Coin Buyers Serving Orland Park

Coins, currency and gold in Orland Park

Orland Park stretches along LaGrange Road in the southwest suburbs, with Orland Square as its best-known shopping stop. The village is home to many retirees. Most Orland Park sellers who look for coin and gold buyers are settling an estate or trading a house for a condo.

Old paper money turns up in many southwest suburban estates, tucked into a desk drawer or a safe-deposit box. Silver certificates are redeemable only at face value today, though collectors pay more for some, including star notes, the replacement notes marked with a star beside the serial number. Large-size notes were issued before 1929 and are noticeably bigger than today's bills.

Small-size red seal notes are United States Notes. Illinois National Bank Notes, printed from 1863 to 1935 with the name and charter number of a local bank, draw collectors, and those from small-town banks draw the most.

Mint and proof sets bought over the years come out of the same drawers. The 2003 Illinois state quarter shows a young Lincoln, the state outline and the Chicago skyline, but a circulated one is worth 25 cents. Silver proof versions carry their silver value.

Notes are priced as you found them, so bring them in the envelope or book they came out of. Gold Eagles put away as savings are priced from the live spot price for gold, and older U.S. gold struck before 1933 is checked for collector demand first. We sort collector coins from melt coins at the table so a better date is never priced as bullion.

Krugerrands, 22K with one troy ounce of gold each, are priced from spot like the Eagles. Jewelry is weighed in grams or pennyweights, and one pennyweight equals 1.555 grams.

We book Monday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm and call back the same day if you leave a message. The meeting place is set when you book, and larger estates can ask about a home visit. An executor gets a written, line-by-line offer that can go into the estate file, and the family can accept any part of it.

When brothers and sisters live in other states, one of them can bring the items and send the written list to the rest afterward. Accepted items are paid that day in cash, or by same-day wire for a larger sale. Sellers need a government-issued photo ID to complete a sale.
