Silver Dollar Coin

The silver dollar coin has been produced in the United States almost since the beginning of this nation. Production began on the first silver dollar coin, the “Flowing Hair” dollar in 1794 and since then has seen quite a few makeovers. Next in line of the silver dollar coin series in the U.S. is the “Draped Bust” dollar. With two types of reverses, the Draped Bust silver dollar coin, as well as the Flowing Hair silver dollar coin, are two of the most sought after United States coins in all of numismatics.

The 1804 Draped Bust silver dollar coin is one of the rarest and most valuable coins in the world today. The United States then discontinued production of the silver dollar coin until the Gobrecht silver dollar coin brought the series back into production in the 1830’s. Although this variety of the silver dollar coin was in production for just a few years, it rekindled merchants interest in the ease and efficiency of using the silver dollar coin for transactions of the day. The “Seated Liberty” silver dollar coin followed the Gobrecht silver dollar coin and became a staple to business and investment practices for several decades in the 19th century. After congress neglected to pass legislation required to keep up production of the Seated Liberty silver dollar coin, the “Trade Dollar” silver dollar came into production and was mainly used overseas to facilitate trade and assert U.S. influence in Asia and other Pacific and Indian ocean areas as many nations in this region of the world were emerging as powerful trade partners to the United States.

A few short years after the Seated Liberty silver dollar coin was discontinued, congress passed legislation enabling mints to begin production on the “Morgan” silver dollar coin, thus providing a stable source of coinage to help in the expansion of the western United States. The Morgan silver dollar coin, after being produced for a time period spanning close to 50 years, gave way to the final business strike type of silver dollar coin the the United States would release to the public. The “Peace” silver dollar coin lasted for just 14 years in production, but made quite an impact on the coin collecting world for decades to come. The silver dollar coin of the United States has now become a staple in every coin collection and is still sought after by professional numismatists and novice coin collectors the world over.

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.

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.

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”

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.

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!

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.

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 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!

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.

Always a good experience here! Definitely the place in town I enjoy buying coins from, and I’d recommend them to anybody. Helpful staff, reasonable prices, and wide selection.
