Selling Gold Coins, Silver Coins or a Coin Collection in Austin?

The Diamond Room purchases qualifying gold and silver coins, bullion coins, collectible coins and coin collections. Whether you have a few inherited pieces or a substantial holding, you don't need to know the name, grade or exact value of each coin to begin. We assess precious-metal content and any applicable collector premium when considering a purchase offer.

Meet by appointment at our private Austin showroom. Initial evaluations are complimentary, and you have no obligation to sell.

Gold and silver coins evaluated for purchase in Austin
What we consider

Types of Gold and Silver Coins We Consider

Gold coins

American Gold Eagles, American Gold Buffalos, Canadian Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, pre-1933 U.S. gold coins and other recognized international coins.

Silver coins

American Silver Eagles, Canadian Silver Maple Leafs, Morgan dollars, Peace dollars, pre-1965 U.S. silver coinage and other qualifying silver coins.

Collectible and graded coins

Coins with potential collector premiums based on rarity, condition, date, mint mark, third-party certification and current demand. We consider coins graded by PCGS or NGC as well as qualifying uncertified coins.

Inherited and substantial coin collections

Mixed gold and silver collections, albums, holders, tubes and other collections. If yours is particularly large or valuable, contact us before bringing it in.

Are Old Coins Worth More Than Their Metal Content?

Some coins trade mainly on the gold or silver they contain. Others have additional numismatic or collectible value. A coin's age alone does not make it rare, and a coin with little collectible premium may still have considerable precious-metal value. We consider both metal value and any applicable collector premium, then explain a purchase offer based on current buying conditions.

How Gold and Silver Prices Affect Coin Offers

Gold and silver spot prices are useful benchmarks, but a coin's actual weight and purity, type, condition, liquidity and supported collector premium may influence its market value. A purchase offer is not a promise of full retail value or a fixed percentage of spot.

Should I Have My Coins Graded Before Selling?

Not necessarily. Professional grading or authentication may be useful for some coins, but paying to grade every inherited or bullion coin may not make financial sense. We can discuss whether additional evaluation could be warranted for a particular item.

Inherited Coins? Don't Clean Them.

Cleaning, polishing or altering certain collectible coins may reduce their collector value. Leave them as received and bring any available certificates or supporting information. If your collection also includes jewelry, watches or bullion, see inherited jewelry, coins and valuables.

Bars and bullion

Selling Gold or Silver Bars Instead?

Bars, rounds and other investment bullion are covered on our dedicated gold and silver bullion buying page. For mixed estate sales, review our estate jewelry and diamond buyer service.
