Coin Buyers Serving Newtown, PA

Washington's army crossed the Delaware on Christmas night of 1776 from what is now Washington Crossing Historic Park and marched on Trenton the next morning. Newtown's historic district keeps buildings from the colonial and early federal years, and Yardley's river-town streets are almost as old. Edward Hicks, the Quaker painter of The Peaceable Kingdom, lived and worked in Newtown, and the older houses in town still give up the occasional 19th century coin: a large cent, a Seated Liberty quarter, an Indian Head cent worn nearly smooth.

Most of the coins we see here come from newer houses. Lower Bucks grew fast after World War II, with Levittown built in the 1950s and subdivisions spreading through Newtown, Yardley, Langhorne and Richboro in the decades after. People who moved into those homes in mid-career are now in their eighties and nineties, and their children are often the ones who call us.

Those households saved a lot of silver. Morgan and Peace dollars, rolls of pre-1965 quarters, Kennedy halves pulled from change in the late 1960s and Silver Eagles bought every year since 1986 make up the usual mix. Carson City Morgans and high-grade Peace dollars get set aside for collector pricing, and the rest is paid on its silver weight.

Bullion is the other big category in lower Bucks. Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs and silver bars bought in the 1980s and later are tested and weighed on a calibrated scale, then priced on the live spot price. A one ounce Gold Eagle is 22K and weighs 33.93 grams while still holding a full troy ounce of gold, and we show you that math at the table so the numbers on your offer make sense.

Newtown and Yardley are quiet places, and most sellers would rather not haul a heavy box of silver into a strip mall on Route 1 or ship it off to a mail-in buyer they have never met. We work by appointment only and set the place when you book, and larger collections and estates can ask about a home visit. If you accept the written offer you are paid the same visit, and if you decline you keep every coin and the list. Gold jewelry and dental gold can be added to the same offer, sorted by karat and weighed.
