the manager to get me a (gasp) BETTER price. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother talking to their rude and unprofessional competitors. They will treat you like a moron and quote prices accordingly. For Nevada Coin, five Stars all the way.
