What Our Customers Say

“My dad left behind a huge coin collection and I had no clue where to start. The team here spent two hours walking me through every piece, showing me what mattered and why. Fair offer, paid on the spot.”

Robert M. • La Jolla

“I visited three other buyers before coming here. San Diego Coin Dealer topped every quote I received. Straightforward people who move fast. This is the only place I’ll sell now.”

Susan T. • Chula Vista

“I’ve been bringing coins here for years. Prices stay competitive and the staff treats you like a person, not a transaction. These folks know numismatics inside and out. If you’re anywhere near San Diego, this is your spot.”

Common Questions

Should I polish my coins before I come in?

Never. Polishing strips away original surfaces and kills collector appeal. That dark toning? Collectors pay extra for it. Cleaned coins lose 50 to 90 percent of their premium. Bring them as-is.

What determines a coin's price?

Two things. First, metal weight times the current spot price gives you melt value. Second, collector demand based on rarity, condition, and historical interest adds a premium. Some coins trade at melt. Others sell for multiples above it.

I inherited coins but don't know anything about them.

Perfect. Bring the whole lot, even if it looks like a shoebox of random old change. We sort through everything, identify each coin, and give you a full breakdown. No fee. No obligation.

Will you buy coins that are damaged or heavily worn?

Absolutely. Bullion coins trade on metal weight, so wear barely matters. Collectible coins lose some premium with damage, but they still carry melt value at minimum.
