Gold Dollar

Contrary to the look and feel of the recent United States Mint editions of the Sacagawea Gold Dollar and the Presidential Gold Dollar series, the coins are not, in fact, a gold dollar. They are simply called “Gold Dollar” as an aftermarket nickname because of their color, resembling a gold dollar. The truth is, these coins, which are affectionately called a gold dollar by a wishful public, are actually made of brass, thus leaving their value at simply a dollar.

However, America has produced an actual gold dollar in the distant past. The Liberty Head Gold Dollar was the first actual gold dollar to be produced within the United States. It was the first representative of three designs in a forty year line of the gold dollar that existed in production only in the 19th century. The Liberty Gold Dollar design had a short run of just five years before it was supplanted by the Indian Princess Gold Dollar of the small head design. This particular gold dollar had an even shorter run of just three years before giving way to the Indian Princess Gold Dollar of the large head design.

The latter of the Indian Princess Gold Dollar designs lasted throughout the rest of the run of gold dollar production in the United States. The weight of the gold dollar is 1.672 grams and the composition is akin to the many other American gold coins of the era: 90 percent gold and 10 percent copper. The gold dollar has many key dates and better dates in its limited run, especially dut to the fact that the gold dollar was well used in the migration of pioneers to the Western United States, leaving very few high quality examples of the gold dollar existing today.

Not to mention the fact that in many years during the production of the gold dollar, mintages were kept very low. If you have an authentic gold dollar as part of your collection and would like to have it professionally evaluated or would like to sell it and are looking for the best cash offer, just call or come in to any of the Nevada Coin & Jewelry locations serving the greater Las Vegas area today and let our coin professionals help you. And, if you have any of the post 1999 brass dollar that looks like a gold dollar, rest easy in knowing that your brass “gold dollar” is still spendable at any business in America.

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

Been living in Vegas for many years and never had to sell or hock any of my items unfortunately as luck would have it that day did eventually find me and let me tell you is it a tough racket to find a decent place out here to do business with. Pawn shops are a joke and could care less about their customers and treated me like another number. Tried and tried and place after place the numbers where all over the place. Finally decided to go to these guys and I’m glad I did. They tested each piece of my jewelry right in from of me with some kind of xray machine. They explained how they calculated the price and paid me cash on the spot. Avery was very helpful and didn’t mind answering my questions and explaining what they do. I left feeling I got the best price for my items. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their jewelry.

We were really pleased with the help that AJ gave us concering our gold coins and watches. I don’t think we could have received a better deal anywhere. All of the personnel at Nevada Coin & Jewelry were very professional. We will recommend them to our friends.

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!

My wife cashed in some coins and we got top dollar. We have sold to others before but no more, we found a real professional store in Nevada Coin & Jewelry. “Thank You”

A.J. and Robert are so friendly and make it so you have the best deal with the items you bring them. They have so much knowledge about all the items they have in their shop and they like to teach others about what they know…

A great selection of coins and other numismatic related material. Very professional.

I am a brazilian and had the chance to deal with Nevada Coin. I was there to sell some gold coins and they paid me the best price I could fetch in Las Vegas. They are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Before visiting their premises I got a tentative appraisal by phone which I found reasonable. In the shop the attendant offered to approach the manager to get me a (gasp) BETTER price. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother talking to their rude and unprofessional competitors. They will treat you like a moron and quote prices accordingly. For Nevada Coin, five Stars all the way.

After visiting a couple of the “traveling gold & silver merchants” who came to Mesquite, I made a call to Nevada Coin & Jewelry in Las Vegas… David was very helpful and professional. Their prices were the best I had seen… I left very satisfied with my trip and the deals we made. I will definitely go there again.

Nevada Coin and Jewelry – has excellent customer service – providing las Vegas with top notch service and expertise – this is my primary coin dealers — others just can’t keep up – they are helpful and friendly – in my opinion they are the best in the south west area — so that’s my review a++++ rating – because I am a good customer – this is the best place to buy and sell gold and silver bullion.

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.
