About NYC Coin Buyers
Our Story
NYC Coin Buyers began with a simple goal: to make the process of selling and buying coins in New York City transparent, rewarding, and trustworthy. Founded by passionate numismatists with decades of combined experience, our team saw the need for a reliable coin dealer that treats every client fairly, whether they’re selling a single gold coin or an entire estate collection.
Here is why our story stands out. We didn’t start as salespeople—we started as collectors. Every member of our team spent years studying the history, rarity, and artistry of coins before ever opening our doors in NYC. That background gives us a unique appreciation for each coin that passes through our hands. From early U.S. Mint issues to foreign gold sovereigns, we value authenticity and integrity above all else.
Our shop quickly became a trusted name in New York’s precious metals and coin community. Located in the heart of Manhattan, we’ve helped countless collectors, investors, and families discover the true worth of their coins and jewelry. Over the years, word of mouth spread. Customers came not only for our fair pricing but also for our honesty and deep knowledge.
We built NYC Coin Buyers around relationships—not transactions. That approach allowed us to grow from a small, appointment-only office to one of the city’s most respected coin and gold buying establishments. Our story is still being written every day as we continue to serve New Yorkers with professionalism and care.
Our Mission
At NYC Coin Buyers, our mission is simple: to deliver accurate valuations, transparent transactions, and top-dollar offers for every client who walks through our doors. We exist to make selling coins, gold, and precious metals an easy, stress-free experience for everyone—from first-time sellers to seasoned collectors.
We know that selling valuables can feel overwhelming, especially in a market filled with inconsistent information and unreliable buyers. That’s why our mission focuses on trust and clarity. We strive to educate each customer so they understand the true market value of what they own. Our appraisals are free, our quotes are honest, and our process is designed to protect your time and investment.
Here is why it matters. NYC Coin Buyers believes that every client deserves respect, regardless of the size of their sale. Whether you’re selling a rare gold coin from the 1800s or a handful of silver dollars passed down from family, our goal is to make sure you walk away satisfied—knowing you received the best value and service possible.
Our mission also includes a broader responsibility: to promote ethical standards in the coin and precious metals industry. We aim to raise the bar for how buyers operate by providing full transparency, accurate information, and fair market pricing. It’s how we maintain long-term trust with our community.
Our Values
Integrity
Integrity is the foundation of NYC Coin Buyers. Every appraisal, every transaction, and every customer interaction reflects our commitment to honesty. We never inflate values or push sales; instead, we focus on facts and fair market data. We believe that honesty builds lasting relationships—and those relationships are the heart of our business.
Transparency
We value transparency in every step of the process. When you bring in your coins, we explain how grading works, what affects value, and how current market conditions impact your offer. Our experts walk you through the appraisal process so you always understand where each number comes from. No hidden fees, no fine print—just clear communication.
Expertise
Our team consists of experienced numismatists and precious metals specialists who have spent years studying the intricacies of coins and bullion. We combine industry certifications with real-world market experience to ensure accuracy in every valuation. Clients trust us because we know what we’re talking about—and we back it up with proven results.
Respect
Respect defines how we treat every client and every collection. We know many items we appraise hold sentimental value beyond their price tag. Whether it’s a family heirloom or an inherited estate, we handle your items with care. Our goal is to make the process comfortable, professional, and rewarding.
Education
Knowledge empowers our clients. That’s why NYC Coin Buyers takes the time to explain what we see during appraisals and why certain coins hold higher premiums. We share insights on coin grading, mint marks, and collector demand so you can make informed decisions. We want our clients to leave not only with cash in hand but also with confidence in the transaction.
Our Commitment
NYC Coin Buyers is committed to providing the best possible experience for every client. We understand that when you sell coins or precious metals, you’re trusting us with something personal. That’s why our team goes above and beyond to deliver accuracy, security, and satisfaction in every transaction.
Our commitment starts with accuracy. We use advanced testing technology to assess gold purity and coin authenticity. Our evaluations are done right in front of you, ensuring full visibility. This commitment to transparency gives you confidence that your items are appraised fairly and professionally.
Next comes fairness. We stay current with global precious metal prices and collector trends to make sure our offers always reflect true market value. Our team monitors the latest spot prices, auction results, and dealer networks to ensure every client receives an honest offer—never lowball estimates or vague explanations.
We’re also committed to security. Transactions take place in a safe, private setting within our Manhattan office. Every evaluation is handled discreetly, and we treat your privacy with the highest level of respect. Whether you’re selling in person or shipping items for appraisal, your valuables are always protected.
Let’s take it further. Our commitment extends beyond buying and selling. We’re dedicated to helping New Yorkers understand the real value of their precious metals and collectibles. Through educational content, one-on-one consultations, and community outreach, we aim to make numismatics more accessible to everyone.
Our promise doesn’t stop once a transaction is complete. We believe in building relationships, not just conducting business. Many of our clients return year after year, referring friends and family because they trust our consistency. That loyalty is the true measure of our success—and it’s something we work hard to earn daily.
