Coin Buyer Near Boston, MA

A Premier Coin Buyer Near Boston, MA

 

Plenty of people have silver or gold coins in their possession; the coin buyers at The Jewelers & Loan Co. of Quincy, Massachusetts, with the coins you are looking to sell.

Our coin buyers would like to offer a few tips when it comes to Loan Collecting. First, do NOT clean the coins. If you cannot see a date, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is valuable. Even though a coin is old, meaning pre-1900, it does not always indicate that it is rare or valuable. Also, a lot of people assume that if a coin is in great condition, it is worth a great deal of money. Well, according to our Loan Collection buyers, coins have over seventy different states of grading their condition at a minimum. There are many counterfeits out there as well!

The most common Pre 1964- United States Coinage is made from silver. So, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollars from that time period are ninety percent silver and worth more than their face values. Other coins pre-dating 1964 that may hold value are Silver Morgan and Peace dollars, Kennedy half dollars, Benjamin Franklin half-dollars, silver Mercury dimes, Roosevelt dimes, Barber dimes, silver George Washington Quarters, standing liberty silver quarter war nickels, and more.

Our private coin buyers purchase Canadian, Mexican, French, English, Russian, South American, Chinese, UK, Japanese, and many more foreign country coins.

Coin pricing is determined by multiple factors according to our private coin buyers, but for the sake of simplicity, rarity, metal composition, condition, origin, and age are the main factors. There are also several publications such as GreySheet and Blue Sheet, which are specific guides to pricing coins, as well as coin auctions, and the metal spot markets where coin values may be determined.

Sell Your Gold, Silver, & Platinum Coins for Cash

Here, at our Massachusetts pawn shop, our coin buyers know the value of many of today’s rarest coins. We are also happy to help our clients determine whether or not the silver and gold coins they want to sell for cash are of any value and how much they can get from selling these coins for cash. Our coin buyers specialize in trade-in rare coins and appraising rare Loan Collections.

Even if you are just searching for an appraisal, our coin dealers can help you get the insight you need with a no-obligation appraisal on your property. When you visit our Quincy, MA pawn shop, we will provide information on the history of the coins you bring in and also some information on the condition of your coins as well. We adhere to the standardized grading conditions of all the coins we appraise. These are the foundational elements of the American Numismatic Association of Grading Standards.

Proof— A coin made for a special occasion that is distinguished by crisp graphics and typically is made with a brilliant surface area. The term proof is used to label the form of manufacture, not its condition. When the term “proof” is used, it sometimes means a superior condition unless otherwise noted and described.

Gem Proof (PF-65)— A specially made coin that is distinguished by sharp details and typically made with a brilliant, mirror-like surface. If you have a proof coin to sell, you will be able to tell by its appearance. The term proof is used to describe the method of manufacture, not its grade. When the term “proof” is used, it is meant to describe a superior condition unless otherwise noted. Loan Collector buyers often refer to coins as “gems,” even though these coins may or may not be different from a “proof” coin as described above.

Choice Proof (PF-60)— This is a type of proof coin where the surface is reflective, with only a few blemishes in secondary focal points. You will likely not even notice the blemishes on these coins because they are not in noticeable areas. There are also no major flaws on choice proof coins.

Proof (PF-60)— A coin that is “proof” may have several contact marks, hairlines, or light rubs on an otherwise mirrored surface. The luster may be dull compared to gem proof or choice proof coins.

Our private coin buyers purchase Canadian, Mexican, French, English, Russian, South American, Chinese, UK, Japanese, and many more foreign country coins.

Mint States

The terms “mint state” and “uncirculated” have the same meaning. When a coin is considered mint, it shows no trace of wear. These coins vary slightly due to minor imperfections and are based on the following subcategories:

Perfect Uncirculated (MS-70)— This type of coin is in perfect new condition, showing no trace of wear. This coin is the finest quality possible, with no evidence of scratches, handling or contact with other coins. These coins are virtually perfect and the finest quality possible. There are very few circulation-issued coins ever found in this condition. If you feel as though you may have one of these gold coins, bring them into our Quincy, MA jewelry store so we can help you determine if this is the type of coin you have.

Perfect Uncirculated (MS-70) — New condition, showing no trace of wear. This coin is of the finest quality with no evidence of damage. These coins are virtually perfect and of the finest quality for coinage. If you have a coin believed to be in perfect condition, bring them to our Quincy, MA jewelry store so we can further examine it.
Gem Uncirculated (MS-65) — This is an uncirculated coin that is also rated highly. It will be brilliant and will have very few blemishes on the rim or surface of the coin.
Choice Uncirculated (MS-63) — A coin with some contact marks or blemishes in prime focal areas. The luster on this coin may not be as bright, yet it is still a coin of high-quality.
Uncirculated (MS-60) — This coin has no traces of noticeable wear but will display a few handling and contact marks. The surface of this coin may be lacking in luster. This is the most common type of mint state coin we see in our store.

Choice About Uncirculated (AU-55) — This type of coin has at least three-fourths of its original mint luster.
About Uncirculated (AU-50) — These coins may have traces of light wear on many of the highest points of the coin. At least half of the mint luster will still be present.
Choice Extremely Fine (EF-45) — This type of coin may have overall wear on the high points of the coin. All of the design details are still very sharp, and some of the mint lusters are still evident. We see many of these coins in our Quincy, MA shop.
Extremely Fine (EF-40) — There is light wear on the design of the coin throughout, but all features on the coin are still sharp and well defined. You may still see traces of luster.
Choice Very Fine (VF-30) — This type of coin has a light, even wear on the surface and the highest parts of the design. All the lettering and major features on the coin are sharp. If you have this type of coin, bring it in to our shop for an appraisal on your piece.

Good (G-4) — A G4 or “Good” grade coin still is heavily worn and has a design that is visible but faint in certain areas. Most of the details in these coins are still flat.
About Good (AG-3) — An AG-3, or “about good” rated coin, is going to be very heavily worn, with portions of the lettering, the date, and the legend has worn smooth. The date is typically barely readable in these coins.

An Important Note About Selling Rare Coins for Cash

Grading Loan Conditions when buying coins is significantly different than grading gold or silver jewelry. When selling your gold coins, it is important to note that undamaged coins are worth more than damaged ones. Flawless or uncirculated coins are extremely valuable but also extremely rare. In many situations, “flawless looking” coins actually have slight wear and are known in the industry as “sliders.” We encounter far more “sliders” at our Quincy, MA location, than flawless coins in superior condition. Loan Collectors and buyers know that these coins have been cleaned and buffed to appear uncirculated yet have less value than perfect coins.

If you have a gold coin, other coins of value you would like to sell; you will discover our coin buyers purchase a variety of different coins right here at our location in Quincy, MA. Below you can review a brief overview of some of the most valuable coins in today’s market according to our coin dealers.
