Platinum Coins

Platinum coins are highly coveted and sought after by investors and coin collectors, alike. Most people would assume that platinum coins are a relatively new phenomenon in the investment and numismatic coin world. On the contrary, platinum coins have a storied past spanning the past few hundred years, since Spanish colonialism in America began. Platinum coins have also been a long time favorite of Russia, especially during the imperial times prior to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. At one point in history, platinum was used by counterfeiters in the making of counterfeit coins to replace silver, which was considerably more expensive at the time.

And at other times, platinum was introduced to foreign government issue gold coins to reduce the gold content in the coins, thereby saving governments money. Today, as most of us know, platinum is far more valuable than silver and often trades at or higher than the price of gold. Platinum coins in America came about in 1997 after the huge successes of the American Gold and Silver Eagle releases and the the success of platinum coins coming from our neighbors to the north in Canada. Platinum coins made in the American Platinum Eagle series come in four different denominations: the 10 dollar Platinum American Eagle, the 25 dollar Platinum American Eagle, the 50 dollar Platinum American Eagle and the 100 dollar Platinum American Eagle.

There are also platinum coins made as commemoratives within the United States. These platinum coins tend to keep a low profile in the numismatic world but still carry significant value to to their precious metal content. All platinum coins made at United States mints are pure bullion platinum and there has never been any platinum coins made in America that were meant for circulation. Platinum coins are perfect for any investment package and can compliment any numismatic collection.

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”

Really cool cats over at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. You would’ve thought that I was “Madonna” the way those guys treated me. I was so mesmerized by all of the antiques, they have in there, I believe I was there for two hours, just looking, unbelieveable! When I went in I was so hot, they offered me a cold bottle of water, how cool is that? It felt like home to me. I wanted to get a price for some old jewelry that was passed down by grandma, I was well satisfied. When I left the shop, I was singing “Money, Money, Money.

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.

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.

What friendly staff. They help you sell your items even if they don’t have a use for it by calling other shops around the area to see if they could use it… They want you to have the best out come from selling your items. I was so happy I decided to go to them!

While vacationing in Las Vegas I did what a lot of people do I’m sure or at least that’s what I’m telling my wife ..I blew through the money I brought a little quicker than expected and I ended up having to shop my Rolex around to several dealers to save the trip. So I looked online for places, most offers over the phone were low and that’s if they would even quote me in the first place. I spoke to a guy at Nevada Coin and Jewelry who gave me a fair ball park price and a reasonable explanation as to why his number couldn’t be solid. Went down expecting to get the lower number and in fact Robert their Rolex expert said my Rolex was a better model then I had described. He paid me a higher number than he quoted. Thanks for saving my vacation guys.

Great family run store. I’m well taken care of every time I show up at this location. Thank you Nick.

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.

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.
