Rare Coins

One of the most fun things to do as coin collector is to hunt for rare coins. Rare coins are desirable because they represent notions of hidden treasure and the allure of holding something in your hand that could be worth thousands of dollars. Most rare coins are just as nondescript and unassuming as the billions of other coins circulating the world today. If someone didn’t know what to look for, those rare coins could pass through their hands and they would never have any idea of it, often times being spent for their face value. Most coin collectors, however, do know what to look for and never tire from the hunt for rare coins. Some of the most rare coins in America these days look just like every day coinage used to buy goods and services across the land. There are Lincoln cent rare coins, Jefferson nickel rare coins and Washington quarter rare coins alike that could be hiding in your change bucket at this very moment. Rare coins are what drives the collectible coin market and the best part about rare coins is that they will always be rare coins. The very definition of rare coins allows this to be possible.

Rare coins are rare due to many factors, the most important being that rare coins are exactly that: rare coins. Rare coins are usually low minted coins that have popularity and appeal to rare coins collectors. There also could be highly minted coins that qualify as rare coins due to the state of their condition. Over 88 million 1921 Morgan silver dollars were produced, many of which are still on the market today, but only a few of those coins exist in extremely high condition grades… making them rare coins. One of the most sought after and rare coins of the 20th century is the 1909 S VDB Lincoln cent. To this day, some collectors are lucky enough to find one of these rare coins in circulation as there were over 480,000 minted. If you are lucky enough to find one of these rare coins in your pocket, the coin could be worth several hundred dollars.

The easiest way to determine if the coins you have in that old coin collection qualify as rare coins, and to avoid hours of sometimes frustrating research into rare coins, is to bring them in to the coin experts at Nevada Coin & Jewelry. Rare coins are our specialty and with our highly respected knowledge and reputation, we can quickly identify any rare coins you may possess and make a competitive cash offer for them on the spot.

What inspired me to go to NV Coin and Jewelry was I was an ad on the TV for the shop. I was not too sure about going to NV Coin and Jewelry to sell my jewelry because I have been to many other pawn shops but haven’t found a good deal for my jewelry. After I went to Nevada Coin and Jewelry it was a big relief for me selling my jewelry for a good price.

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.

The staff are quick at work but not too quick to make you feel pressured into buying items or selling your items. They teach you about the items and tell you if they have use for your items or not. If they don’t have use for your items they call other places to see if they have a use for the items. Great staff!

Ramon

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.

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.

Guilherme

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…

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.

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.
