A Coin and Gold Buyer Based in Chicago

How we work, and why

Chicago Coin Buyers is a numismatic buyer working out of an office south of the Loop, serving sellers across the city and the surrounding suburbs. The whole operation rests on one idea: a person selling coins should be able to see how the number was reached.

Plenty of people who walk in never chose to own any of this. A parent died, a house is being cleared, and suddenly there is an album of silver dollars, a coffee can of change, and a drawer of gold nobody can identify. Others have collected deliberately for decades and want the material understood rather than weighed.

Either way the process is the same. We work through what you have against the live metals markets and genuine collector demand, then hand over a written figure with the groups separated out. Spot price, weight, fineness, and any premium for year, mint, and condition are all visible, because a number you cannot check is not much use to you.

It costs nothing to find out, and nothing about the appraisal obligates you to sell. If the offer works, payment happens that day. If it does not, you keep every piece and the written appraisal goes with you.
