About us
A private coin and gold buyer for Philadelphia
Philadelphia Coin Buyers exists for the person at the dining room table with a box of coins, a jewelry box of old gold, and no idea who to trust. We meet privately, show every step, and put the offer on paper.
What we promise at every appointment
Everything stays in your sight
Nothing goes into a back room. We check date, mint mark, grade and eye appeal on the table between us. Gold is sorted by karat and tested without acid or scratching. Everything is weighed on a calibrated scale you can read yourself.
We sort before we price
A box of coins is rarely one thing. We separate collector coins from melt coins first, so a scarce date never gets weighed out as bullion. With jewelry, we point out any signed or antique piece that may be worth more to a jeweler than to a gold buyer.
The offer is on paper
You get an item-by-item list showing what each coin, group or lot of gold is worth and why. Families settling an estate use it to talk things over. It's yours to keep whatever you decide.
No pressure
Say yes and you are paid that same visit by cash, check, or wire for larger sales. Say no and everything goes home with you. We'd rather you call back next month than sell today and wonder.
Why appointments only
Most people who call us would rather not carry a coffee can of silver or a parent's gold onto the El or into a busy shop on Sansom Street. Working by appointment lets us give each seller our full attention, keep the meeting private, and offer a home visit to sellers with larger collections who ask. Call (215) 798-9204 to set a time.
