Rare Gold Coin

What constitutes a rare gold coin? Well, most coins that have been minted in the precious metal of gold will not qualify as a rare gold coin. A rare gold coin must meet criteria that far exceeds just the fact that it is minted as a gold coin. A rare gold coin must not only first be gold, which will always make it more valuable than most other coins, but it must also be of a significantly lower mintage, must be in a very nice shape (usually in almost uncirculated or higher) and must have a collector demand that exceeds it’s value in just gold.

There are many varieties of what would qualify as a rare gold coin. For example, although most of the modern gold releases from the United States mints will trade for right around their weight in gold, there are a few of the modern commemoratives that will trade for significantly higher based on the standards of rarity laid out earlier, among many other factors. One of these is a rare gold coin known as the five Dollar 1997 uncirculated Jackie Robinson commemorative coin. This rare gold coin could trade for as much as five times its weight in gold or more. This alone would qualify it as being a rare gold coin. But it also meets the other criteria needed to make it a rare gold coin.

It has an unusually low mintage and in order to get the most value for this rare gold coin, it must still be in a mint state. Gold coins were once minted for circulation as legal tender in both the United States and abroad. These gold coins would pass from hand to hand, in payment for goods and services rendered, much like our paper money does today. Many of these gold coins would wear down and get scratched up, leaving those set aside for collectors to possibly garner a rare gold coin status. Of these pre-1933 circulated gold coins, many have jumped into the rare gold coin status as they are becoming more and more difficult to find. Although a major percentage of these gold coins would not qualify as a rare gold coin, those that do can command quite a premium.

If you have a gold coin and would like an evaluation to determine if it qualifies as a rare gold coin, or if your already know you have a rare gold coin and would like a determination of its worth or are ready to sell, just come in to Nevada Coin & Jewelry and have any one of our coin experts take a look at it. If it indeed is a rare gold coin we will walk you though the steps of grading and determining a final value for it. For any gold coins, be it a rare gold coin or a gold coin just worth its weight in gold, we will make you a top dollar cash offer.

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

Great family run store. I’m well taken care of every time I show up at this location. Thank you Nick.

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.

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.

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.

This dealer was beyond excellent in all respects! No low-ball games, no fooling around. These people are honest, and the transaction was handled smoothly with complete transparency. I will definitely recommend Nevada Coin & Jewelry to everybody I know!

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!!!!

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

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.

This place is definitely recommended!!! A.J. and David are amazing…very helpful and nice people at that! I would totally consider going to this place.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

After visiting a couple of the “traveling gold & silver merchants” who came to Mesquite, I made a call to Nevada Coin & Jewelry in Las Vegas… David was very helpful and professional. Their prices were the best I had seen… I left very satisfied with my trip and the deals we made. I will definitely go there again.
