Coin Buyers Serving Moorestown, NJ

Quaker farmers settled Moorestown in the late 1600s, and Moorestown Friends School has been teaching children on Main Street since 1785. For most of its history the township was orchards, nurseries and farm fields, and a few of the old farmhouses still stand among the newer streets.

After World War II the farms gave way to neighborhoods. The radar and defense work that began at the RCA plant, now part of Lockheed Martin, brought engineers and managers to town, and they settled in Lenola, around Strawbridge Lake and in the developments that went up on former farmland. People with that kind of job often kept careful records of everything they owned, coins included.

Moorestown estates lean toward gold coins. We see Liberty and Saint-Gaudens double eagles, $10 eagles and $5 half eagles kept in a bank box, along with Krugerrands and Gold Eagles bought as savings in later years. Pre-1933 U.S. gold is 90% gold, and a $20 double eagle holds 0.9675 troy ounces. Many of these coins sell for more than their metal because of the date, the mint mark or the grade, so each one is checked as a collector coin before it is priced as bullion.

Graded coins show up here often, sometimes with the original receipts tucked into the box. Longtime collectors sent their better Morgan dollars and gold to PCGS or NGC and stacked the slabs in a drawer, and many also bought proof sets from the Mint every year and never opened them. Silver proof sets carry 90% silver coins in many years. We price each slab on its grade and on what collectors pay today, and we price each proof set on its silver plus any premium for the year. Mint sets with uncirculated coins in their original envelopes are common too, and we check them for any single coin worth pulling out.

Main Street, Strawbridge Lake and the Moorestown Mall on Route 38 are part of daily life here, and few people want an appraisal to happen in front of the neighbors. We meet by appointment only, at a place set privately when you call. Many sellers here are retirees who bought coins steadily over a long career and now want a clear accounting of it. Executors and families with large holdings can ask about a home visit. The offer is written up coin by coin, and you decide on your own schedule.
