Rare Coins

One of the most fun things to do as coin collector is to hunt for rare coins. Rare coins are desirable because they represent notions of hidden treasure and the allure of holding something in your hand that could be worth thousands of dollars. Most rare coins are just as nondescript and unassuming as the billions of other coins circulating the world today. If someone didn’t know what to look for, those rare coins could pass through their hands and they would never have any idea of it, often times being spent for their face value. Most coin collectors, however, do know what to look for and never tire from the hunt for rare coins. Some of the most rare coins in America these days look just like every day coinage used to buy goods and services across the land. There are Lincoln cent rare coins, Jefferson nickel rare coins and Washington quarter rare coins alike that could be hiding in your change bucket at this very moment. Rare coins are what drives the collectible coin market and the best part about rare coins is that they will always be rare coins. The very definition of rare coins allows this to be possible.

Rare coins are rare due to many factors, the most important being that rare coins are exactly that: rare coins. Rare coins are usually low minted coins that have popularity and appeal to rare coins collectors. There also could be highly minted coins that qualify as rare coins due to the state of their condition. Over 88 million 1921 Morgan silver dollars were produced, many of which are still on the market today, but only a few of those coins exist in extremely high condition grades… making them rare coins. One of the most sought after and rare coins of the 20th century is the 1909 S VDB Lincoln cent. To this day, some collectors are lucky enough to find one of these rare coins in circulation as there were over 480,000 minted. If you are lucky enough to find one of these rare coins in your pocket, the coin could be worth several hundred dollars.

The easiest way to determine if the coins you have in that old coin collection qualify as rare coins, and to avoid hours of sometimes frustrating research into rare coins, is to bring them in to the coin experts at Nevada Coin & Jewelry. Rare coins are our specialty and with our highly respected knowledge and reputation, we can quickly identify any rare coins you may possess and make a competitive cash offer for them on the spot.

I recently got divorced so I wanted to get rid of some of the jewelry my ex-husband got me. I found Nevada Coin and jewelry searching the web. When I called the guy that answered the phone was friendly and willing to quote me a price per gram. I went to their store on Flamingo, Avery whom I spoke to on the phone tested my items using some kind of x-ray machine. I could see that some of my jewelry was not the karat I thought (some lower some higher). He paid what he quoted on the phone no bait and switch. It took less than 15 minutes got my cash and got rid of some bad memories. I would recommend this company if you are looking to sell jewelry.

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”

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.

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

What inspired me to go to NV Coin and Jewelry was I was an ad on the TV for the shop. I was not too sure about going to NV Coin and Jewelry to sell my jewelry because I have been to many other pawn shops but haven’t found a good deal for my jewelry. After I went to Nevada Coin and Jewelry it was a big relief for me selling my jewelry for a good price.

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…

We were really pleased with the help that AJ gave us concering our gold coins and watches. I don’t think we could have received a better deal anywhere. All of the personnel at Nevada Coin & Jewelry were very professional. We will recommend them to our friends.

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!
